What causes teenagers to develop insomnia?

My daughter is 17-years-old and keeps suffering from insomnia. What causes teenagers to develop insomnia?

1 Answer

Is she watching TV playing games, or using cellphone before bed. The blue light interferes with natural melatonin production that makes you get into a regular sleep cycle. Is she sleeping late? If so get up 1 hour earlier and go to bed 1 hour earlier until you are getting to sleep on time. Depression can also cause sleep changes
