This week's Ask Dr Jessica is all about how to help our teenagers get better sleep! I am joined by Julie Wright, MFT and Heather Turgeon, MFT and we discuss their newest book "Generation Sleepless".  We all know that sleep is so important, but teenagers often get overlooked.  Their natural circadian rhythm keeps them awake later at night, but it can be so difficult for them to get enough sleep when school starts early.  What can we as parents do about this to help?  Julie and Healther offer great suggestions!  Also, for more information please check out their website:  www.thehappysleeper.com and you can follow them on instagram @thehappysleeper.
