Data from the Sleep Foundation shows that as many as 70% of US high schoolers lack the recommended eight to ten hours of sleep on school nights. Such deficits can have serious consequences for a teen's daily life, education, and overall well-being, warns Mission Prep.
Insufficient sleep is linked with a negative impact on mood, memory, and concentration, hurting academic performance in turn. Even more worryingly, a strong correlation exists between chronic insomnia and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, a primary concern for many parents.
As such, Mission Prep’s publication shares a selection of non-medication strategies for managing sleep difficulties, detailing the importance of establishing healthy sleep habits for long-term improvement while introducing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. This structured treatment is designed to help change thoughts and behaviors that might interfere with sleep, with many individuals seeing positive results.
For cases where medication is considered, the material provides a balanced overview of different options. It discusses prescription and non-prescription sleep aids, including melatonin, trazodone, zolpidem, and more - presenting relevant information to help parents weigh the potential benefits and risks before they consult with a medical professional.
And as an alternative to pharmaceuticals, Mission Prep also suggests methods that align with a modern focus on health and wellness.
“Using techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation, and guided imagery can also improve your sleep,” notes the guide. “If you have a racing mind, mindfulness can help you to slow down, while if you tend to feel tense, progressive muscle relaxation exercises can help you let go of the stress of the day that you are holding in your body.”
The release of these insights comes as Mission Prep remains committed to guiding adolescents through mental health challenges. The organization offers personalized treatment plans for families to address interconnected issues - including anxiety and sleep disturbances.
