Sleep-deprived teens are more likely to be involved in car crashes, and run a higher risk of injury during sports-related activities.<\/p>\n<p>Experts have pointed to various reasons for the chronic teenage sleep deficit: growing homework loads, too many extra-curricular activities, caffeine consumption, school start times that run counter to middle and high schoolers\u2019 natural circadian rhythms, and the use of electronic devices and backlit screens, which may disrupt sleep patterns, before bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>But researchers at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/\">Ä¢¹½´«Ã½<\/a> have found that a simple and timeworn solution yields solid results: a clear bedtime that parents consistently adhere to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreater enforcement of parent-set bedtimes for teenagers aged 14-to-17 are associated with longer sleep duration,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daemen.edu\/academics\/areas-study\/psychological-sciences\/department-spotlight\/faculty-spotlight\/jack-peltz\">Jack Peltz<\/a>, lead author of a recent study, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/sleep\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/sleep\/zsz287\/5647326?guestAccessKey=d6a164fd-c1da-4ec4-a195-7e4e0363982d\">published in the academic journal <em>Sleep<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em>Peltz, now an assistant professor of psychology at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daemen.edu\/\">Daemen College<\/a>, earned his PhD in psychology at Rochester in 2013 and conducted the study as part of a research appointment at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/psychiatry.aspx\">Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Medical Center\u2019s Department of Psychiatry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Study participants included teenagers and their parents. The team asked their teenage participants to keep twice-daily sleep diary entries over seven days, collecting reports of sleep duration, daytime energy levels, and depressive symptoms.

But to date, only about 14 percent of US high schools have heeded the recommendation, which makes the rule-setting role of parents all the more important.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers acknowledge that setting a bedtime for teenagers might be difficult; but their results suggest that even with pre-bedtime conflict, parents\u2019 enforcement of bedtimes yielded better mental health outcomes for their offspring. That said\u2014\u201cideally parents should be able to work collaboratively with their teenagers to develop bedtimes that still support the child&#8217;s autonomy,\u201d says Peltz.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line, according to coauthor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/psy\/people\/faculty\/rogge_ronald\/\">Ronald Rogge<\/a>, an associate professor of psychology at Rochester, is that \u201ceven though adolescents start gaining self-sufficiency and independence, they still need sleep and might not prioritize that if left to their own devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Teens and sleep: How much is enough?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Absent an iron-clad rule, there are nevertheless healthy ranges, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/people\/21799730-heidi-v-connolly\">Heidi Connolly<\/a>, a professor of pediatrics and chief of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/childrens-hospital\/sleep-center.aspx\">Division of Pediatric Sleep Medicine<\/a> at Rochester, who is also a coauthor of the study.
