July 12, 2023 Teen Sleep and Digital Technology – Important Issues
In this Healthed lecture, paediatric and adolescent sleep physician, Dr Chris Seton provides practical tips to help patients resolve sleep deprivation that is now occurring in 70% of Australian teens. Despite causing significant learning, mood & behavioural problems, chronic teen sleep deprivation is rarely diagnosed by Family Practitioners. Attempting to normalise moods with psychological strategies, and /or medication is futile when sleep deprivation co-exists. Sleep treatment elevates moods, reduces anxiety, enhances learning, and creates resilience in the face of stress.
