Parent-set bedtimes improve sleep patterns for Aussie teens, study reveals
A new study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that parent-set bedtimes have a significant impact on maintaining healthy sleep patterns in early adolescence. The research found that adolescents with consistent bedtime rules slept about 20 minutes longer than those without set rules. The study also revealed that some parents successfully reintroduced bedtime rules during adolescence, challenging the belief that teenagers won't accept the return of such rules. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining and reintroducing bedtime rules to promote healthier sleep habits among teenagers.
