Start with knowing what kids need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average American teenager gets \u003ca href=\"https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/sleep-disorder-center/sleep-in-adolescents\">seven hours\u003c/a> of sleep a night, wedging it in between homework, outside activities, dinner and maybe a job. But research \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/02/14/146881838/how-much-sleep-do-kids-need-not-such-a-mystery-after-all\">suggests\u003c/a> teens need more like nine hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, even their bodies work against them, says \u003ca href=\"https://vivo.brown.edu/display/mcarskad\">Mary Carskadon\u003c/a>, a longtime sleep researcher and professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University. As children grow into the middle and teen years, they are naturally inclined to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130594/\">go to bed later\u003c/a> and sleep later in the morning. But an early school start time doesn't allow it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If kids' body clocks are shifting later and the school is starting earlier, there's no time left to recover,\" Carskadon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and Clark have evidence-based tips for weary teens and their parents:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Put electronics away and out of reach.\u003c/strong> Research has long shown that screen time interferes with good sleep because \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/11/19/502610055/heavy-screen-time-rewires-young-brains-for-better-and-worse\">it's stimulating\u003c/a>, and those \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/03/568133027/encore-blue-light-and-sleep\">blue light filters\u003c/a>\" that minimize the most troublesome part of the spectrum won't help much if you're stressed out. So do whatever it takes to make sleep hours electronics-free. \"If I were an entrepreneur, my get-rich-quick scheme would be the family tech lockbox,\" says Carskadon. (There are already a few \u003ca href=\"http://www.distractagone.com/\">phone lockers\u003c/a> in the works or \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Mounted-Phone-Locker-Storage-Acrylic/dp/B0765C89CY\">on the market\u003c/a> that may do the trick.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Instill a regular bedtime routine.\u003c/strong> Try to turn the lights out at around the same time and wake up at the same time, even on weekends, because the evidence shows you can't really \"make up\" missed sleep \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/20/630792401/sleep-scientist-warns-against-walking-through-life-in-an-underslept-state\">on the weekends\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sleep masks are useful, but avoid long naps. \u003c/strong>Sleep masks can help create an environment conducive to sleep, says Carskadon, as can trying to prevent sleepy kids from taking long,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>late afternoon naps. A 20-minute nap \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/05/15/527952956/stressed-out-high-schoolers-advised-to-take-a-nap-pod\">might be refreshing\u003c/a>, but longer sleep sessions during the day can make it harder to get good rest at night. \"The kids who struggle most at night are the ones who will be falling asleep in school, going to the nurse's office, and pouring a bowl of Cheerios and falling asleep in them,\" Carskadon says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Limit caffeine — even more than you already do.\u003c/strong> After school, many teens grab a soda or an energy drink to power through the rest of the afternoon. But this just makes going to bed on time more difficult, which, in turn, makes the next day harder. The disruptions add up. In the Mott survey, 54 percent of parents had their teens limit caffeine in the evening, notes Clark, although she suggests cutting it back earlier in the day or even completely.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pull back on the crammed schedule.\u003c/strong> This is antithetical to what many parents of high school students and some students themselves think they should do to get into college. But does your teen really need to star in the school play, run for student council and be the starting quarterback for the high school football team? \"Pick one,\" says Carskadon.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Teach time management.\u003c/strong> If you don't have four hours straight to get homework done at night, break it up into chunks. \"If you have 45 minutes before your activity, go to the library and get one or two subjects out of the way,\" Clark suggests.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Before trying a drugstore sleep aid, talk to your doctor.\u003c/strong> The Mott survey suggests parents frequently turn to remedies like melatonin and over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol PM or NyQuil. But Clark encourages parents and teens to discuss these with a physician first.

As children grow into the middle and teen years, they are naturally inclined to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130594/\">go to bed later\u003c/a> and sleep later in the morning. But an early school start time doesn't allow it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If kids' body clocks are shifting later and the school is starting earlier, there's no time left to recover,\" Carskadon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and Clark have evidence-based tips for weary teens and their parents:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Put electronics away and out of reach.\u003c/strong> Research has long shown that screen time interferes with good sleep because \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/11/19/502610055/heavy-screen-time-rewires-young-brains-for-better-and-worse\">it's stimulating\u003c/a>, and those \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/03/568133027/encore-blue-light-and-sleep\">blue light filters\u003c/a>\" that minimize the most troublesome part of the spectrum won't help much if you're stressed out. So do whatever it takes to make sleep hours electronics-free. \"If I were an entrepreneur, my get-rich-quick scheme would be the family tech lockbox,\" says Carskadon. (There are already a few \u003ca href=\"http://www.distractagone.com/\">phone lockers\u003c/a> in the works or \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Mounted-Phone-Locker-Storage-Acrylic/dp/B0765C89CY\">on the market\u003c/a> that may do the trick.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Instill a regular bedtime routine.\u003c/strong> Try to turn the lights out at around the same time and wake up at the same time, even on weekends, because the evidence shows you can't really \"make up\" missed sleep \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/20/630792401/sleep-scientist-warns-against-walking-through-life-in-an-underslept-state\">on the weekends\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sleep masks are useful, but avoid long naps. \u003c/strong>Sleep masks can help create an environment conducive to sleep, says Carskadon, as can trying to prevent sleepy kids from taking long,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>late afternoon naps. A 20-minute nap \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/05/15/527952956/stressed-out-high-schoolers-advised-to-take-a-nap-pod\">might be refreshing\u003c/a>, but longer sleep sessions during the day can make it harder to get good rest at night. \"The kids who struggle most at night are the ones who will be falling asleep in school, going to the nurse's office, and pouring a bowl of Cheerios and falling asleep in them,\" Carskadon says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Limit caffeine — even more than you already do.\u003c/strong> After school, many teens grab a soda or an energy drink to power through the rest of the afternoon. But this just makes going to bed on time more difficult, which, in turn, makes the next day harder. The disruptions add up. In the Mott survey, 54 percent of parents had their teens limit caffeine in the evening, notes Clark, although she suggests cutting it back earlier in the day or even completely.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pull back on the crammed schedule.\u003c/strong> This is antithetical to what many parents of high school students and some students themselves think they should do to get into college. But does your teen really need to star in the school play, run for student council and be the starting quarterback for the high school football team? \"Pick one,\" says Carskadon.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Teach time management.\u003c/strong> If you don't have four hours straight to get homework done at night, break it up into chunks. \"If you have 45 minutes before your activity, go to the library and get one or two subjects out of the way,\" Clark suggests.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Before trying a drugstore sleep aid, talk to your doctor.\u003c/strong> The Mott survey suggests parents frequently turn to remedies like melatonin and over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol PM or NyQuil. But Clark encourages parents and teens to discuss these with a physician first. Melatonin isn't always gentle or effective, and scientists still \u003ca href=\"https://nccih.nih.gov/health/melatonin\">don't know much\u003c/a> about its long-term effects, according to the National Institutes of Health.

So does Ostrin use Night Shift?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes I do,\" she tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a filtering app, cellphones and tablets expose users to an alarming amount of blue light, she says, \"Especially as people are lying in bed and have their screens just a few inches from their face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all that blue light prevents special photoreceptor cells in the eye from triggering the release of a sleep hormone, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Normally when the sun goes down and the lights turn off, our body releases melatonin, which helps us get a nice restful sleep,\" Ostrin says. \"But when we have all this artificial light on, it's tricking those photoreceptors into thinking it's still daytime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostrin was part of a team that showed this in a \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/opo.12385/full\">study\u003c/a> published this summer in the journal \u003cem>Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, 21 people put on special glasses after sunset each day to filter out blue light. \"So essentially we blocked the input to those photoreceptors that tell our body it's still daytime,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two weeks, the participants' melatonin levels had increased by 58 percent. And they reported better sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apps that filter the light from device screens are less effective than blue-blocking glasses, Ostrin says, but still can help. \"I highly recommend them,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get a different perspective, I call \u003ca href=\"http://www.smu.edu/Dedman/Academics/Departments/Chemistry/ChemistryFacultyandStaff/BrianZoltowski\">Brian Zoltowski\u003c/a> at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Ostrin, Zoltowski studies blue light and sleep.

And he wasn't sure he was sleeping any better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I'm looking at an orange screen watching a video realizing I'm also drinking a cup of coffee,\" Zoltowski says. \"And it started to make me wonder then why I'm actually trying to decrease the amount of blue light when the caffeine that I'm drinking in my cup of coffee is probably having a larger effect on my sleep quality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also realized he just didn't like looking at all those orange screens. So he turned off Night Shift and all the other blue light filters on his devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm willing to take the blue light exposure for the improved quality of the images,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zoltowski says people need to remember that devices are just one source of blue light. Others include indoor lighting, streetlights and car headlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he says a filtering app may not be worth it, especially if you're already getting a good night's sleep, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But if you suffer from sleep problems and you've tried other things like eliminating caffeine later in the day,\" he says, \"this is something you can add to your repertoire to promote a healthful sleeping environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're serious about getting better sleep, though, you might want to avoid screens entirely near bedtime, Zoltowski says. \"Try to wind down, shut down your devices, dim the lights, relax and maybe read a book the old fashioned way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/112/4/1232.abstract\">study\u003c/a> found that people took longer to fall asleep when they read from a light-emitting e-book than when they read from a printed book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

And every iPhone comes with an app called Night Shift that lets you filter out blue light. So does Ostrin use Night Shift?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes I do,\" she tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a filtering app, cellphones and tablets expose users to an alarming amount of blue light, she says, \"Especially as people are lying in bed and have their screens just a few inches from their face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all that blue light prevents special photoreceptor cells in the eye from triggering the release of a sleep hormone, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Normally when the sun goes down and the lights turn off, our body releases melatonin, which helps us get a nice restful sleep,\" Ostrin says. \"But when we have all this artificial light on, it's tricking those photoreceptors into thinking it's still daytime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostrin was part of a team that showed this in a \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/opo.12385/full\">study\u003c/a> published this summer in the journal \u003cem>Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, 21 people put on special glasses after sunset each day to filter out blue light. \"So essentially we blocked the input to those photoreceptors that tell our body it's still daytime,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two weeks, the participants' melatonin levels had increased by 58 percent. And they reported better sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apps that filter the light from device screens are less effective than blue-blocking glasses, Ostrin says, but still can help. \"I highly recommend them,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get a different perspective, I call \u003ca href=\"http://www.smu.edu/Dedman/Academics/Departments/Chemistry/ChemistryFacultyandStaff/BrianZoltowski\">Brian Zoltowski\u003c/a> at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Ostrin, Zoltowski studies blue light and sleep. And he also owns an iPhone. But \"I am not a Night Shift user currently,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zoltowski used to use the app. He also found ways to reduce the blue light coming from all of his other screens during the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The downside was that everything he saw in the evening was some shade of orange. And he wasn't sure he was sleeping any better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I'm looking at an orange screen watching a video realizing I'm also drinking a cup of coffee,\" Zoltowski says. \"And it started to make me wonder then why I'm actually trying to decrease the amount of blue light when the caffeine that I'm drinking in my cup of coffee is probably having a larger effect on my sleep quality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also realized he just didn't like looking at all those orange screens. So he turned off Night Shift and all the other blue light filters on his devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm willing to take the blue light exposure for the improved quality of the images,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zoltowski says people need to remember that devices are just one source of blue light. Others include indoor lighting, streetlights and car headlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he says a filtering app may not be worth it, especially if you're already getting a good night's sleep, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But if you suffer from sleep problems and you've tried other things like eliminating caffeine later in the day,\" he says, \"this is something you can add to your repertoire to promote a healthful sleeping environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're serious about getting better sleep, though, you might want to avoid screens entirely near bedtime, Zoltowski says. \"Try to wind down, shut down your devices, dim the lights, relax and maybe read a book the old fashioned way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/112/4/1232.abstract\">study\u003c/a> found that people took longer to fall asleep when they read from a light-emitting e-book than when they read from a printed book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

That narrows your airway and, as you're breathing in, it causes it to vibrate,\" explains Hutchison. So, many anti-snoring products are aimed at opening up that airway, or the tunnels that lead to it. For example, you can buy hollow nose plugs that, instead of closing the nostrils, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=snoring%20nose%20plugs\">prop them open\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you have a deviated septum or something like that, those could help open up your nose and decrease snoring,\" says Hutchison, but they won't help everyone because \"most snoring appears in the back of your throat.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other devices are designed to force sleepers to turn on their sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Snoring that routinely disturbs your partner could be a sign you should see a doctor.' \u003ccite>Dr. Richard Schwab, director the Pennsylvania Sleep Center.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Sleeping on your back makes your tongue block your airway a little, sort of like the skinny part of a balloon, when you let air out of it,\" Hutchison says.

Eventually, some people do stop sleeping on their backs, to avoid being jabbed to consciousness. If that's not annoying enough, there are more insistent devices: wristbands that send a little electric shock every time you snore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seems drastic.

People lose so much sleep, they can't sleep in the same beds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And snoring that routinely disturbs your partner could be a sign you should see a doctor, says Schwab. You might have sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by loud snoring and interrupted breathing.

Dozens of anti-snoring devices crowd the market, ranging from slightly absurd to moderately torturous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of them are more medieval than others,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohsu.edu/xd/health/services/providers/index.cfm?personID=2276\">Dr. Kim Hutchison\u003c/a>, associate professor of sleep medicine in the department of neurology at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Ore. And some of the devices, she says, even have some basis in fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you sleep, the back of your throat relaxes. That narrows your airway and, as you're breathing in, it causes it to vibrate,\" explains Hutchison. So, many anti-snoring products are aimed at opening up that airway, or the tunnels that lead to it. For example, you can buy hollow nose plugs that, instead of closing the nostrils, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=snoring%20nose%20plugs\">prop them open\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you have a deviated septum or something like that, those could help open up your nose and decrease snoring,\" says Hutchison, but they won't help everyone because \"most snoring appears in the back of your throat.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other devices are designed to force sleepers to turn on their sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Snoring that routinely disturbs your partner could be a sign you should see a doctor.' \u003ccite>Dr. Richard Schwab, director the Pennsylvania Sleep Center.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Sleeping on your back makes your tongue block your airway a little, sort of like the skinny part of a balloon, when you let air out of it,\" Hutchison says. So some devices combine straps and pillows that make sleeping on your back uncomfortable — or poke you if you roll over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/EasySleep-Pro-Large-Adjustable-Snoring/dp/B01LZGEQI0/ref=sr_1_36?ie=UTF8&qid=1482802784&sr=8-36-spons&keywords=snoring+remedies&psc=1\">chin straps\u003c/a> aimed at repositioning your jaw in a way that opens the airway. They might work for some, says \u003ca href=\"https://www.pennmedicine.org/providers/profile/richard-schwab\">Dr. Richard Schwab\u003c/a>, director the Pennsylvania Sleep Center. But one chinstrap on the market \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Snoring-Simply-Sleep-Plugs-Womans/dp/B01LZAOXLI/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&keywords=snoring%2Bdevice&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&qid=1482443320&ref_=mp_s_a_1_66&sr=8-66&th=1\">covers the wearer's entire mouth\u003c/a>. \"A terrible idea!\" says Schwab. \"You should never cover your mouth — you could choke.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Devices that gently poke and prod might help some snorers, says Hutchison. Eventually, some people do stop sleeping on their backs, to avoid being jabbed to consciousness. If that's not annoying enough, there are more insistent devices: wristbands that send a little electric shock every time you snore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seems drastic. But maybe not, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2644899/\">if love is on the line\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Snoring can create a lot of stress in a relationship,\" Schwab points out. \"It's an intermittent noise, so you can't just get over it. People lose so much sleep, they can't sleep in the same beds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And snoring that routinely disturbs your partner could be a sign you should see a doctor, says Schwab. You might have sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by loud snoring and interrupted breathing.
