      Advice for teens with sleep problems based on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. In 10 chapters, a sleep expert provides a menu of options for teenagers to use to first identify their specific problems and then create, test, and modify their own sleep solutions. The first chapter introduces the key sleep tracker tool, because without accurate data it is impossible to craft appropriate behavioral changes. The tracker, which is available online or through the free companion app, captures eight vital data points, including what time you get into bed and what time you wake up. Other chapters focus on understanding and using one's body clock, winding down before bed, coping with anxiety that fuels sleeplessness, handling daytime sleepiness, developing strategies for getting out of bed in the morning and having more energy during the day, understanding substances that interfere with good sleep, thought patterns that promote good sleep, and revising plans as warranted. The tone is reassuring and empowering, giving readers many options for self-treatment while also making clear when professional help should be sought. The prose is easy to understand. Case studies, bulleted chapter summaries, and simple to-do lists add value. Unfortunately, worksheets and resources are not printed in the book. Sleep is key to good health; this comprehensive resource helps teens take control of their sleep problems. (Nonfiction. 12-18)
