The Power of Sleep for Student Resilience, Health, and Well-Being

Well-rested kids are happier and healthier and do better in school. They're more emotionally resilient. And they're easier to live with!

In The Sleep-Deprived Teen, journalist and sleep expert Lisa L. Lewis will provide parents with the roadmap to more (and better) sleep for their children and adolescents – and perhaps even for themselves.

In this event, Lewis synthesizes the research to provide parents with actionable information and strategies, including:

• The science of why sleep matters and how it changes during the adolescent years

• How sleep fits into child/adolescent development, and how sleep changes during the adolescent years
• Why sleep is essential for mental health, academic performance, athletic performance and more
• How parents can work with their kids to establish good sleep habits and minimize tensions around the topic

Lisa L. Lewis, MS, is a journalist and author who covers the intersection of parenting, public health, and education. She holds a master’s degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and an MFA from Mills College.

Parents/caregivers, students, educators, and community members welcome! Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission.
