Teen Sleep Tips: Help School Performance and Overall Mood
Teens aren't always easy to be around - especially tired teens! For this age group, in particular, quality sleep is vital. Help your teen get the sleep they need by following the tips below and visiting your mattress pros at Fosters Mattress. We'll help you and your teen find the right fit to provide a good foundation for better learning with every night's sleep.
- Has your Teen Outgrown their Bed? Make sure your teen is not sleeping in a bed that they have outgrown. It may be sad to see your child outgrow the bed they slept in as toddlers, but it's not doing them any favors when it comes to sleep quality. So say goodbye to the race car bed. Purchasing a bed that fits your teen is a great step toward ensuring that they are getting quality sleep.
- Have You Assessed Mattress Quality? Many teens sleep on hand-me-down mattresses. While things like bicycles, ball gloves, and denim jeans all serve as excellent examples of secondhand items, your teen's mattress isn't likely to be one of them. These mattresses may be worn to a point that they are no longer good mattresses. A quality mattress is essential to quality sleep. An investment in a good mattress for your teen is an investment in them, their sleep, their health, and their productivity.
- How Do Electronics Effect Sleep? Teens are notorious for being on their cellphones and other electronics. Using electronics too close to bedtime can result in poor sleep quality. Additionally, keeping a cellphone by the bed to charge or use as an alarm clock can result in sleep distractions and interruptions. Have your teens turn off their cellphones and other electronics or leave them in another room, and they'll improve the quality of their sleep.
