There is a great deal of emphasis on teaching teens about healthy eating and exercise but not enough on the importance of a good night’s sleep.  Sleep problems can be a very serious issue and lack of sleep has been linked to obesity, depression and impaired learning.

If you’re having trouble getting your teenager out of bed in a morning, then there are several practical hints and tips that may help. Talking over worries may well help to put them into perspective.

Parents & Carers - Teen Sleep Hub

Here is a little information to help you understand your teens sleep and how you can help.

• Emphasise the importance of sleep and that it improves memory and performance. Teens need at least eight hours’ sleep on school nights.
• Encourage regular exercise – 20 minutes three times a week will help.
• Suggest they drink less caffeine (in cola and energy drinks as well as tea and coffee). Too much caffeine stops them falling asleep and prevents deep sleep.
• Point out that eating too much or too little close to bedtime – an over full or empty stomach – may prevent sleep onset, or cause discomfort throughout the night.
• Try and get your teen into a good bed routine – suggest that doing the same things in the same order before going to sleep can help.
• Eliminate electronic devices from the bedroom. If this isn’t possible, try to zone areas of the room for work, leisure and sleep.
• Ensure a good sleep environment – a room that is dark, cool, quiet, safe and comfortable.
• Make sure your teenager has a comfortable bed. It may be time to get a new one – and encourage him or her to choose it themselves.

Remember, habits learnt in adolescence often become lifetime habits – so make sure good sleep habits are learnt early.

• Ask for help if you need it
• Don’t struggle alone
• Take time for yourself
• Don’t blame yourself
• You’re doing everything you can
• Speak to your GP if you’re struggling to cope 

Parents' Guide to Looking After Your Mental Health | YoungMinds

Worrying or difficult behaviour might be short-lived, so give it some time. All children go through stages of feeling anxious or angry and they can show this in lots of ways - for example, tantrums, crying, sleeping problems or fighting with friends or siblings. They might be adapting to a change in the family or in their school life, or just trying out new emotions, and will generally grow out of worrying behaviour on their own or with family support.

Even young children can understand about feelings and behaviour if you give them a chance to talk about it. Take it gently and give them examples of what you mean. For example:

"When you said you hated Molly, you looked really angry. What was making you so cross?"

Or:

"What you can't get to sleep, is there anything in your mind making you worried?"

With older children, they might not want to talk at first. Let them know you are concerned about them, and are there if they need you. Sending an email or a text can work better if this is the way your child likes to communicate.

Ask your child what they think would help - they often have good ideas about solving their own problems.

If you can, talk to your child's other parent about your worries when your child is not around. They might have a different take on what's going on.

Try and sort out how to deal with the behaviour together so you are using the same approach and can back each other up. Children are quick to spot if parents disagree, and can try and use this to get their own way.

A Hate Crime is any criminal offence that is motivated by hostility and prejudice towards a person’s identity or perceived identity. The following are the five nationally monitored strands:

• Disability
• Race
• Religion/Faith
• Sexual Orientation
• Transgender Identity

About Hate Crime - Stop Hate UK

• A Hate incident is any incident that the person affected or anyone else believes is based on a person’s identity. 
• Not all Hate incidents will lead to criminal offences though. One-off incidents such as malicious complaints about parking or abusive gestures may fall short of being a criminal act but if they are repeated, they can become crimes.

Any criminal offence can be a Hate Crime if it was carried out because of hostility or prejudice based on disability, race, religion, transgender identity, or sexual orientation:

• physical assault
• verbal abuse
• criminal damage to property or possession
• harassment
• sexual assault
• theft
• fraud
• hate mail (Malicious Communications Act 1988)
• causing harassment, alarm, or distress (Public Order Act 1986).
• online abuse for example on Facebook or Twitter
• displaying or circulating discriminatory literature or posters
• graffiti

• Blood shot eyes
• Dazed/dreamy demeanour
• Short term memory loss
• Faint/feeling sick
• The giggles
• The munchies
• Dry mouth
• Paranoia
• Anxiety

• Schizophrenia = delusions and hallucinations.
• Delusions = believing things that are not true
• Hallucinations = seeing things that are not really there
• Risk of schizophrenia is increased if you use cannabis from a young age, frequent use, stronger.
• Cannabis i.e. skunk, and family history of schizophrenia.
