    Teenagers can sleep better by avoiding screens for two hours before bed, getting morning sunlight for 15-30 minutes after waking, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule within an hour of the same time each night. They should also avoid afternoon naps, limit caffeine, not procrastinate on big tasks, and realize sleep may not come instantly. Keeping a consistent pre-bed routine and sleep environment can help teenagers unwind and combat stress or anxiety that may disrupt their sleep.
