Eps 334: Lisa Lewis Teens and Sleep
Episode 334
My guest today is Lisa L. Lewis.
Lisa Lewis is the author of The Sleep-Deprived Teen: Why Our Teenagers Are So Tired, And How Parents And Schools Can Help Them Thrive, described as “a call to action” by Arianna Huffington and “an urgent and timely read” by Daniel H. Pink.
The book is an outgrowth of her previous work on the topic, including her role helping get California’s landmark law on healthy school start times passed.
Lewis has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and others. She’s a parent to a teen and a recent teen and lives in California.

Casey O’Roarty is facilitating our Fall 6 week Parenting TEENS with Positive Discipline class, starting Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
This is where you really get to explore concepts like curiosity, encouragement, limit setting, while also maintaining relationship and respect. The class becomes the community that you didn’t know you needed on the wild ride of parenting through adolescence.
It is very interactive and engaging and there is time each week to bring your personal struggle to the group for support.
Community is everything!
