Episode description

Discover the REAL reason why your teen may be so sleepy…

Sleepy teens are one of the most ignored groups by the sleep medicine community. Teens are not bigger children, nor are they smaller adults. This is why teenagers’ sleep problems often remain hidden, until later on, it develops into a serious sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea. To help you understand why your teen is so tired and what you can do to help them overcome their fatigue, I’ve invited back Stanford’s Dr. Kasey Li, a pioneer in the treatment of sleep breathing disorders to talk to us about this very important issue. In this hour long, jam packed session Dr. Li will reveal:
  • #1 reason why parents should never ignore your teenager’s sleepiness (their packed schedule has nothing to do with it!)
  • Why many tonsillectomies don’t work unless you do “THIS” first
  • How parents can inadvertently pass on their “sleepy gene” to their teens and what you can do avoid doing so
  • Which treatment options work and which fail and how you can help your child to get the right treatment
