Parents often complain that teenagers sleep too much but many studies show that teenagers don’t, in fact, get enough sleep.

As adolescents develop, their bodies are undergoing rapid changes meaning that quality sleep is vital for healthy development. Advice from the NHS urges parents of teenagers to ‘Ensure they have a good sleeping environment – ideally a room that is dark, cool, quiet, safe and comfortable. It might be worth investing in thicker curtains or a blackout blind to help insulate against the light of summertime early mornings (and late evenings)’ The award winning BlocOut™ black out system allows you to achieve unrivaled levels of darkness in the bedroom ensuring your teenager has the best chance possible of a good night's rest.
