Accomplished Public Speaker

 

Teens don't get enough sleep, and it's not because of Snapchat, social lives or hormones -- it's because of public policy, says Wendy Troxel. Drawing from her experience as a sleep researcher, clinician and mother of a teenager, Troxel discusses how early school start times deprive adolescents of sleep during the time of their lives when they need it most.

"Is it bad if my partner and I sleep apart?" is a question frequently asked of Sleep Scientist Wendy Troxel. Wendy shares the science behind the health of sleeping with a partner or not, and provides insights about how to navigate these choices in our relationships.
