Screens & Sleep: Protecting the Foundation

50% of teen girls say social media hurts their sleep. This course fixes that.

The four ways screens steal your child's sleep. Build a 5-pillar evening routine the family can actually live with.

Sleep is not a luxury — it is the biological foundation on which everything else rests. Memory consolidation, emotional regulation, immune function, growth, academic performance, and mental health all depend on adequate, quality sleep. Yet screens — and the social media platforms on them — are systematically dismantling children's sleep in ways most parents don't fully understand. This beginner-level course gives you the science, the strategy, and the step-by-step implementation plan to protect your family's sleep — starting tonight.
