Eps 650: Teen Sleep Help with Dr. Melisa Moore

Teen sleep struggles are real — and they're not about laziness or bad parenting. In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and sleep medicine specialist Dr. Melissa Moore to unpack why adolescent sleep is so hard and what parents can actually do about it. We explore the circadian shift of adolescence, neurodivergent sleep challenges, and how to have conversations that build cooperation instead of conflict. If your teen's sleep schedule is driving you crazy, this one's for you. Dr. Melissa Moore is a clinical psychologist board certified in behavioral sleep medicine. She works at the Sleep Center at Rady Children's Health in San Diego and maintains a private practice serving children, teens, and young adults across the country, specializing in sleep, mood, and neurodiversity. She is the author of The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
