A Perfect Storm: Managing Sleep Issues and Promoting Sleep Health in Detained Youth
All adolescents experience developmental changes that affect their sleep regulation. Add to those normal changes environmental factors specific to the carceral setting, co-occurring risk factors for sleep problems in this population (mental health issues, substance use, etc.), and the potential link between poor sleep and risk behaviors, and you have a perfect storm of sleep problems. Medication is not always the answer. Learn recommendations for managing sleep concerns in detained youth that go beyond sleep medications to include behavioral, environmental, and scheduling approaches.
Learning Objectives
-Describe factors contributing to sleep health difficulties in youth who are detained
-Explain the consequences of poor sleep that may contribute to risk behaviors in youth
-Summarize recommendations regarding behavioral and environmental interventions and medication management for improving sleep in detained youth
