Bedding - Teen Trouble
Bedding may not be on the top of every teen's wish list. More likely an iPod, computer gadget or the latest fashions. But bedding may well be the most important present you could give them. Comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets, or even indulgent satin, cool bedding accessories and funky cushions, colourful throws or inviting blankets - any bedding that lures your teenager to bed at a decent hour in fact is an investment wisely made. Why? Because research suggests that sleep deprived teenagers are more at risk to depression and behavioural problems.
Bedding to Lure Teens
And when it comes to teenagers, behavioural issues are always on the top of the list. Whether it's getting them to actually go to bed at a decent hour, or being unable to get them out of bed at a decent hour. Letting teenagers design their own bedrooms, choose the colour they want on the walls, pick their own bedding and letting them be in control of their rooms is one way of ensuring they take ownership of their bedrooms. Try and ensure you keep the amount of electronic gadgets to a minimum - TVs, mobiles, computers, DVDs all stimulate the brain, keeping teens awake into the early hours. Bedrooms (if you can help it) should be about cosy bedding, relaxing vibes and dimmed lighting.
Bedding to Beat the Blues
Bedding could be more crucial to your teenager's well being than you may have thought. And as sleep is so important, it's important to make sure your teenager likes their bedding and bedroom, seeing it as the relaxing sanctuary it should be. More teenagers than ever have huge pressures placed on them - from school and studying to social life and sports. After homework, chatting with friends and relaxing, bedtime can typically be 11.30 or midnight. Whereas bedrooms used to be just about a wardrobe, bed, bedding and bedding accessories, now some teens treat their rooms as a place where they chat online, play computer games and watch the latest movies.
Comfortable Bedding - Fighting Behavioural Problems
The impact of teenagers not getting the recommended nine hours sleep (the average teenager gets seven) experts say is contributing to a rise in depression and behavioural problems, as well as impacting on performance at school and even raising blood pressure. Teenagers require an hour or two more sleep than ten year old children, so it's important to invest in quality bedding to encourage sleep. Quality and quantity of sleep are important to help your teenager live a healthy life. Encouraging them to keep regular hours and ensuring their bedrooms are calm, stimulant-free places, with low lighting and comfortable bedding should help. Keep them away from caffeine-laced fizzy drinks and chocolate. Make sure the bed has comfortable bedding and is just used for sleep - not for laptops or watching TV from.
