Description: Some of the biggest challenges facing kids today have less to do with motivation and more to do with biology. Sleep scientist Dr. Joseph Dzierzewski from the National Sleep Foundation explains why nearly half of American children aren't getting the sleep they need, why teenagers are being asked to learn at the worst possible time of day, and how a lack of sleep affects everything from mood and learning to mental health and even car accidents. Ginny and Dr. Dzierzewski also dive into daylight saving time, homeschooling, outdoor light, screen habits, and the connection between getting outside and better sleep.
