Turn On Lights in Teen's Room Before Wake Time

Turn on the lights in a teen’s room before they wake up to help them fall asleep earlier the next night and get about 45 minutes more deep sleep and more total sleep. Some parents also use a flashlight through closed eyelids before wake time to mimic this effect, though this was not part of the standard study.

There are data from Dr. Jamie Zeitzer, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and others at Stanford showing that turning on the lights in the room of a teen before they wake up, helps them get more sleep the subsequent night.
