A new AI-powered study of over 11,000 teens found that sleep problems are the strongest predictor of future mental health issues—even more than family history or childhood adversity. That’s a big deal. Teens ages 13–18 need 8–10 hours of sleep a night, yet so many are falling short—and paying the price in mood, focus, and emotional resilience. This research offers two major takeaways: 1️⃣ Sleep is a powerful early intervention 2️⃣ AI may help us predict risk and support teens sooner Let’s start by asking: Is your teen getting enough rest? It’s one of the simplest, most powerful steps we can take. #TeenMentalHealth #SleepMatters #ABCDStudy #AdolescentWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #AIandHealth #ParentingTeens
