Module 1: Why Sleep is a Battle Worth Fighting For

Why do teens resist sleep—even when they’re exhausted? In this opening module, we unpack what’s really behind the late nights, the pushback, and the power struggles. You’ll learn what’s happening in their brains, why connection matters more than control, and how to start better sleep conversations—without turning it into a fight.
