Arianna Huffington and Dr. Koplewicz on Sleep, Teens and Mental Health
Recently, Child Mind Institute president Harold Koplewicz, MD, sat down with Arianna Huffington to discuss her new book, The Sleep Revolution. The Huffington Post founder has many subjects in her wide-ranging investigation — from her own personal struggles with burnout to equating success with being connected 24/7 and our society’s perverse acceptance of sleep deprivation in the face of scientific evidence. In this conversation, Dr. Koplewicz puts the focus on our children and what we are (or aren’t!) teaching them about the importance of good sleep hygiene, how sleep and mental health are inextricably linked, and what parents can do to raise healthy, productive and well-rested kids.
