Snacking on protein can improve appetite control, diet quality in teens

Association between teen sleep patterns, alcohol or marijuana use

Studying adolescents in Southern California, researchers found that the link between sleep and alcohol/marijuana use was consistent even after controlling for other known risk factors, such as depression.

In addition, teens who reported significant trouble sleeping were 55 percent more likely to have used alcohol in the past month.
