Kids need the right amount of sleep in order to learn.

Research is showing that sleep is far more important than we ever realized.
When we are asleep, our brains are actively working, helping us develop motor tasks, deepening memory and learning, and much more.
Anyone who is a parent knows how hard it can be to get kids to sleep.
They thought that sleep just doesn’t seem that important, hence, the
frequent resistance to climbing into bed.
The bad news is that millions school age children are suffering from
inadequate sleep.
Studies also show these children
- perform less well in tests,
- have less
recall and responsiveness,
- have more depressive feelings,
- perform less well in
coordination and motor activities.

Kids need a good night's sleep to learn.
It’s a parent’s job to make sure they get it.
The first step may be in properly understanding sleep, learn about the four levels of sleep and
how sleep keeps us healthy and happy.
