Make Sure Your Kids are Getting Enough Sleep

(Undated) – Health experts say keeping track of your child’s sleep schedule is important, especially during the “holiday break.” A recent survey found that 30% of elementary school children and well over 50% of both middle and high school students don’t get the recommended nightly allowance of sleep thanks to later nights and increased “screen time.” Experts say it’s important to maintain a consistent bedtime routine as much as possible, limit screen time before bed, and avoid late-night snacks to ensure they still get enough quality sleep.
