National Sleep Awareness Week March 8 – 14
How to Get the Zzzs You Need!
The National Sleep Foundation hosts Sleep Awareness Week on March 8 -14, celebrating sleep health and encouraging everyone to get more sleep to improve their health. Toddlers need 11 to 14 hours; preteens and teens require 8 to 10 hours. Here are some ways you can help your kids sneak in those extra zzz’s:
CREATE REGULAR BEDTIME ROUTINES — For better sleep habits — especially for little heads to hit the pillow at an ideal hour. Going to bed too late actually makes it harder for kids to fall asleep.
HEAD OUTSIDE — Burning off steam during the day really helps to create better sleep at night.
LIGHTEN THE ATMOSPHERE — Soft music and lighting, a comfortable temperature and satisfied bellies all set the scene for better rest.
DEVICES, OFF! — Turn off devices at least an hour before bed; the blue light found in iPads, computers and TVs can keep you awake.
