Sleep

"...reduced sleep leads to reduced capacity to do well in school...kids running low on sleep are less able to concentrate, more easily distracted, and more hyperactive or impulsive. And kids of all ages have a harder time learning when they don't get enough sleep, from fussy, overtired infants to high schoolers nodding off in class."

                                                                              -Ken Shuster, PsyD

"We need to focus as much on the sleeping half of children's lives as we do the waking half."
