1. Sleep is Essential: 

1. • Studies show that middle schoolers need 9-12 hours of sleep  every night.

2. Put Away Electronics

   • Parent should remove cellphones and electronic devices from bedrooms by 7:00 p.m.  

   • This allows students to create a natural circadian rhythm and avoid unhealthy cellphone behaviors. 

3. Healthy Habits 

   • A balanced diet positively impacts learning. Adding some spinach to a morning smoothie or eating that apple at lunch is a good start.  Check out these videos below,  especially the one on broccoli!
