Saturday Sleep Tip: Put Your Kids to Bed!

Please make sure your children are getting enough sleep. As kids get older their sleep signs are not as obvious and they can be easily distracted into an activity so you may not notice their tiredness. We are also tired and done at the end of the day and may ignore sleep signs or not want to deal with the struggle to put them to bed at the appropriate time.

Signs that your child is not going to bed early enough and/or not getting the sleep they need daily:

• Tired in the morning
• Cranky, misbehaving, emotional
• Waking up too early (this is ironically often caused by not getting enough sleep)

Please for your child's sake and your own make sure they receive the needed amount of sleep (NOTE: some kids may need more than suggested) and not accumulate sleep debt.
