Making Everyday COUNT
Is your child getting the recommended hours of sleep?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……
How many hours of sleep are enough?
According to sleep expert Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler, M.D. of Mayo Sleep Clinic, children 3-5 years should have 10-13 hours of quality sleep per 24 hours, and children 6-12 years, 9-12 hours per 24 hours. Depending on your child’s morning wake up schedule, a practical bedtime for most elementary age school children is about 8 p.m.
“For kids, getting the recommended amount of sleep on a regular basis is linked with better health, including improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, the ability to control emotions, quality of life, and mental and physical health.”
Eric J. Olson, M.D. Mayo Clinic
As always, a nutritious and healthy diet, plenty of water and low-sugar beverages for hydration, frequent hand washing to help prevent illness, and the recommended hours of sleep will help your child be their very best for a great school day at LES, where everyday COUNTS!
