How Much Sleep Do Kids Need?
The Sleep Foundation recommends 9-12 hours per sleep in a 24-hour period for school-aged children ages 6 thru 12. After school activities, homework, and family life can be challenging to keeping good bedtime routines.
What Are The Risks of Lack Of Sleep In Children?
Children’s bodies undergo rapid development. Studies have shown that a lack of sufficient sleep can lead to weight problems, mental health struggles, and cognitive problems that could contribute to schoolwork struggles.
What Are Some Things That Disrupt Children’s Sleep?
Many factors contribute to disrupted sleep in children. Some concerns, like chronic bed wetting, might need evaluation from a physician. Allergens in the sleep environment may trigger sniffles or complicate ongoing conditions such as asthma. A hot or stuffy room, a noisy environment, and typical childhood nightmares can keep a little one awake.
Where Should I Start To Help My Child Sleep Better?
Sometimes it’s simple things that can wake up a child at night or make it hard to go back to sleep. Evaluate your child’s bedroom by asking yourself these questions:
- Is there proper air circulation in the room, and is it cool enough?
- Are there any bright lights from electronics that may be distracting at night?
- Is it quiet enough? Is it too quiet? (A fan or noise machine may help)
- Are there too many stuffed animals or plush bedding that could contribute to dust mite allergies?
- How does their mattress feel to them both when they get in it and when they wake up in the morning?
- Is their mattress size large enough?
