Habits
for Back
to School

are summertime rituals for most
kids. But summer sleep habits can
leavechildren sleep-deprived and
unfocused at the start of the
school year.

children get at least nine hours of
sleep per night. Parents should
consider establishing school-
year bedtime routines two weeks
prior to the start of school.
Creating a bedtime routine and
encouraging quiet time and relax­
ing activities will allow fordown­
time and sufficient sleep time.
