Keep Kids on a Normal Sleep Schedule During the Holidays

(Undated) – The “holiday break” is just around the corner and health experts say keeping track of your child’s sleep schedule is important, especially during the “holiday break.” A recent survey found that 30% of elementary school children and well over 50% of both middle and high school students don’t get the recommended nightly allowance of sleep thanks to later nights and increased “screen time.” Experts recommend maintaining a consistent bedtime routine whenever possible, limiting screen time before bed, and avoiding late-night snacks to ensure they still get enough quality sleep.
