Most Kids Not Sleeping Enough: How to Help
- Updated: January 27, 2015
(StatePoint) While parents understand the value of good sleep, a majority find it difficult to ensure their kids get enough quality sleep each night, according to a recent survey of parents across the country.
From using electronic devices in bed to a lack of bedroom routines, there are plenty of reasons kids are not getting enough sleep. But high-quality sleep is important, reports the same sleep survey, conducted by Sleep Number, with the majority of parents saying that sleep impacts their child’s performance in school and in extracurricular activities.
Luckily, new tools are helping kids rest easier at night. For example, Sleep Number just introduced SleepIQ Kids — a smart bed for kids. You can adjust the bed’s firmness as children grow and monitor their presence in bed, restfulness and restlessness to assess quality of sleep.
With these new sleep tools, parents can help kids be their best tomorrow.
