Sleep has been proven to be vital in helping kids succeed in school. Getting enough sleep is important for health, focus, and energy.
Doctors recommend that children ages 3 to 6 need about 10-12 hours of sleep each night. And 7 to 12 year olds do best with 10-11 hours. Why? Not getting enough shut-eye can lead to weight gain, as well as taking a toll on their physical, emotional, and social health.
Use this handy chart to help you decide what time your child should be going to bed to get the ideal amount of sleep. Obviously, some kids may need more or less sleep-this chart is meant as a guide using the recommended sleep amounts by age.
