RADCLIFFE RESOURCES
BENEFITS OF SLEEP FOR STUDENTS - Part 1
It is so important to our bodies and minds. It is especially important for our kids and their performance academically and behaviorally in school. It can be especially tricky this time of year as the sun is out later in the evening. I know my kids say to me, “It’s not time for bed, the sun’s still out.” However, I know they still need to go to bed at a good time to get proper rest. Below is an excerpt from an article by the National Sleep Foundation and the recommendations for sleep by age.
“Across all ages, signs of sleepiness turn up as behavioral and learning difficulties. Children who seem excessively sleepy during the day are more likely to experience problems with learning, attention, hyperactivity, and conduct than kids who aren't sleepy. Sleepiness causes problems with concentration and mood, and can even make it hard for students to stay awake in class.
In many cases, staying up too late is the culprit. In one experiment, children were asked to go to bed later than normal for a week, and then were asked to spend no fewer than 10 hours in bed for another week. During the week of later bedtimes, teachers rated these kids as having more academic problems and more attention problems (even though the teachers didn't know they had lost sleep). Many parents think their children go to bed early, but even
9:00 p.m. could be considered a late bedtime for an elementary school child.”
