Did you know that for children to grow properly and perform well in school, they need
10 hours of sleep each night?
Now is the time to make sure you start going to bed early enough, so your body can fall asleep, rise on time, and feel well-rested for FCAT next week.
Other things can also affect sleep quality:
- Stop consuming caffeine after lunch. Remember, most sodas, some teas, and chocolate contain caffeine, which can make it more difficult to fall asleep.
- Eat dinner at least three hours before bedtime (digestion keeps your body awake). What time do you need to finish eating?
- Turn off all electronic screens (phone, computer, tablet, TV) two hours before bedtime. What time do you need to shut down your electronics?
What time do
you wake up? Count back ten hours. This is what time you need to be
asleep. If you like to read before bedtime, plan on getting in bed a little earlier, so you can get a full ten hours of sleep.
