Too many kids are experiencing emotional problems. These problems are often linked to the lack of sleep. When our bodies rest, so do our brains. Children and teens need more sleep than adults so they can grow and process all those raging hormones. It’s ok to be a parent and keep the phones and televisions off limits after 9pm. Their brains need a break from the blue light these emit in order to make melatonin, which helps the body sleep effectively. Unlike us, they also need 8-10 hours of sleep a night. Lacking in sleep causes irritability, anxiety, and mood disorders. So get those kids to sleep – you’re not just doing them a favor – your helping yourself too.
