(firmenpresse) - ARCADIA, WI -- (Marketwired) -- 09/03/13 -- As kids transition from summer vacations, picnics and barbecues, to homework, sports and after-school activities, they're faced with plenty of new challenges to conquer ... one of which may be lack of sleep.
While it varies from child to child, experts say school-aged children need between 10 and 12 hours of sleep per night, depending on their age. But research suggests that more than 2/3 of children suffer from some kind of sleep issue, which can lead to drowsiness, obesity, inability to focus, substandard academic performance, irritability, low self-esteem and more.
"Back-to-school time can be an exciting time for kids," says Brenda Dillon, VP of Merchandising. "Unfortunately, with earlier mornings and piles of homework, as well as new activities and social demands, it can also lead to less down time and more disruptions to their sleep. But just a few simple changes to their bedroom environment can help give them the sleep they need to face the day, refreshed and ready to go."
