Rocky Mountain Sleep Disorders Center
and the
National Sleep Foundation
Offer Healthy Sleep Tips
for Parents and Children. 

The sleep habits children develop early in their lives may remain with them through their adult years. But parents don’t always know how much sleep their child needs, nor do they always recognize sleep problems, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) and Rocky Mountain Sleep Disorders Center.

Watching one more television program, searching the Internet, or working are just a few activities we engage in late at night or in the wee hours of the morning when we should be sleeping. As we prepare to lose yet another hour of sleep Sunday morning (April 4), when we adjust our clocks for Daylight Saving Time, the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) and Rocky Mountain Sleep Disorders Center remind us that choosing sleep over other activities is a healthy choice!
