Ok, one more word about sleep...

Another study I found this month proved that missing one hour of sleep makes kids perform 2 YEARS behind grade level.

We have got to turn off the machines... they're not making us smarter! Get them to bed by 9.

Have a great weekend!

GO TO BED!!!

I'm still railing about sleep.  Look at the things we can blame on TOO LITTLE SLEEP:

-Obesity:  that's right.  Kids who get less than 8 hours have a 300% higher obesity rate.

-Memory problems: Deep sleep is what it takes to move "new knowledge" to the "storage" area of the brain so it can be recalled later.

Just getting ONE HOUR LESS nightly that what they should causes kids to perform at levels 2 years behind that of peers who get the full amount of sleep.  

GO TO BED!! NOW!!! Before it's too late!
