A new school year often means a return to early mornings, busy schedules and more to do each day.

And one of the best ways to help kids and teens start the school year strong is by making sure they’re getting enough sleep.

Good sleep does much more than prevent morning grumpiness.

It helps children pay attention in class, learn new information, manage their emotions and stay healthier.

Whether your child has always been an early riser or struggles to get out of bed, these healthy sleep habits can make school mornings much easier.
