Why is it so important?

Research by the American Academy of Pediatrics says that kids who sleep the recommended # of hours have improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, emotional regulation, quality of life, and mental and physical health.

When kids are in bed early, parents do better, too. A recent study showed that moms whose school-aged kids were in bed by 8:30 p.m. had better mental health. So it’s good for the kids, and for you!

Tips for getting kids to sleep 💤 better

Number 1: Set a regular bedtime routine. In our house, that means a book, some extra cuddles and a lullaby, but it can be anything that works for your family — as long as you’re consistent.

Number 2: Shut off screens 2 hours before bedtime. The blue light emitted from screens can delay the release of sleep-inducing melatonin. Screens make our kiddos perk up and tell their internal clock it’s not sleepy time yet

So as you get ready for the bedtime slog tonight, remember it’s never too early (or too late) to start setting good sleep habits. The whole family will reap the benefits!

The Metro Health van will be here on Monday, December 18th. You can sign up using this online form. The MetroHealth Institute for H.O.P.E. School Health Program is partnering with CH-UH to offer health care services on-site at your child’s school. Your child will now have easier medical service access during the school day.

Additionally, CH-UH City School District students, their families, and staff members can receive routine health care at the Heights Wellness Center inside Cleveland Heights High School.

MetroHealth will bill insurance when able. If you do not have insurance, our team can help connect you to insurance resources.
