Are School Kids Getting Enough Sleep?

As a parent of a school aged child myself I often wonder if my child is getting enough sleep, especially when she can be tetchy and hard to wake up in a morning. You wouldn’t believe this was the same child who was bright and breezy after ten thirty last night. In many respects I feel sorry for school children today. For starters, they have more homework than I had, and they just seem to work harder than I remember I needed to when I was school age. I came across a study which says that children may not be getting enough sleep. Like I said, I might agree with regards to my daughter. Apparently elementary school-age kids need 10 to 11 hours of sleep and kids aged 10 to 17 need 8.5 to 9.25 hours daily. But how much sleep are children actually getting? “Kid’s Health says children ages 5 to 12 get an average of 9.5 hours of sleep at night.

Smartphone app Helps Manage Caffeine Levels For A Good Night’s Sleep

A new Smartphone app to make coffee drinkers aware of the level of cafeine in their blood before they try to go to sleep. This app, christened the Caffeine Zone, works by asking the user how much caffeine he or she plans to consume or has consumed, in addition to how fast the drink is drunk. The research on which this app is based found that generally people peak at their mental alertness when their blood levels show between 200 and 400 milligrams of caffeine present. These levels are higher than the level that is the optimum for sleep, of 100 milligramms, or less, of caffeine in the blood. The app, is free for iPhone with ads or for purchase without ads. Another alternative is not to take any caffeine within eight hours of bedtime. Would this work for you? Why not let us know by leaving a comment. Source

Natural Ways To Fall Asleep – This Is My Favourite Way

My Best Ways To Fall Asleep Of the many natural ways to fall asleep, I have my favourites. I have sleep strategies I can call on, should the need arise when I cannot fall asleep as quickly as I want to on any given night. None of us knows before we go to bed how we are going to sleep the following night.  There are so many variables to consider that’s why I like to be prepared just in case I can’t drop to sleep. I have a few sleep remedies to fall back on when this happens.  I try one strategy at a time, giving it a certain amount of time to work for me. If it is not effective quickly enough, I move on to try something else. Hopefully though, I won’t need to work through many before I am sound asleep. It works for me eventually.  Sometimes I drop off quickly other times I am not so lucky. I know we are all different when it comes to how quickly we get to fall sleep. Isn’t it wonderful when you can just switch out the bedside light, and before you know it, you are asleep? I value …Read the Rest
