Sleep Routines

Getting good sleep is vitally important at any age, but especially for growing children. GUADS helps families, educators, and healthcare providers teach the importance of sleep to children, and provides tips and resources to help kids get the sleep they need.

Risks of Insufficient Sleep

When children don’t get enough sleep, they’re at increased risk for:
  • obesity
  • hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • mood swings
  • behavioral issues such as aggression, depression, anxiety, inattention, and hyperactivity
  • over-tiredness
  • poor response inhibition/self-control
  • poor response time and driving accidents in teens
  • alcohol/cigarette/marijuana use in early adulthood
  • poor school performance (as measured by teacher ratings, grades, achievement tests, and intelligence tests), learning capacity, and neurobehavioral function
