Answer:
According to the National Sleep Foundation (yes, there is such a thing), sleep is as important as water and oxygen to the brain; in short, they say "sleep is food for the brain."
So how much sleep do your kids get on a typical week night? (For that matter, how much sleep do you get on a typical night?) Kids should be sleeping between eight and 10 hours; a survey by the National Sleep Foundation indicates that 62% of high school students get less than eight hours of shut-eye a night.
My experience has been, the younger your kids are, the less sleep you get; the older your kids, the less sleep they get.
I was walking to chapel with a couple of Senior School students the other day and they told me that at least a couple of nights each week it is not unusual for them to get only six or seven hours of sleep.
Among other statistics reported by the National Sleep Foundation, apparently 73% of kids who report that they are depressed also report that they do not get enough sleep. Suffering from a lack of sleep is like operating with a 0.08% blood alcohol level.
From an educational perspective, you simply need sleep to learn. And while some parents and kids feel that too much homework takes away from time otherwise spent with head on the pillow, I do not believe it to be the primary cause of sleep deprivation. In my own conversations with kids, they often fess up that procrastination, distraction (social media, television, movies), and poor organization are the main culprits.
So what can parents do to get your kids to sleep more? Clearly, nagging does not do the trick with teenagers. Again, the National Sleep Foundation offers us some tips including: blacken out your children's rooms from daylight; don’t install TVs in bedrooms; computers should be turned off before going to bed (not kept in or on the bed); avoid eating a couple hours before bed; and no caffeine (including soft drinks) before bedtime. Also, by establishing a routine bedtime each night you can train your body to sleep!
For me, my night’s sleep is sometimes interrupted by passing thoughts. My recent technique aimed at improving my sleep is to keep a pen and paper on my bedside table. I will jot things down (sometimes in the middle of the night when I wake up) so I do not lie awake worrying, thinking about forgetting the very thing that woke me up! Goodness, the brain is confounding sometimes!
Now, the next challenge: how to get boarding students to sleep more...?
