Starting a new school year can be exciting, but it also comes with challenges, especially when it comes to sleep routines.
“Sleep is tied to cognitive performance, mood, memory, and overall health,” says Dr. Peggy Scallon, Senior Medical Director at Rogers Behavioral Health in Oconomowoc. “We want to help kids develop good routines with sleep, and that starts with consistency, not perfection.”
In this video, Dr. Scallon offers practical advice for parents and caregivers on how to support healthy sleep habits in children and teens. From managing screen time to creating calming bedtime routines, these tips can help set students up for success, both in and out of the classroom.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or student, this is a helpful guide to making sleep a priority this school year.
