Experts say that people need at least 6 hours of sleep every night. If they do not get enough

sleep they will feel sleepy the whole day. Younger kids need at least 9 hours of sleep every

night. After-school activities can take away from sleep time for kids. Also parents with busy

life styles stay up late and their kids do the same. Kids with little sleep have a hard time

sleeping at night and this will affect their daily routine and make them less active and

productive through the day in school. Most parents are not aware of what goes on when their
