SLEEP: Advice for students

I’m not an expert on student behavior or sleep habits. That being said, a later start for school would seem to give the students an excuse to stay up even later because school starts later.

When I was a student, my mom made sure we were in bed at a certain time. Earlier than I wanted, but I was never tired in school.

We also didn’t have video games, TVs and phones in our bedrooms to keep us awake half the night.

Maybe we need to hold our kids accountable and enforce simple rules that are best for our kids. Let’s stop catering to their bad habits and choices and make the choices that are best for them.
