Back to School: 2 Essentials for a Smooth Transition
Posted by Robert Needlman, M.D.If you have children heading back to school in the next two weeks, it’s time to get ready. And I’m not talking about ring-binders and lined paper. I’m talking about sleep and reading.
1. Sleep
Sleep is the big one. If you’re like most parents, you let bedtimes slide a bit over the summer. Or, you let them slide a lot. Way back in medical school, I learned that people’s normal biorhythms run on cycles of slightly more than 24 hours. If you put someone in a room without a window, and keep him there for a few days, he’ll start to go to bed a little later every night, and wake up a little later every morning. Eventually he ends up awake at night and asleep during the day. Sound familiar?
