A Message from Zoya about SLEEP!

EVERYONE needs sleep but most important, KIDS need sleep.  


Now, why kids?  Well kids need more sleep than adults do. If you are wondering how much sleep kids need, we found that information on this website: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/guide/sleep-children 


If you are 3-6 years old, then you need 10-12 hours of sleep every night.  If you are 7-12 years old, then you need 10-11 hours of sleep.  And if you are 13-18 years old, then you need 8-9 hours.


But almost every kid wants to relax and watch TV but they never want to sleep. They don’t think it’s important but it is!  I think it's because people are distracted and they don't see they are on technology way to much.  But all the Mom's are right.  You shouldn't be on technology so much because it's bad for you and I call it "Children Disease" sometimes.  Now back to this sleep topic:  Kids, I think you should stop watching TV because you need to go to sleep or you will fall asleep in school.  You need sleep or you will be too tired to play with your friends at home and to learn at school and then you feel upset and tired. So think about it: You really need sleep!   And look at it this way if you are not convinced yet: if you are on the computer or on the TV forever, you will fall asleep  anyway and maybe be too tired to play on it tomorrow.


So get some sleep!  I will post more sleep information and tips soon!!
