As schools in Fargo and Moorhead reopen on August 26th, it's crucial for parents to establish healthy sleep routines for children. Doctors recommend elementary students should aim for 10 hours of sleep, while teenagers should have at least 8 hours. To promote better sleep, avoid blue-light devices like cell phones and laptops, limit caffeine and avoid afternoon naps. Dr. Arveity Setty, a sleep medicine specialist, suggests gradually adjusting bedtime by 15 minutes earlier each day until reaching 8 hours of sleep. Relaxing activities like reading or writing can also help tire oneself out for better sleep.
