Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
-Margaret Fuller
Here are some interesting factoids from a Time article (March 26, 2012) on the need for sleep, "Please, Please, Go to Sleep":
- Studies show that 60% of a child's growth hormone is secreted during sleep.
- Getting too little sleep appears to have a role in obesity. One Israeli study found the effect in babies as young as 6 months.
- Australian children sleep almost a full hour per day more than American kids, who sleep less than kids in nearly all other countries.
- The National Sleep Foundation recommends 14 to 15 hours of sleep for babies, 12 to 14 for toddlers, 11 to 13 for preschoolers, and 10 to 11 for elementary schoolers.
