ALABAMA, USA School starts soon and kids will need to set their alarm clocks to make it to school on time.
Summer vacation may make the adjustment harder, but the Alabama Department of Public Health s Dr. Karen Landers says students need their sleep. This is a very great asset to children in terms of their being able to have a good learning environment when they go to school, said Landers.
Landers, a pediatrician, says that younger children need up to 10 to 12 hours of sleep, and as they get older, at least 10 hours.
Experts recommend people get between seven and eight hours of sleep a night, and the Minnesota Sleep Society has some tips to ensure you're getting adequate sleep.
