How Long 'Til Bedtime?

168. [ENCORE] Sleep To Get By Or Sleep To Thrive? Sleep For 3 to 10 Year Olds


Listen Later

Studies clearly show that getting the optimal amount of sleep improves a child’s impulse control, emotional regulation, and learning retention. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children 3 to 5 years old get 10-13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period and that children between 6 and 10 years old get 9 to 12 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. These are big ranges and it can be difficult to determine the sweet spot of optimal sleep for each child. Allison believes that many children can get by on the lower end of these ranges, but will really thrive on the higher end. Listen in to hear the details of her own personal experience and many of her clients’ experiences that have led her to this conclusion.
