Regular, high-quality sleep habits help children consolidate memory and learn better.

A lack of sleep contributes to childhood depression, anxiety and even risk of suicide.

A child’s temperament plays a significant role in the duration, quality and timing of their sleep.

Every kid is unique, so don’t expect one-size-fits-all sleep advice to work universally.

Parents’ message about the importance of sleep should never waiver, says Erika Bocknek .

It’s never too late to nudge habits in a good direction and recommit to everyone getting the rest they need, she says.

Good sleep hygiene is a family affair.
