There’s nothing more difficult for a parent than a tired, whinny kid who doesn’t want to go to school. On the flipside, kids and teens who are well rested and relaxed are more likely to be ready for school – with a smile on their face. COVID-19 has reminded many people – especially caring parents, about the importance of health and wellness. In 2021, mental and physical health top the list of concerns for parents. With sleep being one of the pillars of good health and parents finding it challenging to get kids to bed earlier at the start of the school year, Bedsure wanted to help young and old students get the good sleep they deserve, easily.

Lack of sleep damages mental, physical and emotional health. According to the Mayo Clinic, lack of enough good quality sleep can affect the immune system, making someone “more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus”, as well as affecting how fast someone recovers once they do get sick. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep and children may need 10 or more hours of sleep, though it depends on the quality of the sleep. According to the Douglas Research Centre,

Sleep has beneficial effects on our health, emotions, memory, and academic potential. Inadequate sleep, however, can negatively affect our well-being, decision-making, and attention, all of which are necessary for success in school. 

Reducing sleep may disrupt the ability of students to concentrate for long periods of time, and remember what they learn in class. According to a study, children with reduced sleep are more likely to struggle with verbal creativity, problem solving, inhibiting their behaviour, and generally score lower on IQ tests according to current leading research.

Parents, foster/adoptive parents and guardians can help kids and youth get enough good quality sleep in a number of ways. These include both healthy habits as well as sleep aids. Bedsure’s Back-to-School range of rest and sleep products are suitable for all kinds of students – from kids just starting out in elementary school to high school students working hard on their homework to young adults in college.
