Sleeping Tips for Families

Sleep is important for the well-being of the whole family.

Through getting the correct amount of sleep we are more alert, have sharper senses, our brain functions better, and we are able to concentrate easier.

The Sleep Charity 'The Sleep Charity' says, "Quality sleep is essential for children’s growth and development. A decent night’s sleep will help them to do better at school, allow them to react more quickly to situations, have a more developed memory, learn more effectively and solve problems, plus it will make them less susceptible to colds and other minor ailments, less irritable and better behaved!"
