Since my son began Kindergarten this year, I kept wondering when I put him to bed each night, how much sleep does he need? Is he getting enough? Because when he wakes up in the morning he certainly doesn’t always seem well-rested.
The Academy of Sleep Medicine put out a new infograph for parents to reference that will let you know exactly how much sleep your kids need and I wanted to share it.
