Children need to get plenty of sleep in order to perform well in school. After a summer of staying up late and then young teenage boy asleep on his school bookssleeping in, many kids are out of their school year bedtime routines. Mayo Clinic Children's Center pediatric neurologist and sleep specialist Dr. Suresh Kotogal says in order for most school-aged children to be at their best, they need to get from 8 1/2 to 9 hours of sleep every night. He also says "children should work back into a school year sleep schedule gradually, starting a week or two before the first bell rings."
