A recent Bronx workshop highlighted that children as young as second grade are not getting enough sleep, leading to significant physical, emotional, and academic consequences.
A study of over 4,200 U.S. children found an average sleep time of 7.45 hours, far below the 9 to 12 hours recommended for elementary students.
Black and low-income children sleep about 30 minutes less per day than their white, higher-income peers, indicating a potential disparity in sleep health.
The bilingual workshop aimed to educate parents on the importance of sleep routines, emphasizing that parental involvement is crucial for creating a cohesive approach to sleep.
