💨 Abstract

With the start of the school year, experts recommend easing kids back into sleep routines for better focus in class. Preschoolers need up to 13 hours of sleep, tweens 9-12 hours, and teenagers 8-10 hours. Establish earlier bedtimes gradually, reduce screen time before sleep, and create relaxed bedtime activities. Help reduce first-day anxiety through discussions and test runs of school activities. Adjust routine as needed, emphasizing sleep quality as well as duration.
