But as fall approaches it is time to get the kids back onto a healthy sleep schedule so they can make the most of their school days. A good night\u2019s sleep is one of the most important things you can help provide for your child for so many reasons, including that it lets your child have a stronger memory. However, if you\u2019re like many parents, this transition from a summer sleeping to school sleeping schedule isn\u2019t always as easy as declaring an earlier bedtime.<\/p>\n
