    A recent study conducted by the Murdoch Children\u2019s Institute has concluded \u201cthat the ideal time for early school-age kids to go to sleep is 8:30.\u201d\u00a0 The research indicated that children who went to bed around that time or earlier had a \u201cbetter health-related quality of life,\u201d when compared to those with later bedtimes. Children were not the only beneficiaries of an early bedtime; it was also found that the parents achieved improvement in their mental health. \u00a0An earlier bedtime gave adults more time to decompress.<\/p>\n

    The National Sleep Foundation also performed a similar study and found that children who stayed up later than normal had \u201cmore academic problems and more attention problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
