Sleepy Kids

The Sunday Times reported on 20 July that 'nearly half of the primary school pupils polled say they are not getting enough sleep' (The Sunday Times, 20 July 2008, Home, Page 8, "Sleepy Kids").Some interesting extracts from the article:a) Dr Jenny Tang, deputy head of paediatric medicine at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, said that the recommended number of hours a child between the ages of six and 12 should sleep a day is 10 to 11 hours.b) Mr Martin Tan, principal of Anderson Primary School, said schools are conscious of the need for pupils to have sufficient rest and family time.'It boils down to time management and this is where parents need to work closely with their children to ensure they are spending their time at home wisely and making the right choices,' he said.c) If good grades are what parents and teachers are after, they should know that sleep deprivation can affect a child's attention, memory, decision-making and creativity.d) It (lack of sleep) can also cause kid to become more irritable and can even lead to behavioural problems like hyperactivity and disobedience.How true is this for your case?
