Sleep promotes smooth transitions!

Is anyone else having a difficult time to believe that the lazy, hazy, days of summer are coming to end?
Fall  always brings busy schedules as the kiddos return to school. As I think back about those days in my home, I remember how challenging the "early mornings" and packed evenings can be.  One of the most important things for a smooth transition is an improved FAMILY sleep schedule (Yes, Mom and Dad...for you too!)
After checking in with WebMD.com,  I thought I'd share 
sleep hour recommendations I found for specific ages:
       1-3 years old: 12-14 hours (including naps)
       3-6 years old: 10-12 hours
       7-12 years old: 10-11 hours
      12-18 years old: 8-9 hours 
The article I saw didn't have specific information for Mom and Dad. Everything I've read in recent years, sleep recommendations for adults are similar to the 12-18 year old group.

This week, I'll be sharing a few helpful tips on falling asleep quickly, and improving the quality of sleep your family gets.  "Talk" to you again soon!
