Episode Synopsis

As the new school year approaches, it's easy to focus on school supplies and schedules, but there's one critical area that shouldn't be overlooked—your child's sleep. In today's episode, we discuss why adjusting sleep routines after summer is crucial for a successful school transition. One way to ensure your child is ready is by considering a sleep screen. A sleep screen evaluates your child's sleep habits to identify potential issues like sleep apnea or frequent awakenings that could affect their rest and school performance. If your child snores, struggles to stay asleep, or seems unusually tired during the day, a sleep screen could be an essential step. Prioritizing sleep as part of your back-to-school preparation can help set your child up for a successful year, ensuring they're ready to thrive both academically and socially.
