Worsens Mood

• Many kids become moody, impulsive or silly when
  they're overtired. They may become frustrated
  more quickly and lose their tempers easily.
• Kids who lose their temper can end up sitting in
  the principal's office instead of in class and
  having shorter fuses may make them give up and
  lose their tempers easily.

Reduces Focus And Attention

• When people are sleep-deprived, their brain waves
  lapse into very brief "sleep-like" patterns while
  they're awake. These daytime "micro-sleeps" help
  explain why exhausted students "space-out. at
  times in class. Kids with ADHD are particularly
  at risk.
• Students who don't get enough sleep may be
  distracted more easily and may make careless
  errors

Hampers Memory

• Lack of sleep can have a negative effect on
  "working" (short-term) and long term memory. It's
  harder for sleep-deprived brain to focus. So it's
  harder for it to retain new things.
• Overtired kids may work more slowly because it's
  tough for them to remember what they've just
  heard or read.

Changes Behavior

• Inadequate sleep causes everyone, including
  children, to be biased towards seeing the world
  in a more negative light and less in a positive
  one.
• Not getting enough sleep really affects every
  aspect of a childs well-being and functioning.

The Boss of my Sleep
The Boss of my Sleep speaks to kids aged 3 8
and their parents and is a step by step guide on
how to achieve sleeping through the night for
Toddlers and young children. (This Book is
available as downloadable PDF). When the child
successfully does their bedtime routine, just
like the animals do, they get a sticker as a
reward. Next, to gain the next sticker reward,
they stay quietly waiting in their bed. The
second sticker, awarded in the morning, enables
them to qualify for a prize, because they are The
Boss of Their Sleep!
