Getting children up, out of bed, and off to school in the morning can be a difficult and frustrating endeavor - matched only by the challenge of getting them into bed and asleep at night! How much sleep do children really need? What processes drive sleep and determine how easy (or not) it is for children to fall asleep and wake up?

Why do some children have trouble keeping their eyes open past 8:00 PM, while others seem to catch their second wind at that hour? Learn the answers to these questions and others, and review strategies for improving children's sleeping patterns and habits. Although this talk will focus primarily on elementary school-age children, many principles discussed will be applicable to all ages.

Presenter: Dr. Dennis Rosen is a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep specialist at Children's Hospital Boston, where he is a member of the Division of Respiratory Diseases and the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders. He is Associate Medical Director of the Sleep Laboratory at Children's Hospital Boston.

This is the second in a series of free presentations sponsored by:
Newton PTO Council, Newton Parent Advisory Council, Project INTERFACE at WarmLines, a subsidiary of the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, and Newton Safe Schools/Healthy Students.
