Why is sleep important?
Sleep restores children physically. It helps them learn and remember things, and it boosts immunity. And sleep helps children grow. For example, children’s bodies produce growth hormone when they’re asleep. Children of all ages need to get enough sleep so they can play, learn and concentrate during the day.

Below is a guide from the Children's Health and Wellbeing Local on sleep, its importance, tips for better sleep, guidelines on amounts of sleep needed etc.
