Along with nutrition and exercise, healthy sleep is one of the three pillars of a healthy lifestyle. Healthy sleep is especially important to a child’s growth and development. Children who sleep well are healthier and happier. They also are more alert and ready to learn in the classroom.
Teachers play an important role in helping their students develop healthy sleep habits that will last a lifetime. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine encourages teachers to download this free poster for display in the classroom. We hope the poster sparks students’ imagination and gets them thinking about the importance of sleep.
Teachers also will find more sleep-related resources from the AASM on the Sleep Education for School website. Download free lesson plans, activities, assessment tools and presentations. Help students understand that bedtime is the best time of the day!
