“Study Links Bedtime Rules to Better Skills in Preschool Children”

the VOA is a special English Health Report written by Caty Weaver,and in this report she said if the childrens don´t have bedtime routines or bedtime rules, they get less development  abilities in different areas ,(this is supported by a study that found the advantages in language, reading and early math skills in four years old children).

Another study created by SRI International in California which involved about eight thousand preschool children found that “doctors can easily try to get parents to set regular bedtimes. And at bedtime she urges parents to follow routines like reading books or telling stories to their children”. The study also found that an earlier bedtime was also a predictor of higher scores.

The new findings were presented this week in San Antonio, Texas, at a meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.

Between others little independent  studies respect to the same but with an football team, found that more sleep may even make a person run faster , for this reason the sleep should be part of an athlete's training program too.
