RULES TO SLEEP BY  

Sleep specialists say parents should make sufficient sleep  
a family priority to ensure their children get healthy  
amounts of shut-eye. Here are some tips they offer on how  
to accomplish that goal: Embrace good sleep habits by  
establishing regular bedtime routines, creating a quiet and  
comfortable bedroom free of televisions and computers and  
eliminating caffeine from your child's diet; learn to  
recognize sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep,  
nighttime awakenings, snoring, stalling and resisting going  
to bed, having trouble breathing and loud or heavy breathing  
while sleeping, and talk to your child's doctor about sleep.
