Children as young as eight may already show unhealthy sleeping habits normally associated with adolescence according to new research, which could be affecting their school performance and health. Carried out by researchers at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ in Montreal, the new study looked at the sleep patterns of 144 children aged six to 11 years old during the academic year.

Bad sleep habits in children begin earlier than many experts assume. That’s the takeaway from a new study led by 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ researchers. The findings suggest that official sleep guidelines for young school children should be revisited – and that parents ought to maintain firm bedtime rules throughout children’s primary-school years.
