ATHENS — Diane Bales, a UGA Extension human development specialist, explains that children shouldn’t wait until school starts to adjust their bedtime routine. On average, school-aged children need about 12 hours of sleep.
Families are gearing up for a new school year. New grades, new teachers and new schedules are on the horizon.
