Persuasive Go to Sleep! Have you ever argued with your parents over your bedtime? Many children all around the globe attempt to convince their parents every night to extend their awake time. Some are successful, some fail miserably. You win some, you lose some, right? Parents do have some method in their madness in putting you to bed before nine o’clock. And no, it is not slavery or torture. There are some valid reasons why children should go to bed early. A 10-year-old child needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep every night. If you have to wake up at six in the morning, you should be in bed no later than eight at night. During sleep, your brain restores resources that were used during the day. It uses sleep to process events. It sorts and stores information. This is very important to create long-term memories. A child that consistently gets enough sleep can remember things better. Well-rested children are also more creative, can concentrate better and have more energy during the day. Research has shown that people get their best sleep early at night. Children who go to bed late will miss out on this very important restorative sleep. They might wake up feeling tired and groggy. Children who go to sleep later take longer to fall asleep than those hitting the sack earlier. They also wake more during the night. This results in even less sleep. Don’t think that if you go to sleep an hour earlier, you will wake up an hour earlier. Researchers asked parents of children aged 7 to 11 years to make bedtime an hour earlier for five nights in a row. On average, these children slept 27 minutes more than before. Your parents are right this time. It is really worth it to stick to your bedtime. A well-rested brain is a happy brain. You will feel so much better! 110 Reading for Me Level 4 (Part A) 978-1-922843-63-0 R.I.C. Publications ® Prim-Ed Publishing
