Attention, parents and caregivers! Do you feel alert and happy today? Do you feel foggy and grumpy? Are you having trouble concentrating during the day? Sleep is an important part of your daily routine—you spend about one-third of your time doing it. Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body – from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Your mood, ability to concentrate, and other aspects of your mental health are also impacted by your sleep.
