How Much Sleep Do Kids and Parents Really Need Each Night?
Description
Sleep looks different at every stage, from newborns who nap all day (and night) to parents just trying to make it through the week. But how much rest do kids and adults really need, and why does it feel so hard to get?
In this Baptist HealthTalk episode, Dr. Timothy Grant, medical co-director of Baptist Health Sleep Care, talks about the science of sleep and the habits that can make — or break — a good night’s rest. From bedtime battles to blue light, caffeine and power naps, we’ll uncover how small changes can have a big impact on your energy, focus and overall health.
You’ll learn:
• How much sleep kids, teens and adults actually need
• What screen time does to developing brains (and parents’ routines)
• Why “catching up” on weekends doesn’t really work
• How to reset your internal clock after jet lag or late nights
• The truth about naps, melatonin and magnesium
• Practical bedtime habits for better family sleep
