The Relationship Between Sleep and Screen Time

Sleep is such an important part of our health for children and adults alike. Sleep is a time for children to develop physically, neurologically, and cognitively, to grow, repair and integrate. For adults, we also need sleep to rejuvenate, repair, and even problem-solve our waking issues. How can we ensure we are setting up good habits for our kids and also for ourselves to support everyone's waking potential? What if we or our kids aren't good sleepers? Is there a way to fix this?
