" Inadequate sleep can result in decreased concentration and academic performance. ... In addition, a lack of sleep may result in decreased reaction time and an increased risk of accident or injury. A good night's sleep plays a key role in disease resistance, clarity of thought, and stability of mood.

• Research has demonstrated that as children get older, their sleep-wake cycles change.

These same children also reported having trouble falling asleep, but only five percent of their parents were aware of the problem.
