Murfreesboro City School students have the undertaking of tests this week and will continue the testing process next week as well (April 18 – April 29, 2022). Teachers in the City Schools have spent the school year educating students and preparing them for these tests...

Nightly Routines = Better Sleep for Children

Studies on bedtime routines have shown to greatly reduce problematic sleep behaviors in children and further support a healthier overall wellbeing in child development when bedtime routines are consistent, according to the National Library of Medicine.

The Sleep Foundation reports that children who follow a bedtime routine are more likely to go to sleep earlier and wake up less during the night.

In addition to school children having a nightly bedtime routine, it is equally important to make sure there is an overall schedule or routine that is followed daily. Routines offer a feeling of safety, control and comfort in the life of a child.

• Feel in control of their environment
• Feel safe, secure, and comfortable
• Know what is happening now and what comes next
• Know how to do an activity or task
• Engage in learning
