Study Confirms Making Children Go To Bed Early Is Good For A Mom’s Mental Health

4Children who sleep early are healthy

The ensuing data collected from the interviews found that children who went to sleep early by 8.30 pm were healthier in terms of the quality of life and mommies too had an improved state of mental health. What lead author John Quach says is absolutely right because nothing compares to the satisfying moment when your child is asleep.

5And great for mommy’s health too both physically and mentally

The heavenly sound of silence and no kids hankering or squabbling with each other can be relaxing. Not that parents don’t love their kids, but some ME time is essential for one’s mental sanity and a quiet home at night is the best there is, when you as a parent can relax and recharge yourself perhaps with a nice glass of wine or your hot cuppa watching your favorite episodes on TV or reading a nice book.  In other words, you gain some peace and that is so important for your mental frame of mind.

6Managing kids is no easy task

It isn’t easy managing kids. There is a load of work involved and it challenges you mentally and physically, with single parents, it becomes quite an experience which is why parents go through extreme bouts of stress and fatigue.

7Kids who sleep earlier sleep longer

The biggest benefit of the study according to Dr Quach was the fact that kids who slept earlier even slept longer. This was also proved by a U.S. Poll that featured on the National Institutes of health website.
