Active Kids Fall Asleep Faster

"As parents watch their children swimming or playing tag, they often comment happily to each other about how well their kids will sleep that night. Now there's scientific data to back up that playground chatter.

This is important because bad sleep patterns in children have been associated with poorer school performance and an increased risk of being obese or overweight."
