Fighting For Enough Sleep… In Preschool?
Is your preschool trading nap time for curriculum? Sleep allows consolidation of memories… nap time = enhanced learning, better school readiness.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/02/enough-sleep-preschool_n_4831042.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
In adolescents, sleep facilitates working memory/memory consolidation, and mind tasks decline more strongly after sleep deprivation. Getting enough sleep supports cognition, creativity, inventiveness.

Study shows getting regular, restful, plentiful sleep makes adult minds/memories work better.

Think back on your life and all of the things you wanted to do but never did
Perhaps you’re achieving your goals and would like to progress faster. What’s stopping you? When you look around, you see people who are living up to their full potential and making their dreams come true. Are they stronger, brighter, or more courageous than you? The answer is “no.” However, they have found the inner strength that enables them to accomplish whatever they set out to do. The will that transforms our ideas into actions, with your guiding beliefs, forms your emotional constitution. These programs develop and energize your emotional foundation.
