Most parents learn pretty quickly that an overtired child is an unruly child. Now, a new study finds that children’s behaviour problems might be linked not just to how much sleep they get, but whether they have a regular bedtime.
New research published in the journal Pediatrics finds that kids who don’t have a regular bedtime are more likely to have behaviour problems than kids with a set time for lights-out.
And the longer a child goes without a regular bedtime, the worse his or her behaviour problems become over time, the study found.
