🎒 **Back to School Means Back to a Healthy Sleep Routine**
As summer winds down, shifting back to earlier bedtimes and wake-up times can be difficult—especially for children and teens. In recognition of **Student Sleep Health Week, September 14–18, 2026**, now is a great time to help your family rebuild healthy sleep habits.
Start adjusting bedtime and wake time by 15–30 minutes every few nights. Keep weekend schedules consistent, limit evening caffeine, turn off screens at least an hour before bed, and create a calm bedtime routine. School-aged children generally need 9–12 hours of sleep, while teenagers need 8–10 hours.
If your child or teen has been prescribed CPAP therapy, make it a supportive part of the routine:
💙 Let them help choose a comfortable mask
💙 Explain how CPAP can help them feel more rested and ready for school
💙 Praise consistent use instead of making it feel like a punishment
💙 Encourage CPAP during every sleep—including naps and sleepovers
💙 Contact their care team about leaks, discomfort, anxiety, or resistance
Never change a child’s prescribed pressure or discontinue therapy without consulting their healthcare provider. With patience, encouragement, and the right equipment, CPAP can become a normal part of bedtime.
