Moms – Ashley Wehrli
A new study has found that children who suffer from insomnia will likely continue to suffer into adulthood. Sleep is vital for the health and wellbeing of everyone, and this includes children. Children are going through rapid periods of growth, and this relies on sleep. They also need rest to ensure they succeed in school and can maintain physical health.
