Experts say that the best way to ensure your kids have a successful back to school experience is to recalibrate their sleep patterns now by setting wake up times at or near the times they will have to wake up for school next week.

Bed times should also be dialed back by at least 15 minutes initially and then to normal bed times shortly after.   Experts are suggesting that reducing lighting in the evening and turning off game consoles, and computer and tv screens will help your kids adjust the circadian clock.
