erica. most parents monitor how much sleep their kids are getting each night. from toddler to teen aryes. but there's something else to consider when it comes to sleep schedules. and it could be impacting your health. >> news4's doreen gentzler joins us with more. it might surprise a lot of you. >> this someone ofthose tricky things that parents deal with da every one of the leading sleep doctors in the country is sharing new research with us.e the rsults may have some parents rethking their child's bedtime routine. it has to do with the time your kids go to sleep ande wak up not just how many hours of sleep they're getting. if your child has mood swgs or even trouble concentrating, this could be a clue about why that's happening. these clocks in our body tell us we when to go to sleep. off 's so easy to get schedule in the summertime when re of n't have the struc school or morning routines. the changes can throw off yr child's internal alarm clock.

>> so young children, there's a strong tendency for them to want to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. utting a very young child to bed very, very late is problematic. it doesn't fit with their body clock. just as putting an adolescent to bed at 8:00 or 9:00 at night is problematic. they can't fall asleep that early. d >> dr.nny lewitt is director of sleep medicine here at children's national health medicine in d.c. he said it's not just abouton h l they're sleeping, but what time they're going to bed. >> we tend to think about only duration but it's really critical en think about wh we're sleeping. as a critical component of sleep health, mental health,ni lear. physical health. >> children's national is part of a group that's about to publish research on optimal bedtimesbased on child's age. it builds off recommendations that ma parents already use from the american academy of pediatrics. the guidelines call for babies to sleep from .6:00 pm. to 6:00

a.m. foth several additional hours factored in naps. toddlers shod go toed around 6:00 p.m. and preschoolers should aim for a 6:30 bed time. tting 1 1 to 13 hours a sleep. once kids start elementary school, try to get them into bed by 7:30. they need about 12 hours of sleep and should avoid taking naps. le 8-year-olds to 2-year-olds may not be ready for bed until 8:00 while teegers aren't wired to go to sleep unti 9:30 to 10-30. aiming for 8-10 hours of sleep a night. dr.lewis says the key is consistency. even on weekends or the summer. or it can lead to a phenomenon called sociajet lag. >> so weekends should not be considered wild times, free zone to stay upas late as you want. if they're delayingeir sleep time by three or mour hours, it's like they're living in california on the weekends and then they have to come back to the east coast for school on

monday morning, we know our bodies don't adjust well for that. >> those dramatic shifts in sleep can lead to mood swings. changes in appetite and trouble concentrating. >> our metabolism isn'tni funng optimally. our immune system isn't functioning optionally. our muscle repair is not functioning op imally. and learning can be affected. >> dr. lewis says it's okay to ledlet teenagers sleep in and stayurp later ding the summer. but he recommends youry to keep it within an hour of their normal bed time and wake-up time. coming up tomorrow, summ weight gain and why kids are more pikely tout on the pounds this time of year. who is most at risk and what parents can do to keep it from ppening, coming upmorrow at 4:00. i think that the idea of guidance about bed tims a good thing. kids now. they're trying tony pack so ma things intohe tir schedules. i think individual ki going to vary of course.
