HealthDay (8/14, Norton) reports, “School kids who get to bed early rather than staring at their devices at night may be better equipped to control their behavior,” research indicates. Investigators “found that 8- to 11-year-olds who got adequate sleep and had limits on ‘screen time’ were less likely than their peers to report problems with impulsive behavior.” The findings, which are “based on over 4,500 Canadian kids aged 8 to 11,” were published online in Pediatrics.
