Up to 25%聽of children suffer from sleep problems

Children may have trouble settling down at the end of the day, falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking too early. These issues are known as "insomnia鈥�.

Children need to sleep well

When children get adequate sleep, their quality of life improves around the clock - better behaviour, better mood, and better school performance!聽A better night鈥檚 sleep can result in improved health and well-being for the entire family.

Few children receive treatment for sleep problems

Those who do may receive inappropriate treatment such as medication, which may have side effects. Very few children receive behavioural treatment options, which are proven to work. Parents may not have the time or resources to access these treatments, and many health care providers do not have the training to provide these treatments.

A team of psychologists, nurses and physicians - many of them parents themselves - developed the Better Nights,聽Better Days program and will be measuring its success

The program is based on behavioural principles - increasing and encouraging positive behaviours that will help children learn to settle down more quickly at bedtime and achieve a better quality of sleep throughout the night.

Better Nights,聽Better Days聽may help provide a more accessible聽way of delivering health care
