Nurses Corner: 

Sleep is so important for you to be at your best. Most teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. Getting the right amount of sleep is important to do well in school, play your best in sports, grow and develop normally, and overall be healthy! See the link below for ideas to create a healthy sleep environment at home.
