Interesting article on kid sleep

Not that it's news that kids need sleep, but here's an interesting article on the topic.

We're not really that great about this in our house. Neither of the adults here are really very good sleepers, and although we're moderately firm about bedtime (8 pm), we haven't really shifted it earlier to go with this fall's earlier speech therapy schedule, and we also do make quite a few exceptions.

I'm afraid that in the depth of my heart, I guess I believe that having adventures is more important than sleep. And my son doesn't really have meltdowns - he's a very cheerful stay-up-too-late boy. We stayed at a wedding until after 9:00 last night, and then he stayed up for most of the drive back home, without really anything resembling fussing.

Defintely one of those aspects of life in which I'm a crappy model.
