		<description><![CDATA[Today, children get on average 1 hour of sleep less each night than they did 30 years ago. Kindergartners get 30 minutes less. What are the consequences? They are actually astonishing. The book Nurture Shock describes a number of interesting experiments around the impact of sleep deprivation on a child&#8217;s brain development: For 6th graders, [...]]]></description>
