Sleepyhead Beds is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 2010 by past executive director and current board member Monica Starr. Monica saw first-hand the significant need for beds for the Kansas City metro area children while working with foster youth families. With two part-time employees, a truck and some warehouse space, Sleepyhead Beds was born and during its first year provided 1,200 beds to Kansas City area children. Sleepyhead Beds has grown to include an executive director and 10 volunteer board members. In 2015, over 2,000 children and parents received bed and over 150 tons of waste was diverted from landfills.

Sleep: We all do it. Some do it well and knock out as soon as they lay down to rest, while others struggle to fall asleep, spending hours on end trying to get their mind and body to relax. Most of us wonder how we can sleep better and longer, and what our dreams mean. Others ponder how they can control their dreams, what would happen if they couldn't doze off - or if they didn't wake up. There's a certain curiosity about the supernatural side of sleep - an interest in the questions left unanswered.

These books are a mix of fiction and nonfiction, so you'll be able to explore the world of sleep through science and facts and through imagination, in places beyond your wildest dreams ... and nightmares. Pick up one (or several) of these books, climb into bed, and read away. Then turn out the lights and let your unconscious take over as you make your way to the land of dreams.

School age children need approximately 9-11 hours of sleep per night depending on age. Children and teens who do not get enough sleep may have problems getting along with others. They may feel angry and impulsive, have mood swings, feel sad or depressed, and lack motivation. They also may have problems paying attention, and may get lower grades and feel stressed.

And when kids don’t sleep well, families don’t sleep well. Mood, fatigue, sleep quality, parenting stress and daytime sleepiness are worse for parents of children who don’t sleep well. Parents report losing an average of about 35 minutes of sleep per night due to child awakenings. This really adds up over the week.

Having a good night’s sleep depends on having a dark, quiet, and comfortable place to sleep. Sleepyhead Beds helps Kansas City families sleep better every night!

In Kansas City tonight, nearly 1 in every 42 kids will be sleeping some place other than their own bed. That includes sleeping on the floor, couch, and with parents and older siblings. Children in these environments frequently wake during the night. Having a comfortable mattress and pillow, as part of a good sleep environment, is vital to getting a good night sleep.
