The ISNS uniform is an important element of school life. We believe the uniform can help to create a sense of community. When worn properly it generates a shared identity among students and can help instill a sense of pride in our school. Having a uniform helps students to focus on their work and activities while at school, rather than their appearance. It encourages positive social interactions among students by building unity rather than competition about looks. It also makes life a little easier for parents!

At ISNS, we believe in empowering our parents as we partner to raise strong and confident students. In this article we wanted to share the importance of sleep. The National Sleep Foundation suggests that children aged 5-12 should get 10-11 hours of sleep per night (and around 9 hours for teens). Check out the article below on why academic performance starts with good sleep.

When you think about what it takes to do well in school, you probably think about things like participating in class, studying, and doing homework. But there's something else that comes before all that: Getting a good night's sleep.

The National Sleep Foundation suggests that children aged 5-12 should get 10-11 hours of sleep per night (and around 9 hours for teens). Think of sleep as your child's chance to recharge. It benefits their physical growth, weight, and even their immune system.

Researchers have found that children who get better quality sleep do better in math and language arts. Without enough sleep, kids have a harder time learning, paying attention, and remembering things. (And as any parent knows, they're less pleasant to be around.)

We get it, though - getting your kid to bed isn't always easy. Here are five strategies you can try to make sure they're getting the rest they need.

在ISNS我们相信授权给家长作为我们密切合作的伙伴去培养坚强而自信的学生。这篇文章我们想要分享睡眠的重要性。美国国家睡眠基金会建议5-12岁的孩子应该每晚要睡眠10-11个小时（成年人大概9小时）。阅读如下文章看看为什么好的学业要从优质的睡眠开始。

为什么要保证一个良好的睡眠

当你思考自己如何在学校表现出色时，你可能想到的会是在班级里表现好，努力学习和做家庭作业。但在做好这些事之前还有一件事：睡一场好觉。

美国国家睡眠基金会建议5-12岁的孩子每晚应该睡眠10-11小时（成年人大概睡眠9个小时），把睡觉当作事孩子充电的机会，这会帮助他们身体成长，保持体重甚至增强他们的免疫系统。

调查员发现孩子有良好的睡眠质量，在数学和语言艺术方面会表现地更好。没有足够睡眠，孩子学习和专注力和记忆力方面更显吃力（正如每位家长所知，他们没那么好相处）

我们知道，让孩子上床睡觉不是件容易的事。现在给大家提供5个策略，你们可以尝试让他们得到自己想要的睡眠。

1. HAVE A CONSISTENT HOME ROUTINE AND BEDTIME

Kids respond well to routines, which help everyone stay on track. Try setting clear blocks of time for free time, doing homework, having dinner, and getting ready for bed. For bedtime, go for a calming routine that includes taking a warm bath or shower and time for your child to quiet down. One of the best things you can do? Read with them.

2. LIMIT SCREEN TIME RIGHT BEFORE BED

While it may be tempting to hand over the iPad when your daughter insists she's not sleepy, try to avoid it. The blue light produced by tablets and smartphones can disrupt kids' biological rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep. Encourage reading, drawing, or other quiet activities in the time right before bed instead.

3. AVOID SUGARY DRINKS OR SODAS IN THE EVENING

That includes sport drinks and even fruit juice. Public health experts call these drinks "liquid candy." By the same token, avoid actual candy or sweet snacks, and anything with caffeine.

1.设定一个固定的家庭作息时间和睡觉时间
孩子对作息时间反应良好，这会帮助每个人都在正常轨道上。尝试给做作业，吃晚餐，和准备上床睡觉安排清晰的时间。上床睡觉前，安排一个平缓的过度时间，如洗一个热水澡让孩子安静下来。还有一个很好的事情就是给他们阅读。
2.上床前限制看屏幕的时间
当你尝试收起IPAD，你的女儿会拒绝你的做法并说自己不困。平板电脑和智能手机发出的蓝光会干扰到孩子的生物节律而造成难以入眠。推荐大家在睡前阅读，画画或者其他安静的活动。
3.避免在晚上喝含糖饮料或者苏打
这包括运动饮料和水果汁，公共卫生专家称之为"液体糖果"。换而言之，避免吃到糖果，甜食和任何含有咖啡因的食物。
4.不要在孩子的房间放电视
那些有睡眠问题的人，伴随着会有其他的健康问题。电视的控制权掌握在孩子手上，而不是你的手上，怎么听都觉得这不是个好主意。
5.确保你的孩子做锻炼
像小狗一样，孩子一天做的锻炼越多，晚上就越容易入睡，睡的也会越长。确保你孩子所在的学校给孩子们提供锻炼和休息的时间，充分使用周围的公园，操场和运动设施。

教育的建议 ：如果你的孩子有自己的手机或者平板电脑，让他们把这些都放在房间外，放在厨房或者起居室。这样会防止他们上网上到很晚，防止他们在睡觉时被闹钟或者铃声打扰。
