Research shows that about one in four overweight American kids have trouble with their sleep. But, regular exercise can help these yawning youngsters.
The study was conducted on 100 kids, aged between 7 and 11, and found that overweight kids are inactive and suffer from sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring.
But this condition can be improved by vigorous after-school physical activity, such as basketball, soccer, tag, and jumping rope. Even children who do not have any sleep problems can have improved sleep after vigorous physical activity.
Sleep problems in children may affect children’s behavior and their ability to function in school. So if you have kids who have sleep problems, just get them to play some outdoor games and exercise. It will help a great deal.
