Unlimited Weekend Media

Unlimited Weekend Media

Internet and cell phones often delay going to sleep, an essential step for learning, attention and mood. At the least, all electronics should be locked up away from the child's bedroom at bedtime to avoid temptation or sleep interruption from less well-managed peers. Allowing unlimited media use on weekends disrupts the biological clock for sleep, making falling asleep and getting up harder the rest of the week.
