A Good Night's Sleep Isn't Just for Babies
You need a good night's sleep at every age. Get tips on how to get to sleep, stay asleep and benefit from quality sleep.

When people have a baby, they spend a great deal of time planning for the child’s sleep, establishing a sleep scheduling, and even talking (or complaining) about whether or not the child—and therefore the parents—are getting good sleep. According to experts, good sleep should be maintained throughout all life stages, not just infancy, for optimum health.

In fact, poor sleep has been attributed to the development of certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, depression and heart disease.
