Quebec Parents Proactively Enhancing Children’s Sleep in New Back-to-School Survey

🌙 Unveiling the Power of Sleep: Dormez-vous Unearths Deep Dedication of Canadian Parents to Child’s Sleep Health 🌟

Shattering conventional notions, Dormez-vous, Quebec’s premier specialty sleep retailer, has unveiled riveting insights from a groundbreaking survey, illuminating a profound nexus between sleep, mental vitality, and academic triumph in youngsters. While sleep’s significance is universally acknowledged, its impact on children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being is emerging as a game-changer.

Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), an authoritative voice in community mental health, attests that insufficient sleep can trigger irritability, dampened moods, and lethargy – all formidable adversaries of scholastic achievement in children.

“Research underscores that ample sleep fortifies adolescent mental health, and fuels academic excellence,” affirmed Margaret Eaton, National CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association. “Restorative sleep in children propels brain development, cognitive functions, working memory, and emotional equilibrium.”

Fortunately, Quebec parents are scripting a resounding success story by actively fostering immaculate sleep hygiene for their offspring.

🛌🏼 Quebec Parents Pave the Path to Sleep Nirvana The Dormez-vous survey, expertly conducted by Leger, serves as an awe-inspiring revelation. An impressive 82% of Quebec parents ardently believe their little ones enjoy a veritable slumber. This sentiment outshines the national average of 77%.

The credit is attributed to two pivotal parental practices – establishing a structured bedtime routine and cocooning their children in a cozy sleep haven. Bedtime rituals emerge as a bedrock, with 77% of parents affirming their children’s adherence to a prescribed routine. This feat is bolstered by the fact that nearly nine out of ten Quebec youngsters luxuriate in their private sleeping haven, with parental insight underscoring that a comfortable space ranks high among the reasons behind their child’s tranquil slumber. Moreover, parents sow the seeds of nocturnal excellence by ensuring a dim, cool, and serene sleeping environment (49%), nurturing the habit of sleeping in their own bed (44%) and cementing a soothing, consistent bedtime routine (43%).

“Sleep isn’t just vital; it’s the quintessence of both mental and physical prowess,” declared Stewart Schaefer, President and CEO of Dormez-vous. “We stand in awe of Quebec parents, architects of a sleep-friendly ecosystem, a fitting prologue to the upcoming academic season.”

Survey results illuminate a sizable group of parents sculpting the stage for improved academic prowess and holistic well-being by harnessing the power of sleep. The advantages of a restful night encompass boundless energy throughout the day (80%), heightened focus and concentration at school (71%), mornings kickstarted with a buoyant mood (68%), reduced stress and anxiety (60%), and commendable scholastic performance (59%).

For respondents who deemed their children’s sleep inadequate, late-night awakenings (51%), erratic bedtimes (39%), and undue gadget engagement (32%) surfaced as the chief culprits.

With the educational voyage beckoning, parents must be vigilant architects of slumber, shaping a robust foundation for their children’s success this academic year.
