‘Early to bed and early to rise makes man healthy, wealthy & wise’ is not just a proverb but a universal truth. Studies have proven time and again that sleeping and waking up early has physiological and psychological benefits.

Some are given below:

• The mind & body are fresh to receive and respond.
• You get time to exercise and stay healthy
• Sleep quality improves
• You’ll be calmer & less stressed during the day
• You’ll get more done in a day-productivity is top-notch!
• You won’t feel fatigue easily and will accomplish with ease

Now you would think why is all this important for toddlers or young children; since they have no responsibilities or chores to perform.
