Rest To Recharge : A Story About the Importance of Sleep

Rather than get all the night time sleep he needs to keep his body healthy and mind alert, Gabe stays awake into the wee hours playing games and watching videos. Now, it's taking a toll. He nods off during class, he's sluggish on the soccer field, and he's an all-around grouch. His energy is zapped, like a battery about to die.

To help her son get much-needed shuteye, Mum lays down the law – Gabe cannot use or access any electronics between bedtime and morning breakfast. But when Gabe breaks the rule on night one, his alarm clock, named Buzz, comes to life. Buzz reminds Gabe he should be sleeping, not playing, and promises Gabe he'll feel better, think better, and perform better if he just relaxes and rests.

Will Gabe really listen to a talking clock, and will he stick to Mum's rule? Or will he choose more sleepless nights and exhausted days?

REST TO RECHARGE offers a light-hearted look at a serious issue – the power of sleep and its ability to heal, rejuvenate, and energize the body and the mind! A special tips page written specifically for adults offers suggestions on how to help children develop better sleep habits.
