Parents make bedtime routines and carry out(执行) strict rules about nighttime.But in fact,these measures(措施) aren't enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn't just about carrying out stricter bedtime.It actually requires more than that.In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need,both parents and schools should make an effort.
