Pediatricians, teachers, and
parents can find resources for helping children get the sleep they need at "Mission Z", the new
and expanded Web site to educate young children about the importance of
adequate nighttime sleep. The site, hosted by Garfield, the Campaign
"spokescat," also features an online mystery for children to solve, along with
other games and downloadable features that provide information about the
importance of sleep.
The site is a part of the NHLBI's
"Sleep Well. Do Well. Star Sleeper Campaign," a 5-year educational initiative
of the Institute's National Center on Sleep Disorders Research and Paws, Inc.,
the corporate entity behind Garfield, to educate young children - and the
adults who most influence them - that children need at least nine hours of
sleep each night for their health and safety and to do their best in school and
other activities.
