Research tells us that children in
general need to get more sleep, but now new findings indicate that kids from
lower-income families suffer more from sleep deprivation than kids in middle-
and upper-income families. Auburn University psychologist Mona El-Sheikh wants
to know why, so she and her team are studying childrens sleeping patterns and
how lack of sleep correlates with the stress factors in the children's lives
and their ability to learn.
