sleep latino coupleFor Sleep Awareness Month in April, let’s use #SaludTues on April 11, 2017, to explore how much Latinos sleep (or don’t sleep), why sleep is key for good health, and how you and your family can improve sleeping habits.

We’ll open the floor to questions on sleep like:

  • Why is it good to have a daily bedtime?
  • Are Latino kids sleeping enough?
  • What are some ways to create better sleep habits?

Be sure to use the hashtag #SaludTues to follow the conversation on Twitter and share your strategies and resources that can help Latinos enjoy regular rest.
