Could these yoga poses help your child sleep better?

For some children, getting to sleep easily and having a restful night's sleep is a nightly struggle. In fact, a majority of the children in the United States don't get the sleep they need.

According to a 2004 poll about children's sleep, 69 percent of children under the age of 10 struggle with sleep-related issues, including not feeling rested, struggling to wake up in the morning, feeling tired during the day or waking too early.
