@bumploveug I need to interest in a very crucial topic: Sleep deprivation in children; the silent epidemic . I can share the scientific dangers and educate parents. It is a time bomb!. Am a medical doctor but more so a sleep advocate.
Thank you

[Anne Shikanda @anne_shikanda]

@AntonyWalyaula @SimonKaggwaNjal @Educ_SportsUg @GovUganda For us we slept enough when we are young, that's why we are resilient and successful.

[Simon Kaggwa Njala @SimonKaggwaNjal]

Congratulations to Her Royal Majesty. I wish to invite her to spearhead the #LetChildrenSleep campaign.

[Anne Shikanda @anne_shikanda]

@SimonKaggwaNjal Thank you so much @SimonKaggwaNjal for this drive.
The public needs to understand that there are very serious consequences of lack of sleep in children. Just to mention but a few stunted brain growth, poor immunity, depression, suicide tendencies, inattention, accident prone etc.

[Simon Kaggwa Njala @SimonKaggwaNjal]

So pleased to bring onboard experts in our ongoing #LetChildrensleep campaign. Thanks a lot Dr ⁦@anne_shikanda⁩ for reaching out.

@AntonyWalyaula @SimonKaggwaNjal @Educ_SportsUg @GovUganda No Antony, scientifically brains develop in the first 10 years of life, during this time sleep is mandatory. They can start waking up early later in life

[Antony Walyaula @AntonyWalyaula]

@SimonKaggwaNjal @Educ_SportsUg @GovUganda That is how you will spoil your children. Allow your learners to experience the challenges you faced to succeed. However, where you feel your children need freedom, do not seek solidarity for that unpopular slogan."
