Getting the right amount of sleep matters for children's bodies and brains, according to a pediatric psychologist at Christus Children's.

Dr. Kelli Franco, a pediatric psychologist at Christus Children's, said poor sleep can affect a child's ability to learn and consolidate memory.

She noted that children respond to sleep deprivation differently than adults do.
