[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strongest students I know, seemingly least stressed, are kids with significant sports time commitments. They seem to prioritize their time to get it all done and still get enough sleep. I think lack of sleep is a huge part of the stress kids are experiencing. [/quote]

No the kid with a sport get less sleep and no free time for anything. [/quote]

Disagree. My athletes prioritized sleep. They didn’t do a ton of social things- but their sport is very social and they also did school activities. [/quote]

Is your kid’s social sport a high school sport? Club sport?

As much as my teen would like to prioritize sleep there is not enough hours in the day. But he loves his sport(s) so not much you can do about it. 2 sport elite athlete.
