Building Healthy Families: Healthy families get enough
sleep. How much is enough? Children 5 through 11 need
10 hours of sleep each night, teenagers need 8 to 9
hours. Not getting enough sleep or poor quality sleep
leads to problems in physical, emotional and psychological
heath, and even contributes to problems in family relationships.

A “Life Quote” from Lutherans for Life “The progress
of science is important. But the lives of individual
participants in scientific experiments are just as important.
A single human being cannot be sacrificed to advance
the interests of science.” Robin F. Wilson, JD, Washington
