Getting back into a school-year sleep routine doesn't have to be complicated.
Kids ages 6–12 need 9–12 hours of sleep a night. Teens ages 13–18 need 8–10 hours. Kids who stick to a regular bedtime are less likely to feel tired during the day.
If school's already back in session, it's not too late to reset. Start shifting bedtime a little earlier each night until it sticks.

August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).

For 25 years, IOAD has brought people together to remember those who have died from overdose, support people affected by substance use, and take action to save lives.

Behind every statistic is a person — someone loved, valued, and missed. This year’s theme, “25 Years On. Still Needed.”

CDC is marking IOAD with a continued call to action: Still Needed. Still Taking Action. Still Saving Lives.

Overdose is preventable. You can help by:
- Learning the signs of overdose.
- Carrying naloxone and knowing how to use it.
- Promoting respect by using person-centered language.
- Supporting access to treatment and recovery services.
- Sharing evidence-based overdose prevention resources.
Remember. Support. Prevent.
