Poor Sleep in Kids

DHA is a long chain omega 3 fat found in things like grass fed beef, wild game, eggs, wild fish and algae.  A recent study showed that lower blood levels of DHA was associated with poorer sleep in kids.  The kids were then supplemented with 600 mg/day of DHA (a fairly low dose) which led to fewer wake episodes and about an hour of extra sleep/night.
