TL;DR
Overall, this study found that good sleep hygiene practices are associated with better sleep across several age ranges, and support the importance of common US based recommendations that children of all ages should fall asleep independently, go to bed before 9:00 PM, have an established bedtime routine, include reading as part of their bed time routine, refrain from caffeine, and sleep in bedrooms without televisions.
