*Canadian kids are inactive and may be losing sleep over it ParticipACTION releases 2016 Report Card and for the first time, assigns a sleep grade*

*TORONTO (ONTARIO) June 16, 2016* – If you think kids can get a little physical activity and then play video games into the wee hours, yet remain healthy, you’re in for a rude awakening. There are important relationships among sleep, physical activity and sedentary behaviour and new research shows that sedentary lifestyles are connected to a creeping ‘sleepidemic’ in Canadian children and youth. That is why, for the first time, the *2016 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth* assigns a grade to sleep and includes new *Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth*. A first of their kind in the world, the guidelines outline what a healthy 24-hour period looks like for children and youth.
