Students across the Rio Grande Valley will head back to the classroom soon.

The transition may be tough if they've been sleeping in over the summer break.

A pediatrician recommends getting the students back on a sleep schedule now.

South Texas Health System pediatrician Dr. Omar Peña said he recommends getting the students to sleep by 10 p.m. to start being able to wake up by 7 a.m. by the time the new school year starts. 

Doctors also recommend keeping up with school-required vaccinations.
