Another helpful tip is to encourage them to sleep in accordance with their natural rhythms. They naturally feel ready for sleep later than adults and therefore wake later too. I have heard that letting them sleep in on weekends isn't so helpful but 20 minute power naps are.
Such a good point, just hard to do when they are typically bound by a school schedule that doesn't allow for sleeping later during the week. And power naps are great too!
