Success in the classroom begins with a restful night\u2019s sleep<\/h2>\n

\"EdithFor all children and students, maintaining a regular bedtime schedule is important during the school year. More than 100 years ago, the importance of a sleep routine even applied during the childhood of the eventual hostess of the famed Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina, Edith Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n

George Vanderbilt created a castle in the mountains of Western North Carolina in the late 1800s and then brought his bride, Edith Stuyvesant Dresser, to his treasure-filled home in 1898. Before this, however, Edith had grown up under the watchful eyes of her governess, Mademoiselle Marie Rambaud, while living with her grandmother in Newport, RI.<\/p>\n

Edith\u2019s grandmother was a member of high society, throwing many lavish parties at her New York and Newport homes. The memoirs of Pauline Dresser Merrill, Edith\u2019s younger sister, recalls that she and Edith would climb out on the roof over their home\u2019s dining room and look down at these parties through the skylights. With this in mind, it\u2019s easy to imagine that there were probably nights when a young Edith would ask to stay up just a little longer. And who could blame her? She lived in one of the United States\u2019 most fashionable neighborhoods, with her four siblings and an almost endless series of amusements close by. It was Marie Rambaud\u2019s job to keep the girls in line though, and Edith\u2019s governess understood the importance of a schedule to raising healthy, successful children. Once Edith snuggled into her luxurious bed and pulled up the covers, we can only imagine her efforts to stay awake would likely have given way to a delightful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
