Parenting
Stick to the same bedtime every day, even on weekends. A regular schedule trains your child’s body clock, helping them fall asleep easily and wake up refreshed, making bedtime a smooth and stress-free process.

Set up relaxing activities like reading, soft music, or gentle stretching before bed. These calming rituals help your child’s body and mind recognize it’s time to wind down and get ready for restful sleep.

Stop screen use at least one hour before bedtime. Blue light from devices tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, which can make it harder for kids to relax and fall asleep at the right time.
Ensure your child’s room is dark, quiet, and cool. Use a comfortable mattress, blackout curtains, and white noise if needed, creating the perfect sleep-friendly environment that makes falling asleep easier.

Let your child run, jump, or play outside during the day. Physical activity helps tire their body and makes sleep easier. Just avoid intense activities in the evening to keep them from feeling too energized.

Avoid sugary snacks or caffeine like sodas in the evening. Offer a small, healthy snack such as a banana or warm milk before bed to help them feel calm, satisfied, and ready to sleep peacefully through the night.

Take your child outside for sunlight in the morning. Natural light helps set their internal clock, making it easier for them to feel awake during the day and tired at night, supporting a healthy sleep routine.

If your child has trouble falling or staying asleep, talk to a pediatrician or sleep specialist. Early help can fix sleep issues quickly, ensuring your child feels rested and happy and everyone gets better nights.
