Sleep Tips for Kids
Let’s Make Bedtime Better
Wondering why your little buddy isn’t sleeping well? The Stanford Sleep Lab shared some super cool tips that might help your body.
1. Bye-Bye Screens!
Did you know phones and tablets can mess up sleep? The light they give off makes it hard for your body to know it’s bedtime. Try taking a break from screens at least one hour before bedtime. Read a book or do something calm instead.
2. Keep a Sleep Schedule!
Different bedtimes confuse your body. The scientists say pick a bedtime and stick to it every day, even on weekends. This helps your body know when it’s time to sleep, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling awesome.
3. Cozy Room, Happy Sleep!
Make your room comfy! Is it too bright or too hot? The Stanford Sleep Lab says a cool room with dim lights is key. Use curtains that block out light if it’s too bright. And make sure your bed is cozy with nice blankets and pillows.
