Tips To Help Parents Manage Children's Sleep Time

To ensure physical and intellectual development, a sufficient and quality sleep is very important for children. So, let’s consult with American International Hospital (AIH Clinic) for some tips to help parents manage their children’s sleep time effectively. 

► Maintain a consistent sleep schedule: A consistent bedtime routine can help promote a consistent sleep schedule. About an hour before bedtime, start a bedtime routine with your child such as changing pajamas, brushing teeth, turning off the lights, and reading to your child a story. For older children, parents should ensure that children stop using mobile phones, computers and televisions that emit blue light that can interfere with sleep during this time. 

 ► Promote healthy daytime habits: Daytime behavior can affect how well you sleep at night at any age. Encourage your child to participate in daily physical games or exercise, as well as eat healthy, nutritious foods. 

► Make sure the bedroom is cool and dark: An important part of sleep is adjusting the bedroom conditions to suit the weather. Turn on a fan or air conditioner that is cool and not too cold. Consider hanging blackout curtains to prevent the sun from waking your baby too soon. 

► Adjust sleep schedule before going back to school: After a long period of not going to school, if your child wakes and falls asleep later than usual, start adjusting your child’s sleep time gradually. That way, the day back to school, your child will avoid drowsiness and distraction.  

Apply the above sleep care tips immediately to give your child the best rest time.
