Easy Tips for Improving Your Children Sleep

·         Establish a regular time for bed each night and do not away from it. Similarly, the waking time should not differ from weekday to weekend by more than one to one and a half hours.
·         Create a relaxing, friendly bedtime routine, such as giving your child a warm bath or reading a short story.
·         Do not give children any food or drinks with caffeine less than six hours before bedtime.
·         Make sure the temperature in the bedroom is comfortable and that the bedroom is dark.
·         Make sure the noise level in the house is low or soft.
·         Avoid giving children large meals close to sleep time.
·         Make after-dinner playtime a relaxing time as too much activity close to bedtime can keep children awake.
·         There should be no television, computer, mobile phone, radio, or music playing while the child is going to sleep. TV and video games should be turned off at least one hour prior to bedtime.
·         Infants and children should be put to bed when they appear tired but still awake (rather than falling asleep in their parent's arms, or in another room). Parents should avoid getting into bed with a child in order to get them to sleep. 
Consult to your child's health care provider if these tips don't help or if you need additional guidance.
