What are Some Effective Strategies for Improving Sleep?
Several strategies can help improve sleep in children:
Establish a bedtime routine: Consistency is key. Activities like reading a book or taking a warm bath can help signal that it's time to wind down. Limit screen time: Avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime to prevent interference with melatonin production. Healthy diet: Avoid giving children caffeinated or sugary foods and drinks close to bedtime. Create a conducive sleep environment: Ensure the child’s bedroom is cool, quiet, and dark. Blackout curtains or white noise machines can be helpful. Physical activity: Regular physical activity can help children fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep.
