Expert-Backed Sleep Routines to Help Tired Families Rest Easy
Getting children to sleep can be a challenge for many families. Sleep problems in infants, toddlers, and older kids often leave both children and parents exhausted. Experts now highlight simple but effective ways to improve bedtime routines and create better sleep hygiene.
A consistent bedtime routine helps young children fall asleep more easily. Abhinav Singh, a sleep specialist and medical reviewer for SleepFoundation.org, supports this approach as part of broader sleep solutions for families. Keeping activities calm before bed also lowers cortisol, a stress hormone that disrupts rest.
Better sleep habits benefit both children and their families. Small changes, like adjusting room temperature or limiting screen time, can make bedtime smoother. With the right routine, children get the rest they need for good health and daily energy.
