Try to keep regular wake times, bedtimes, meal times, and daily rhythms. Consistency can make it easier for children to settle into sleep.
A simple bedtime routine like brushing teeth, reading a book, and dimming the lights can help children know it is time to wind down.
Turning off screens before bedtime may help children fall asleep more easily and improve sleep quality.
A comfortable, quiet, and calming sleep space can help support better rest for infants, children, and teens.
Teens often need more sleep than many families realize. Natural sleep patterns shift during adolescence, which can make it harder for teens to fall asleep early even though they still need adequate rest for school, sports, mood, and learning.
Making sleep a priority, limiting screens at night, and keeping a consistent schedule can be especially helpful during the teen years.
