Sleep Tips to help your family handle the Clocks Change

Warren Evans sleep naturally 5 top tips to help your family handle v the Clock v Change 1. Make change gradual Change bedtime over the course of one week or a weekend – the smaller the child the longer the period of change. Try relaxing breathing exercises if your child is finding it difficult to get to sleep. 2. Tire them Plan physical activity for the daytime and at out and wind them down night, dim the lights and close the curtains a half-hour or an hour before bedtime to encourage a sense that bedtime is coming. Black out blinds are helpful! 3. Adjust activities and practice what you preach Bath time, nap time and meal times also need to change inline with the new bedtime. Adjust your own schedule in the same way you change your children's. 4. Altering waking time If your child is a very early riser then move the bedtime back a half hour rather than an hour. You might get them to sleep an extra 30 minutes in the morning. It's worth a try! 5. Eat right for sleep Avoid sugary foods and drinks (and caffeine!) as they can affect the ability to fall asleep. Milk contains tryptophan which increases the amount of serotonin, a natural sedative. If your child MILK has a dairy intolerance then cherries can also aid sleep.
