Hello Cambridge Families,
Hope you are all having a peaceful day!
I'm wondering if everyone is getting a good night's sleep? Having a bedtime ritual is such an important part of helping your body recognize it's time to sleep so it can relax. Today's post is a list of ways to help you sleep better. Find the link for an animated bedtime story at the bottom of the post. It's a story you can watch or just listen to so your body knows it's time for bed.
1. Set up a regular bedtime
routine with a story and a quiet chat.
2. Relax before bedtime
by reading a book, listening to gentle music or practicing deep breathing.
3. Keep regular sleep
and wake times to help keep your child’s body clock in a regular pattern.
5. Make sure your child
feels safe at night by avoiding scary TV shows, movies, and computer games
6. Check noise and light
in your child’s bedroom. A quiet, dimly lit space is important for good sleep.
Avoid blue lights from televisions, phones and tablets.
7. Eat the right amount
at the right time. Try to eat dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime.8. Get plenty of natural
light in the day.
8. Encourage your child to spend time outside. Physical activity
improves sleep quality and duration.
