All children need a good night’s sleep. It’s not only a time for
rest, but sleep gives your child’s brain a chance to sort and
store information from their day. When kids don’t get enough
sleep or quality sleep, it can affect how they feel, act, and do
in school. Our pediatric sleep medicine specialists are here to
get to the bottom of your child’s sleep problems and set your
child on the path to a good night’s rest. Good Sleep Habits
Consider the following recommendations to help your child
develop good habits for getting to sleep on his or her own. -
Keep your child’s room neat and clean — responsibility for this
task will vary depending on your child’s age and abilities. -
Put a nightlight or small light within your child’s reach. - A
quiet fan or humidifier may allow for some “white noise” to
filter out the noise coming from the rest of the house. - Place
a few of your child’s favorite items around the bed so it
becomes sort of a "mini-home." - Have a bedside table or shelf
stocked with your child’s favor
