Bedtime without a struggle? Impossible! Or is it not?

Putting children to bed on time can become one of the biggest challenges for parents because often kids have no intention of going to sleep, parents plead, children resist, argue, and in the end, everyone gets tired, loses patience, and goes to bed frustrated. This is not how you imagine the evening routine, right? Don't worry, neither do we, and there is a solution!

The Benefits of Introducing an Evening Routine

In a large international study, researchers found that better sleep quality is directly correlated with consistently adhering to an evening routine. According to the study, children who follow a consistent bedtime routine fall asleep faster and earlier, wake up less frequently during the night, and sleep longer compared to their peers who do not follow such a fixed routine. Another crucial finding from research is that the younger the introduction of the evening routine and the more days per week it is adhered to, the better the quality of sleep it results in for these children. In other words, for better and longer sleep, it is advisable to introduce the evening routine as early as possible and maintain it for as long as possible.
