Sleep expert shares top tips for getting kids back into a routine after holidays
08.01.2023 - 19:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
With the Christmas and New Year's holidays now over and as little ones start to return to school, it can be tricky to get them back into a bedtime routine.
From the 6AM start on Christmas to the midnight bed time to bring in the New Year, the festive season could have a noticeable impact on a little one's sleep schedule. A study of 2,000 UK parents by DFS found that 31 percent of parents to five-to-eight-year-olds admit they struggle to get back into a good bedtime routine once term time starts.
The research also revealed that 23 percent of parents find it most difficult after the festive period as children want to stay up longer and be kept company until they fall asleep.
To help those struggling to get back into a routine, Lucy Shrimpton, founder of The Sleep Nanny, has shared some ways for parents to introduce better bedtime.
Lucy said: "A comfortable sleep space is essential for your little one to sleep well. We sleep better when it is dark, cool, and calm, so ensuring this is true for your little one’s bedroom is a great place to start."

The expert also said: "When it comes to temperature, a room that is too hot or too cold can make falling asleep difficult, around 18 degrees centigrade is optimal for sleep."
While your normal routine may have changed slightly as Christmas celebrations took place, by re-implementing a bedtime routine consisting of the same steps in the same order every evening it will help little ones stick to their body clock.
Lucy said: "Move away from the daytime
