Getting Back to School Sleeping Routine


School is that time of the year to get up early before the break of dawn. It is the time when crying feats will become a routine for kids who still want to doze off for five minutes which ends up for an hour. It is the time when parents have to wake up at least 30 minutes prior to waking their kids up to prepare breakfast and lunch.


Here’s are two things you can do to prepare the whole household when school time comes.



Practice early



Practice really makes perfect sense when you’re sleeping. Two weeks before school starts, talk with your kids and let them know that it’s that time of the year again- they need to be in their beds and sleeping by 8 in the evening as opposed to let’s say, 10 or 11 during summer. Sleeping early ahead of the first day at school will re-condition the body and mind to automatically shut down once the scheduled time comes.



Talk to kids about sleeping early



Before making them sleep early, talk to them first. Discuss with them why they need to be in bed an hour after dinner even if school won’t be starting in four weeks. Let them know that they need to teach their bodies to sleep early or else they would have a hard time doing so the night before the first day of school.
