Sleep Tips for Children

 

Did you know? A good night's sleep is vital for your child's happiness, focus, and overall well-being. At Appin Medical Centre, we believe in supporting your child’s health with practical tips for better sleep.

Here’s how much sleep your child needs:

• Ages 3 to 5: 10–13 hours
• Ages 6 to 13: 9–11 hours
• Ages 14 to 17: 8–10 hours

Lack of sleep can impact learning, mood, and behavior. Here are some tips to help your child sleep better:
✅ Set a Sleep Schedule: Stick to consistent bedtimes, even on weekends.
✅ Create a Bedtime Routine: Include relaxing activities like reading or a warm bath.
✅ Limit Technology: Turn off screens at least an hour before bedtime.
✅ Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment: Keep the room dark, quiet, and cozy.
✅ Avoid Stimulants: Reduce caffeine and sugar intake in the evening.

Good sleep is as important as healthy eating and exercise. For more tips on your child’s health, contact us or visit our website.
