Sleep is one of the most important parts of a child’s development, yet so many kids aren’t getting enough of it.

What happens in the hour leading up to sleep matters too. Screens and artificial light late at night can make it harder for the body to wind down and prepare for rest.

A few simple changes can help create a better environment for quality sleep:

📵 No screens for an hour before bed
🌙 Keep the bedroom cool and as dark as possible
🔴 Use dim, warm or red light at night when needed
⏰ Keep bedtime consistent
