Zack & Ali Products are Better for Kids Than Device Use at Bedtime

Zack & Ali products are designed to be used with healthy sleep hygiene, which can mean eliminating the use of devices and screens throughout a child’s bedtime routine.

Zack & Ali products are meant to help kids to be able to settle down and become comfortable and restful so they can fall asleep more quickly and easily, but establishing healthy sleep hygiene as a whole is also important.

A growing body of research has found that the use of devices with screens causes harm to a child’s (and an adult’s) ability to sleep at night. Therefore, many experts are now recommending that kids no longer use these gadgets as children wind down to go to sleep.

A team of researchers from the University of Alberta School of Public Health recently published the results of a study involving the participation of 2,335 fifth graders and their parents. What the researchers determined was that devices such as cell phones, tablets, video games, computers and TVs used within an hour of bedtime – particularly when used in the bedroom – has a direct impact on a child’s sleep quantity and quality.

Cell phones reduced sleep by about 11 minutes, while computer use slashed 10 minutes from a child’s sleep and TV hacked nearly 8 minutes off a kid’s nightly rest. The more devices a child used within that hour ahead of bedtime, the larger the impact on sleep. According to Paul Veugelers, one of the study’s lead authors, that amount of lost sleep can add up, particularly when it happens on a regular basis. “If you have a classroom full of kids and everybody has 10 minutes short of sleep or has more devices, everybody has 20 minutes less of sleep – that makes a big difference,” he said.

That said, kids who took part in soothing activities ahead of bedtime, such as reading a book, and who were not exposed to devices with screens slept longer and their rest was of higher quality.

Zack & Ali has always been a promoter of healthy bedtime habits for kids. This includes the child’s bedding. The brand’s hypoallergenic toddler pillows and toddler pillowcases are designed for the perfect size, fill and snuggle level for young sleepers.

Using the brand’s products as a part of healthy sleep hygiene can help children to get the most out of their rest at night, every night, particularly when devices are left out of their bedrooms.
