Valencia, USA – June 6, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Little Sleepy Head is helping parents to create a more effective and natural bedtime routine for their children in order to avoid the inclination toward melatonin supplement use.

Sleep and pediatric specialists have recently released reports suggesting that the melatonin supplement trend may be fashionable but it may not be the healthiest choice. The over-the-counter supplement is being administered to children on an increasing basis without adequate information or dosage.

Experts have cautioned parents against unnecessary use of melatonin supplements for children struggling to sleep, as research has yet to determine the long-term risks of the practice. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced within the brain. It plays a vital role in the body’s natural sleeping and waking cycle, often called the circadian rhythm. There is a belief that people – kids and adults alike – who struggle to sleep have imbalanced melatonin production.

This has led millions of people to administer a supplement form of the hormone to encourage a healthier sleeping pattern. However, this is occurring before the long term impact of this supplementation has been fully understood, particularly among children as most research has been conducted on people aged 55 years or older.

The appeal of melatonin is that it is a naturally occurring substance, and it is seen as a less addictive alternative to herbal supplements or insomnia medications. Still, it is not at all known whether or not it is safe for kids, regardless of whether or not its addiction risk is lower.

Solid pediatric study has, however, shown that sticking to a very consistent bedtime routine including calming behaviors such as ending screen time, bathing, brushing teeth, dimming lights, saying prayers, meditating, listening to a bedtime story and cuddling up in soft, clean bedding can encourage a naturally occurring healthy circadian rhythm that doesn’t rely on supplementation.

Little Sleepy Head products can play a central role in establishing this type of healthy bedtime routine. For instance, the Gentle Hair & Body Wash is not only easy on even the most sensitive skin, but its all-natural and botanical ingredients include lavender and chamomile which have scents that are known for their calming properties.

Similarly, the toddler pillows and Little Sleepy Head pillowcase lines are all soft and snuggly, which helps to create a relaxing environment while getting settled in bed and while drifting off to sleep.
