Little Sleepy Head Shares Study-Based Sleep Guidance with Parents

Little Sleepy Head has long been an advocate of calm bedtime routines to promote better sleep among kids and is now sharing new advice presented by recent research.

Valencia, USA – August 3, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Little Sleepy Head premium kids bedtime products such as toddler pillows and pillowcases can now be used in an even more effective and research-based bedtime routine to promote improved rest at night.

New research is showing that traditional bedtimes may work for some children, but not all. The reason is that while there are overall recommendations for the amount of sleep a healthy child requires, that number varies from one kid to the next. This can help to explain why parents of kids aged 2 through 10 years old often become resistant to bedtime. While some may simply be enjoying their time playing, others are genuinely not tired. In that latter case, the child’s bedtime may actually be too early for his or her waking time based on his or her unique sleep requirements.

The researchers stated that in these cases, battling the tantrum at bedtime may not be worth it as the child may not have the biological need for that amount of sleep.

The key is in coming to understand each individual child’s own sleep needs. Every child is not the same. Even siblings can have very different sleep needs. This can cause those children to resist bedtime because they aren’t tired and, as a result will only end up lying awake for a while – possibly even for several hours.

Instead of setting a bedtime based on trying to ensure a child has the maximum recommended amount of time for his or her age group, parents may find that determining a child’s own unique sleep needs and catering to those on a very consistent basis may be a better idea.

Little Sleepy Head recommends incorporating a consistent bedtime routine every night at the child’s unique bedtime. This winding down pattern can include bath time with the Gentle Hair and Body Wash, story time, and talking quietly while cuddled up in bed with the Little Sleepy Head Toddler Pillow and a soft Toddler Pillowcase. By repeating these calming behaviors while avoiding bright lights and device screens, a child’s own bedtime can support better and more restful sleep every night.
