Fall Daylight Savings Sleep Tips

Here are a few tips to help you and your little ones adjust for the fall time change:

*Put your child to bed at his/her regular bedtime the night before the clocks change.

*Your child is likely to wake up a little earlier than he/she normally does (possibly 1 hour earlier according to the new clock). Try your best to start your day after 6am.

*Plan your activities and meals according to the new time.

*If your child is still napping, try to make sure he/she takes a good nap(s) so that he/she can make it to his/her regular bedtime according to the new clock.

*If your child is no longer napping, do your best to put him/her to bed at his/her regular bedtime according to the new clock. If you think he/she cannot make it to his/her normal bedtime according to the new clock, and then move his/her bedtime by 15 to 30 minutes for a few days until he/she adjusts.

With some patience and consistency your child should adjust to the new time in just a few days.
