How to improve your child’s sleep?


For the sound sleep of your child, you would definitely do anything in your limits. So, here are a few tips that can help you induce good sleep for your child every night.

Create a bedtime routine which does not vary on weekdays or weekends. A slight variation of up to one hour is ok, but try to be regular on this.

Give the right sleeping atmosphere to your child with room well darkened, a well-cushioned bed, and adequate room temperature.

Give a warm bath to your child before bedtime or read a relaxing story that appears soothing.
Do not give heavy meals just before the bedtime

After-dinner activity should be light which does not involve much physical or mental engagement. The child should not be triggered anyway just before sleep time.

Keep your child away from TV, games or mobile phones at least two hours prior to the bed.
The bedroom should not be noisy.

In some cases, an underlying medical condition, mental trauma or pain can be the reason for the child to remain awake at night. There are pain relievers or other medicines for the symptom relief which can help induce the sleep. You should get your child checked with a pediatrician for such reasons and seek appropriate treatment.




A few children exhibit extreme sleeplessness which might not be good for them at all and the reason is difficult to find out being a parent. For such cases, you should consider meeting a doctor who can give the right advice or treatment, if needed. The doctor might suggest some medicines, as well, which is safe for the child. You can place an online order for medicine home delivery and continue the treatment as suggested.
