Thanks daylight savings, now my kiddo is fighting bedtime!
If this is you, your not alone. Increased daylight before bed creates some biological challenges when it comes to sleep. In order for our bodies to start to release melatonin (the sleep hormone) we need to be exposed to darkness 20-40 minutes before we can successfully fall asleep.
💫Invest in a quality blackout window covering solution to ensure that no little peeks of daylight are coming into the room. (This also helps with daytime naps too!)
💫Try some calming pre-bedtime activities in the dark. Shadow puppets, bath with dim lighting and glow sticks in the tub or reading with flashlights/low light lamp.
💫Have some bedtime snacks that promote calmness and melatonin production.
💫Be patient, your working with biological matters and not strong will ❤️
