As a parent, we’ve all experienced what happens when a child is overly tired. The tantrums, irritability, erratic behavior and worst of all, the inability to fall asleep because they are too tired. Tired brains can bring out challenging behavior in children which can make it extremely difficult for them and you at bedtime. When children are overly tired they produce more cortisol which in turn makes them hyper. With an excess for cortisol in their systems, children are more prone to frequent night wakings, earlier wake ups, and short or broken naps. Setting up Sleep Goals for your family can help get your children into healthy sleep habits that will last a lifetime.

Another is having a comfortable environment to sleep in, meaning purchasing the best kid mattress available and making sure there isn't too much light or noise in the room.
The third is one most parents may not know of. It's adopting exercise into their daily routines. Studies show that this physical activity influences your child's sleep patterns.
