It is no secret that sometimes parents, putting their child to bed, fall asleep first themselves. And it is not so much a matter of fatigue, but of mistakes.
If a child cannot fall asleep in his own bed for a long time, there are at least four reasons for this.
Experts explained what went wrong and how to fix the situation.
Reason one
If you lead a passive lifestyle or while away the time watching cartoons before going to bed, then the child will definitely not give up quickly.
Physical activity is necessary – games, exercises, sports, regular walks. In a nutshell – movement is necessary.
Reason two
But excessive activity before bedtime will not improve the situation either. It happens that children start frolicking and laughing in the evening, they get a second wind and they don’t want to sleep at all because of this.
Therefore, it is important to put children to bed at the same time and be sure to take into account the characteristics of their nervous system.
Reason three
If a child has overslept during the day, then putting him to bed at 9:00 pm will be useless.
It is not difficult to determine the cause: in this case, your night's rest may also change - your sleep will become intermittent and restless.
Reason four
Interior lighting, night lights, street lights – all of this carries a negative charge and disrupts the production of melatonin.
If a child is afraid to sleep without a night light, then you need to use lamps with a dim yellow light.
