How to relieve a 10-year-old child’s poor sleep?

The importance of sleep to children's physical growth and development is self-evident. However, many children now have poor sleep, especially in the middle of the night, they may suddenly wake up or talk in their sleep. When careful parents discover this, they are usually panicked and don’t know what to do. Today, the editor mainly wants to introduce several methods that can improve sleep quality. Let’s take a look.

1. Go to bed early. It is best for children to have a fixed bedtime at night, because insisting on going to bed early or going to bed at the same time is very helpful in improving children's sleep quality. It is recommended that children's bedtime be set between 19:30-20:30.

2. Go to bed at the same time. Although in the eyes of us adults, children have no concept of time, they do have it in their bodies. Making sure they go to bed on time every night can help them get into a sleep routine both physically and mentally. Sleeping time can be delayed appropriately on weekends or in the summer evenings, but the rest of the time should be kept consistent as much as possible. If you delay bedtime, it will be difficult for your child to adjust to his or her normal biological clock again.

3. Create a comfortable sleeping environment. Make sure your child's room is comfortable, keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The room should be able to control the light by adding lampshades or blinds as appropriate. Soft lighting can make your child feel better, and a fluffy pillow can also make him feel comfortable. But don't let his bed be cluttered with toys.

4. Set up a bedtime routine. Doing a few simple activities before bed can better help your child relax. A typical example is taking a bath, putting on pajamas, brushing teeth, and reading a storybook before bed.

Here I have finished talking about the more effective methods to promote sleep. Generally speaking, as long as parents can follow the above suggestions, they can help their children overcome sleep problems to a great extent. However, the editor would like to remind you that if the symptoms are serious, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
