• Talk to your kid about the importance of sleep and the need for at least eight hours’ of sleep on school nights.
• Encourage regular exercise; at least 20 minutes three times a week will help them fall asleep better.
• Suggest a reduction of caffeine intake that means drinking fewer fizzy drinks such as coke as well as coffee.
• Show them that eating too much or too little close to bedtime can an over fill or empty the stomach which prevents sleep onset, or causes discomfort throughout the night.
