Back-to-School Sleep Reset
Briefly

As summer ends, parents can help children return to consistent sleep schedules before school starts. Gradual adjustments to bedtime, moving it earlier by 15 to 30 minutes over several nights, help the body adjust smoothly. Establishing a calming bedtime routine—turning off screens, dimming lights, having a warm bath, brushing teeth, and reading—signals the body that it’s time for sleep. Consistent wake-up times further anchor the schedule, enhancing sleep quality, important for learning and mental health.
