Expert shares tips to help children return to a healthy sleep schedule for new school year
How to get your child back into a better sleep routine ahead of new school year
A sleep expert has offered advice to parents on establishing better sleep routines for children ahead of the new school year.
Dr Sophie Bostock, appearing onThis Morning, said that a child's body clock can be adjusted through consistent effort.
Her key recommendation is to prioritise a consistent wake-up time each day rather than focusing on bedtime.
She explained that morning activities like eating breakfast and physical movement signal to the brain to start the sleep cycle, leading to tiredness about 16 hours later.
