5 year Old

Five-year-olds are in a wonderful age group; they are either about to start school or have already started.

The majority of 5-year-olds no longer nap during the day, yet they still need 11–13 hours of sleep at night.

Consider giving your five-year-old an extra twelve hours of sleep before their morning wake-up call. Therefore, your child's bedtime should be about 7 p.m..if they have to get up at 7 a.m.

Additionally, if it takes your child some time to stop napping, don't worry. Just be ready for an extremely exhausted child upon returning from school. Including quiet time after school for students who have just stopped napping is beneficial.

Preschoolers' bedtime ritual (ages 4-5)

Your child will need to obtain their full amount of sleep at nighttime if they are giving up their midday nap.

For this reason, you might need to adjust your child's bedtime earlier than you had planned. Even so, you ought to base it at about twelve hours before they have to wake up.

By installing blackout curtains to make their room darker, you can assist them in going to bed on time.

Example of a preschooler's bedtime schedule

Between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m. Bath time, tooth brushing, hair combing,

6:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Storytime, bedtime reading, and lullabies begin at 6:45 p.m. It's time to say goodnight, turn out the lights, and turn on the white noise machine or music.

Kids might become weary and prepared for bed if a regular bedtime routine is established for them.

Don't give up if your child has trouble going asleep at first; they will eventually get used to the earlier bedtime.
