Our confidence and sense of love are both strengthened by our families.

They are the rock solid pillars that support us and keep us going so that we can improve as individuals. 

With that being said, we should protect our family and it starts at home–like encouraging them to practice healthy sleeping methods.

Sleep is a key component to overall health. Everybody needs to rest; you, your loved ones--even energetic kids.  

Here are some tips for protecting your family’s good sleep every night:

Set a family bedtime routine.

This will help the the whole daily relax before bed, and it can also boost your bond with the little ones (ex. Bedtime stories, short meditation etc.)

Prepare a comfortable mattress and pillow for everyone.

Make sure the mattress is soft enough for comfort while being firm enough for support. Your family will sleep soundly and wake up feeling rested as a result.

Make it a rule: NO electronics before bedtime.

Gadgets will keep the entire household awake the whole night and even keep you from falling asleep as quickly as possible!

Limit your screen time as a family too, it’s essential that everyone knows it is their responsibility to do so.

These 3 simple tips can help you protect your family from the effects of sleep deprivation–there are more of those where they came from! It's time to rethink your family's sleep habits, begin by what you learned today and make sure everyone gets the rest they need so they can function at their best during the day.
