Should Bedtime Change During School Holidays?
Tips for Managing Sleep During Holidays:
- Encourage Relaxation: Wind down before bed by reading or listening to calm music and avoid stimulating activities.
- Maintain Familiarity: Bring familiar sleep items like a special toy, pillow, or blanket when traveling to help your child feel comfortable.
- Protect Where They Sleep: Use Protect-A-Bed® Mattress Protectors and Pillow Protectors to shield against allergens and maintain a clean sleep environment, especially important if traveling.
- Address Bedwetting: If bedwetting is an issue, bring extra protectors to ensure quick changes and minimal disruption during the night.
As the holidays wind down, gradually adjust bedtime to the usual school schedule if needed.
