In this episode of Dr. Jim’s FastBraiin, Dr. Jim shares the importance of establishing bedtime routines with your FastBraiin child.  If you establish a consistent bedtime and lights-out time, your child’s body will eventually adapt to it. It may take a week or two, but the outcome will be worth it – falling asleep at the same time every night and waking up refreshed and empowered to navigate their day. However, bedtime routines should not solely focus on going to bed. They should begin with a series of preparatory steps, such as getting in comfortable sleepwear, spending some time reading in bed, and engaging in meaningful connection and conversation before a set time for lights-out. Implementing a bedtime routine is for the benefit of the whole family.

Sleep plays a vital role in your FastBraiin child's overall well-being, physical health, and cognitive function.  However, just like adults, your child may be struggling with getting enough sleep. In this episode of Dr. Jim’s FastBraiin, Dr. Jim discusses the importance of sleep and two simple tips that make a significant difference in helping your FastBraiin child go to bed without a fight and ensure they get the quality sleep needed to thrive in school, intramural activities, and at home and in their relationships.
