Many people struggle with falling asleep or staying asleep. Some parents find this to be the case with their children too. Insomnia can be caused by common issues today, such as chronic inflammation and high blood sugar because of the standard American diet.
Too much screen time on the phone, tablet, or tv at night is also a culprit. The blue light emitted by these screens tells our brains it’s daytime and produces hormones to wake us up. If you’re a parent, your kids could interfere with YOUR sleep. Kids can have sleep issues, and you wake up when they wake up.
Research shows that almost THREE QUARTERS of kids struggle with fear of the dark and being alone at night… As a result, they battle bedtime, don’t sleep well themselves, or wake up their parents throughout the night.
Kids need additional support in learning HOW to manage their fears of the dark and relate sleep to comfort. A health and science journalist I’ve come to know, Daryl Austin, wrote a research-based book to help you help your kids make friends with bedtime. It’s called Sprite of the Night.
It tells the story of the mythological wood sprite —ancient woodland fairies who protect forest creatures and humankind. The book includes a nighttime guardian plush toy (boy or girl) charged with watching over and comforting your child. Go to the link in my bio to learn how to access it.
