Do you sometimes have trouble falling asleep? Here are some fun and easy tips to help you get a good night’s sleep!
Having a bedtime routine means doing the same things every night before you go to sleep. This helps your body know it’s time to rest. You can try reading a storybook or taking a warm bath. These activities can help you feel calm and ready for bed.
Your bedroom should feel cozy and quiet. You can dim the lights to make it darker, which helps you feel sleepy. Some people like to listen to soft music or gentle sounds, like ocean waves or rain, to help them relax. Make sure your room is not too hot or too cold, so you feel just right!
Before bedtime, it’s a good idea to turn off things like tablets, TVs, and video games. These can make it hard for your brain to relax and fall asleep. Try to do something quiet instead, like drawing or talking with your family.

With these tips, you’ll be ready to drift off to dreamland in no time. Sweet dreams!
Create Your Own Bedtime Routine Chart: Use a piece of paper or a small poster board to create a bedtime routine chart. Draw or write down the activities you do before bed, like brushing your teeth, reading a book, or putting on pajamas. Decorate your chart with stickers or drawings. Hang it in your room and try to follow it every night. Ask yourself: How does following the same routine every night help you feel ready for sleep?
Design a Cozy Sleep Space: Think about what makes your bedroom cozy and relaxing. With the help of an adult, rearrange your room to make it feel more comfortable. You can add a soft blanket, a nightlight, or some calming music. Observe how these changes make you feel. Discuss with a family member: What changes did you make to your room, and how do they help you feel more relaxed at bedtime?
Electronic-Free Evening Challenge: Try having an electronic-free evening before bed. Instead of using tablets or watching TV, choose a quiet activity like drawing, reading, or playing a board game with your family. Afterward, talk about how it felt to have a screen-free evening. Reflect: Did you find it easier to fall asleep without using electronics before bed? Why do you think that is?
