Sleep hygiene.
1) make sure the sleep-time ambience of the child is calm and quiet. No flashing lights or TV lights in the bedroom. No loud noise.
2) no watching tv/ipad/or mobile phones during bedtime.
3) if there's no seperate bedroom for the kid then make sure that the parents also time their sleep time with thei children.
3) try telling a story at bed time. While telling the story make sure lights are dim and no questions are asked otherwise the child will be alert.
Sleep is very important part for the brain growth.
During sleep growth hormone is released and this hormone is necessary for body growth.
Also, melatonin is released in the body which works as a anti inflammatory agent as well.
Next Steps
Observe these sleep hygiene techniques and revert back with your experience with this technique.
