It’s so important to develop healthy sleep habits from a young age. Not learning good sleep habits as a child can literally mess up your sleep for the rest of your life. Preparing for sleep is an important wind down process in the evening. This includes not doing things that are energizing or giving your mind too much input. Including cell phone usage or any type of information input going into your brain. You don’t want your body to have to spend all night trying to problem solve vs going into REM sleep. Our brain wants us to stay up and stay stimulated. When we enter into REM sleep it doesn’t receive the same levels of glucose that it does when it isn’t in deep sleep so it is fighting to keep that supply level high. Not getting enough sleep will make you less productive throughout the day and increase the chance of making wrong decisions. Children rarely let their bodies just rest without stimulation. It is the parents responsibility to train them to have a good wind down and sleep routine. Don’t start a routine with your kids that you don’t want to keep. In example Bob had a friend whose kids “would only fall asleep by driving around the block.” But that routine is not sustainable and it is a bad habit. Today we go over some tips on how to start a healthier sleep routine for your kids. If you have any questions you’d like to ask Lori, please ask it in our contact form here: https://stretch4life.com/contact-us/   Check out our recommended products: #adhttps://stretch4life.com/products/ Check out the stretch4life course here:https://stretch4life.mykajabi.com/offers/oEc89RhL/checkout
