Even well-intentioned habits can disrupt sleep. This blog highlights common sleep mistakes parents make and how to correct them.
Some of the most common sleep mistakes include late-night screen use, irregular weekend schedules, caffeine exposure, and inconsistent bedtime routines.
Allowing children to stay up late on weekends disrupts their internal clock, making weekday mornings difficult. This “social jet lag” leads to chronic sleep debt.
Another mistake is assuming children will fall asleep when tired. Overtired children often struggle more with sleep onset.
Correcting these habits restores natural sleep rhythms and improves overall health.
