These evidenced based, tried and true sleep hygiene strategies support a healthy circadian rhythm (body clock) and your sleep patterns to set yourself up for the best night’s sleep possible.

Children's Bedtime Chart

Dear parent or caregiver,

This chart is to act as a tool for you, a reference guide so you can see what parameters you should be aiming for with your child depending on their age. These are guidelines only and experience shows that most kids need slightly more sleep than this. If you have a primary school, intermediate or high school age child they need a minimum of 10 hours sleep.

As always work out what is best for your child to give them the best start in life. A good nights sleep supports a happier, better-behaved child that is ready to learn. It also supports their optimal growth and development and physical and mental wellbeing.
If you are concerned about the amount of sleep your child is getting please feel free to contact our support team support@sleepdrops.co.nz or consult with your medical practitioner.

Thanks,
The SleepDrops team
