Mattress Protection For A Healthy Sleep<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Your BedGuard mattress protects against little accidents\u00a0ensuring uninterrupted sleep. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Following Tips may be useful to get your loved one to sleep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sleep time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Encourage your child to go to bed\u00a0and wake-up roughly at the\u00a0the same time everyday. School nights and weekends should vary no more than 1 hour.<\/p>\n

Bedtime schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Try to have a 20- to 30-minute bedtime routine\u00a0every night.\u00a0Include calm activities, like reading a book or talking about the day. The routine should \u00a0start in say the playroom without distractions and finish in your child’s bedroom, preferably in bed.<\/p>\n

Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Apart from having a BedGuard mattress <\/a>your child\u2019s bedroom should be\u00a0quiet, and dark. A nightlight is fine, but can cause interruption as children become use to\u00a0a completely dark room.\u00a0Children\u00a0sleep best in a room that is cool (less than 21\u00b0C). Your child’s\u00a0bedroom is for sleep. Time out or other punishment\u00a0should be reduced so\u00a0your child to thinks of the bedroom as a good place, not a bad one.<\/p>\n

Treats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Avoid heavy meals within an hour or two of bedtime as this may interfere with sleep. Your child should not go to bed hungry,\u00a0so\u00a0a light snack\u00a0of milk\u00a0or a\u00a0small non-sugary treat before bed is a good idea.<\/p>\n

Caffeine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Consumption of caffeine type soft drink, coffee, iced tea, and chocolate\u00a0should avoided for at least 3 to 4 hours before bedtime routine.<\/p>\n

Pre-bed activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The hour before bed should be a quiet time. Your child should not get involved in high-energy activities, such as rough play or playing outside, or stimulating activities, such as computer games.<\/p>\n

Television<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No television in your child\u2019s bedroom. Children can easily develop the bad habit of \u201cneeding\u201d the television to fall asleep. It is\u00a0almost impossible to\u00a0control your child\u2019s television viewing if its in the bedroom.<\/p>\n

Naps\"sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Naps should be geared around exercise and\u00a0your child\u2019s age. Very long naps or too many naps should be avoided, as too much daytime sleep can result in your child sleeping less at night.<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Exercise exercise and more exercise helps your child grow, be healthy and sleep like a top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
