Keep up a good exercise
routine (include something aerobic such as a good walk), but not within two
hours of bedtime. Stretching, yoga, and deep breathing, can be helpful before
bed. You or your child can do
deep breathing in bed and some very specific stretches, but most of these
should be done out of bed and if possible, out of the bedroom.
My personal experience has
been that exhausted kids, as long as they have a good relaxation routine, fall
asleep faster and stay asleep better.
The next segment will
talk more about routines. Routines are
so important because of the powerful cues, habits, and responses associated
with those routines.
