Have you ever noticed how a tired child can be cranky or less engaged? That’s because sleep does more than restore energy. For children, sleep supports growth, learning, and emotional regulation. Helping your child get better quality sleep is one of the simplest ways to support their development.
Small, consistent changes at home can make a big difference. Below are practical steps to help children fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly.

Keep a consistent schedule
Children thrive on routine. Going to bed and waking up at roughly the same times every day helps their internal clock settle. A steady schedule makes falling asleep and staying asleep easier.

Create a calm bedtime ritual
A short, soothing routine such as a warm bath, a bedtime story, or soft music can help signal the body to wind down. Avoid screens before bed because the light can keep a child’s brain alert when you want them to relax.

Watch food and activity
Avoid large meals, sugary snacks, or heavy exercise close to bedtime. If needed, offer a light snack and save active play for earlier in the day.

Encourage daytime movement
Active play and time outdoors help children build healthy tiredness for the evening. Fresh air and natural light are powerful helpers for a solid night.

Make a sleep-friendly room
Keep the bedroom cool, quiet, and dim. Choose breathable bedding and a comfortable mattress to reduce night wakings from overheating or discomfort. Serta Jr™ is designed as a foundation for healthy sleep. The Anti-Allergenic Knit treated with the Adaptive™ Dynamic Cooling System created a fresh and hygienic mattress surface, making sure your kids rest comfortably through the night. Natural Latex and Pocket Springs add nurturing comfort and targeted spinal support, giving growing bodies the rest they need.

Good sleep is a daily gift you can give your child. By combining simple and consistent habits with a supportive mattress, you help them wake calmer, sharper, and ready to grow.
