How To Get Your Children to Sleep
If parents are concerned about their children when they are awake, it doesn't necessarily follow that they can breath safe when their child sleeps at night. In fact, a child's sleeping habits could be very disruptive to adults: aside from the fact that younger children by standards should be getting more sleep than adults, it would also take quite a while for parents to adjust and bring to a "normal" level his/her child's sleeping patterns. This could be a big challenge, most especially for first time parents, because although they may have provided their child with their own bedroom and selected the most comfortable children's bed they can find, the child would normally sleep in the parents' bedroom (check our range of girls beds for more inspiration).
One way of making your child to adjust to a sleeping is by weaning them from the parent's bedroom as soon as possible and giving them a their own bedroom. As the child may suffer from separation anxiety for a few days or weeks, make sure that the children's bed is as comfortable as possible. You may stay in the child's room for an hour in the first few days but parents should eventually train their children to sleep on their own. Of course, for new parents, it would be heart-breaking to see their little one alone in their room, but unless they taught that there is a sleeping time, the parent's would have to bear the brunt of staying awake as long as the child is.
Children need more sleeping hours than do adults because it is during this time that the body starts its body building activities. As the child grows into adolescence, the time needed to sleep is lessened: but this too, has its limits because as a person is awake, normal wear and tear of bodily tissues happen, so even as adults, sleep is needed to repair these worn out tissues.
However, there is really no such thing as an acceptable sleeping norm for babies, much less adults. For as long as the human body is given the rest it needs to replenish energy and repair its tissues on a daily basis, then there should be no problem about completing the "required" hours of sleep. Thus, parents should not be alarmed if their children take an hour or two more of sleep time, most especially between the ages of three to four.
As the child adjusts his sleeping patterns, a good way of helping your child get to rest soundly is by promoting good sleep hygiene habits. These habits are concerned not only with pre-sleep physical hygiene. In fact it is the totality of the varied practices a person makes for him to achieve quality sleep that will enable him to attain complete daytime alertness.
Of course, good physical hygiene is important as well. A set of clean linens for your child is also needed to make him comfortable. But if you feel that your child is experiencing sleep abnormalities, it may be good to check on the following:
Light and sound could be distracting so make sure that there are no distracting sounds or glaring lights in your child's room that would keep him awake. For some babies though, some soft music could do wonders when putting them to rest. If lights are needed, they should be in soft hues and should be situated as far away from the children's bed.
Room temperature could also be a factor affecting your child's ability to sleep. Be very wary of room temperatures, most especially during the winter times as drafts may seep through your child's room.
A comfortable children's bed should also be considered. When we say comfortable, the mattress should not be too soft, nor too hard, so that the child's body may be supported even while lying down. As the child lies prostate on bed, the head should be elevated a little so that air passages should not be blocked.
Food taken before bedtime should also be checked. Make sure that your child does not take a very heavy meal near bedtime as this could lead to indigestion and disrupt his rest. Children should also not be given drinks which contain caffeine like cola drinks or coffee.
As much as possible, keep an eye on gadgets that might eat up on your child's sleep time. These could be addicting and may result to daytime sleepiness.
For children that have just been given a new bedroom where he sleeps by himself, a little handholding may be needed before you totally make him sleep alone. A good pep talk about the benefits of having his own bedroom could do well: maybe a bedtime story could also do wonders to calm him. Also, select a children's bed that will not be too overwhelming for your child. One made of wood is preferred as this would not feel too cold for the child as opposed to having one made of iron and metal.
Parents may think that having reared a child before may have provided them already with all the answers to their child's problems. However, if your child's sleeping problems have been dragging on for quite a while, it may be best that a doctor be consulted for proper diagnosis.
The benefits of your child's having good sleeping habits cannot be discounted. It does not only provide your child with the time necessary for his body to develop normally: it also takes him away from the possibilities of having problems arising from not being able to sleep well. Thus helping your child learn good sleeping hygiene habits and providing him with a comfortable children's bed is of utmost importance.
Lack of sleep slows the mind: thus, a child is not as alert and cannot comprehend as fast in school. Simple decisions are also hard to do as the child cannot put his mind to concentrate on what he is doing. And as concentration gets hard, this could lead to accidents as reflexes are slow. Not getting enough rest could also result to crankiness thus affecting social relationships. Most importantly, a body that is not well rested is susceptible to diseases and these may lead to serious repercussions. Thus, sleep is not just providing the body the time it needs to rest; it is crucial for maintaining a sound mind and a healthy body.

Mathy-By-Bols were exhibiting their incredible range of Unique and Unusual Children’s Bedroom Furniture at a trade show in Paris when we stopped dead in our tracks (helped by the blisters on our feet) and my partner and I gargled out a nasty swearword… followed by ‘that is sooo Cuckooland’- then we both tripped on the step going into the stand and crashed into a Caravan Bed with Alex hugging the frame, crazy eyed and peering through the retractable roof at a startled kid giving the caravan a test drive.
Top 7 reasons to love Mathy by Bols beds
7) Unique We all remember being in the playground, and being really jealous of that one kid with the racecar bed. Well, looking back, can you imagine if you said; “Oh yeah? Well I have a tent bed!” The Mathy by Bols range is incredibly creative; you won’t find another bed on the market that caters to the imagination quite like these ones do. Made in Belgium by a top designer with a real eye for childlike creativity, you won’t find any beds in any other range that have the Mathy by Bols “flair”. 6) Adventurous Speaking of imagination, the adventurous nature of the Mathy by Bols range will help your kids develop their sense of magic in the wonderland of their bedrooms. There’s a bed shaped like a caravan for kids with an outdoorsy sense of adventure; a bunk bed with a desk underneath it for little bookworms, which, of course doubles as a bed; a frilly, pink bed for little princesses. Whichever way your child likes to play, there’s bound to be something in the Mathy by Bols range that they’ll want to explore.
