Spring brings with it a burst of energy, longer daylight hours and the perfect excuse to do a gentle refresh of your child’s sleep space and routine. Just like we spring clean our homes, it is also the ideal time to clean up bedtime habits that may have slipped during winter.
Start with the environment. Swap out heavy winter bedding for breathable fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo to keep little bodies cool and comfortable. Open windows during the day to let in fresh air and natural light, which helps reset their internal body clock.
Next, declutter the sleep space. A tidy, minimal bedroom can have a calming effect on kids and make it easier for them to unwind. Donate outgrown toys and books, and create a peaceful nook with their favourite bedtime stories and soft lighting.
This is also a great time to reassess their mattress. If your child is waking up restless or complaining of aches, it might be time to upgrade. The Eco Kids mattress is a favourite for families looking to support growing bodies while keeping sleep free from harmful chemicals. With breathable bamboo fabric and natural cotton, it helps regulate temperature and promote deeper sleep through the warmer months.
Revisit your evening routine too. With daylight sticking around longer, it can be trickier to convince kids it is bedtime. Introduce gentle wind-down rituals like a warm bath, storytime or calming music. Try dimming the lights an hour before bed and keeping screens off to signal to their body that it is time to relax.
And most importantly, be consistent. Kids thrive on routine, so try to keep bedtime and wake-up times steady, even on weekends. A consistent schedule helps their body clock stay in sync and supports better quality sleep night after night.
A spring sleep reset is not just about earlier bedtimes. It is about creating a calm and comfortable rhythm that helps your child feel rested, recharged and ready for all the fun that spring has to offer.
