About the early birds and the night owls…

Good news, the early bird often goes to bed easily in the evening!
... but it also gets up early in the morning, in the best mood, to start the day. 

Whether it's 5 am or 6 am, early risers often can't wait.
But how do we as parents deal with the situation, especially when it goes against our own biological rhythm?

The simplest solution probably sounds easier than it is: with a lot of understanding and patience It helps to make the morning as beautiful as possible, especially at Christmas time, you can lie down on the couch, with tea and books, or turn on music and celebrate life! 

If there's anything I've learned from our early riser, it's to make the most of the situation and it's nice to see him especially thrive in the morning when we meet his needs.

Individual sleep duration is part of who we are and just as with adults, toddlers have an individual circadian rhythm. Now, it may be that your child is not necessarily an early riser. Perhaps your child has only recently started getting up early, or has recently been in a bad mood after waking up in the morning?

The formation of the circadian rhythm depends on maturity and develops individual together with the child. If one rhythm works with one child, is doesn’t have to work with yours. Have I mentioned how complex sleep is?!

We'll shed light on all of this in my sleep consultation, which kicks off in just a few weeks. I look forward to helping you have better nights and new bedtime snories.
