To ensure that your kids get enough sleep, maintain a consistent sleep schedule, which helps regulate the child's body's internal clock.

Create a relaxing bedtime routine for your kids, which can include reading a book, a warm bath before bed, or listening to some calming music to help the kid or kids wind down for bed.

Optimize the kids sleep environment by making sure the kids bedroom is quiet, dark and cool and avoid screens such as TV, computers, tablets, phones etc before bed as the light can interfere with sleep.
