Getting 10+ Hours of Sleep Has a Huge Impact on Kindergarteners, Study Shows

by Karly WoodJuly 13, 2022

It feels like school just let out, but we’re all back to back-to-school shopping and getting our kids ready for a new year. But take note parents: school supplies aren’t all you’ll need to get prepped for a year of learning, specifically if you have an incoming kindergartner.

The journal Pediatrics has just published a new study that addresses the impact of sleep on children adjusting to formal schooling (aka kindergarten) and it’s pretty important. After studying 221 families over the course of four weeks, researchers found that those with 10+ hours of sleep nightly consistently “transitioned more successfully to K than children with less-regular sleeping patterns.”

Furthermore, establishing those sleep patterns a good five to six months ahead of the start of kindergarten is essential. That’s right, it’s time to get on your sleep train A-game.

You may be thinking, this isn’t new info. And sure, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) does suggest that kindergarteners get 10 to 13 hours of sleep daily. However, their guidance is over the course of the entire day and includes naps.

On the flip side, this study “suggests that the more consistently at least 10 hours of sleep occur during the night, the better is children’s adjustment.” Which makes sense, considering naps in kindergarten are usually no longer a thing (RIP 80’s nap time) and there’s no way to make up sleep if a child doesn’t get enough––because they’re in school.

The study used teachers who rated children using a variety of scales and found that those with more 10 or more hours of sleep were ranked more favorably. This included ratings on aggression, social competence, student–teacher relationships, classroom learning behaviors, school readiness and ADHD behavior. In a nutshell, when kids get the right amount of sleep everyone is happy and they are set up for success.

Even though school is around the corner, there’s no time like the present to set up a great bedtime routine. Grab a stalk of bedtime books, set a relaxing podcast and don’t forget a fun alarm clock to make waking up for school fun (well, as fun as it can be).

5 Simple Ways to Help Your Kid Establish a Morning Routine

by Amber GuetebierApril 25, 2022

Ah, mornings. While days off of school and work can be cuddly and leisurely, weekdays can be the exact opposite. Avoid morning stress and the constant cries of “We’re late!” by giving your kids a morning routine they can follow. While nothing is going to be perfect, here are a few tips that are sure to help.

1. Set an Alarm

Setting a consistent bedtime each night is a precursor for success in the morning. To help kids establish a regular wake-up time, an alarm clock that they can use and set themselves is a thing of beauty. (Here are 18). If a blaring noise or music will just make your kid grumpy, consider a gradual-light alarm that slowly increases the light in the room for a more natural “waking up in the sunshine” feel.

2. Make a Chart

It can be as simple as a list on a piece of paper taped to their door or a magnetic routine chart in a place they'll pass every morning, but having a visual cue will help bleary-eyed kids remember what is next. Don’t underestimate how simple and straightforward it can be. Example:

Brush Teeth
Wash Hands
Wash Face
Put in Contact Lenses
Eat Breakfast
Grab Lunch
Find Boots

3. Make it Simple for Them to Stay Healthy & Hygienic

Good hygiene is important to every parent. Keep contact lenses and solution, washcloths, toothpaste refill, hair grooming supplies, hand soap refills, etc. on a shelf where kids can easily reach what they need.

Some products are inherently easier to keep clean and sanitary. For example, if your age-appropriate child wears contact lenses, single-use lenses like MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses mean your little one won’t need to clean lenses each night. You may be surprised to hear that 42% of children aged 5 to 19 have myopia¹, also known as nearsightedness. MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses not only correct vision immediately², but are the first and only soft contact lenses designed for myopia control and are FDA approved* to slow the progression of myopia in children, aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment.³†

4. Get Things Ready the Night Before

Ever noticed how morning seems to go by really fast, especially when you’re trying to get to school (and work) on time? Don’t leave everything to those precious early minutes. Have your child help as you get things as grab-and-go as possible. Here are a few things you can do:

Pick out clothes the night before, including finding shoes.
Make lunches.
Pack homework into bags and backpacks and then leave near the door or another easy-to-see place.
Prep breakfast (overnight oats anyone?) or have healthy grab-and-go options if possible.

Try doing this as part of your bedtime routine. Have the kids put on their pajamas and run around getting things ready or prompt them 15 minutes before bedtime.

5. Get Yourself Ready First

You may have heard this one before but we’re going to say it again. Get up 20 to 30 minutes before your kids need to wake, and take that time to get yourself ready. Whether that’s stretching, having coffee, spacing out, showering or just getting dressed, if you have a jumpstart on your own morning routine, you won’t be as stressed about theirs. And get your stuff ready the night before, too, if you can.

The pedometer, dance activity game and augmented reality Walk n’ Wonder game will keep their body moving while they dream up their wish list!

And speaking of wish lists, here’s how the cool Tobi 2 Robot Smartwatch can help your kiddo get creative while building a list of must-have gifts!

Does it feel like you’re always sharing your phone, tablet or smartwatch with your kids?

To the Mom That Is Struggling

By Jamie Johnson

Struggling is waking up every morning to your alarm clock, the sound of a crying baby, hours before you expect it.

Struggling is thinking about all the things you need to accomplish that day and feeling your chest tighten a little.

Struggling is trying to keep it together, so they don’t fall apart.

Struggling is making it down the stairs before the kids roll out of bed just to realize you forgot to make that last minute trip to the grocery for milk last night.

Struggling is crying in the bathroom while the shower runs, clutching a cup of coffee, and watching tiny little fingers reach under the door.

Struggling is trying to get the kids buckled into the car with both of them kicking, crying and arching their backs while your neighbor watches from across the street.

Struggling is cussing under your breath because your five year old tells you he forgot to brush his teeth on the way to school.

Struggling is dropping your baby off at school for the first time and watching him walk into that building like the big boy he is becoming.

Struggling is the mental list in your head that you try to write down but always forget something.

Struggling is trying to potty train your toddler who continues to pee all over the carpet.

Struggling is a 12-hour road trip for family vacation with two kids in the back seat that won’t stop poking each other.

Struggling is trying to take your family out for a semi-nice dinner but having your toddler throw a fork at an innocent bystander. So you get the rest of your meal to go.

Struggling is trying to set a good example and be a role model then accidentally dropping an F-bomb in a moment of weakness.

Struggling is trying to pee in any public place with a kid in the stall with you, touching everything then trying to sit in your lap.

Struggling is saying that your kids can’t have screen time but knowing that you won’t be able to fold a piece of laundry without it.

Struggling is having to try and pump while you are at work in the closet that your office has designated as the “Pump Room” and worrying that someone will walk in on you.

Struggling is pushing for hours and hours during labor only to find out your baby has a huge head and you need a C-section.

Struggling is trying to keep yourself together when someone visits you and your two day old baby and all you want to do is cry.

Struggling is having to put yourself on the back burner for longer than you expected so you can tend to a tiny person depending on you for life.

Struggling is me. And you.

I am all of these things. You might not be all of them but I am sure you can relate.

All moms struggle. It is so much harder than they tell you it is going to be.

But it’s okay. You have got this. I promise.

If it wasn’t hard, it might not be nearly as worth it to see your baby smile for the first time or hear their giggle every time they see you.

If it wasn’t worth it, I wouldn’t be writing this.

Gosh, it is such a struggle. But I love my tiny alarm clocks more than life itself.

I know you worry that you are messing it all up. That they might not turn out how you imagined.

But you have to take that risk to gain the reward of having your babies kiss and hug you and telling you they love you.

That is when you feel the struggle melt away. It might only melt away for a minute, but that minute is worth all the struggles in the world.

Until next time,

—Jamie

10 Warning Signs of Sleep Deprivation

By Ruthi Davis

Tinybeans Voices Contributor

January 3, 2020

How many can you check off?

1. You’re sitting up and staring at the computer, in a trance-like state with your mouth typically gaping open, until an awkward head jolt later when you realize you just fell asleep sitting up, again.

2. When unpacking from your weekly grocery shop, you realize that you keep re-buying the same five items that you were in desperate need of… two weeks ago.

3. Even though you walk into a room and sometimes forget your purpose, you then grab an item, get distracted, and then completely forget where you placed it.

4. You sound more like an auctioneer than a parent as you stumble over every family member’s and pet’s name in the house before actually matching it with the kid in front of you.

5. Your alarm clock is set to repeat every 5-minutes for a 30-minute period before it’s actually time to get out of bed — yet you still manage to snooze through every single one and wake up in a panic with your iPhone laying next to you after turning it off for a foolish “5 more minutes.

6. You robotically spew out random, repetitive phrases at the kids that have nothing to do with the moment.

7. After frantically running through the house looking for your “lost” phone, and likely blaming one of the kids for taking it, you look down and realize it was in your hand — the entire time.

8. You repeatedly demand that your kid let her sibling out to pee on the lawn — only to realize that you really meant the dog.

9. When you finally lay down to rest and read your emails, the iPhone falls out of your hand and smacks you in the face.

10. You frequently bump into door frames and furniture — and then apologize to them.

How to Establish a Successful Morning Routine for Kids

By Amanda Tallent

Tinybeans Voices Contributor

November 11, 2019

Morning routines are everything when it comes to getting out the door without letting the morning madness get to you. And, let’s face it. From your alarm clock waking you up at the crack of dawn to making sure your kiddos are fed and out the door on time, things can get stressful.

However, with a little planning, and a solid morning routine, you can transform how your family handles the morning rush. Read on because we’re sharing 7 tips on how to establish a morning routine for kids that may set the tone for a more positive and productive day.

1. It All Starts with Sleep

While we may be talking about morning routines, a seamless morning routine really all starts with how your kid’s slept the night before (and you too!) Hitting the hay earlier and setting your little ones up for a solid night’s sleep is the number one step to hit the ground running with a much smoother morning routine.

Think about it this way. When your child is overtired, nothing seems to run smoothly, right? So, make sleep a priority.

As a general rule of thumb, The Sleep Foundation says that toddlers (ages 1-2) need 11-14 hours of sleep. Preschoolers (ages 3-5) need 10-13 hours of sleep, school-aged children (ages 6-13) require 9-11 hours, and teenagers (ages 14-17) should be getting 8-10 hours each night.

Here are a few tips to help establish a better evening routine to set your whole family up for a smoother morning.

Have a predictable evening routine.
Try using noise machines to block out outside noise.
Consider using blackout curtains to set the tone for sleep.
Get the kids into bed early enough to make sure they are getting the amount of sleep their growing bodies need.

2. Plan Ahead

Planning is key to avoiding chaos, so consider planning ahead a bit before your busy morning starts. If you can carve our just ten minutes to plan ahead the night before, you will feel so much less stressed when the morning rolls around. Have lunches to pack? Try getting everything out and ready to go the night before. Need to pick out clothes for the kiddos? Try setting those out the night before.

Crossing just a few things off of your to-do the night before will ultimately save you tons of time during the morning rush.

3. Claim Your Own Power Half Hour

If you can manage it, try waking up just a little earlier than the rest of the house, and get some “me time” in! Make the first half-hour of your day your power half-hour to focus on you. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy it while it’s actually still hot. Listen to your favorite podcast, or roll out your yoga mat and get a quick yoga flow in. Doing something for yourself before you dive into your morning routine will help you feel more centered. Hint: A more centered parent equals a smoother morning!

4. Ease into That Wakeup Call

Think about how you feel when your blaring alarm clock goes off at the crack of dawn. For many of us, we dread that wakeup call. So, ease into your little one’s wakeup call. If they have a hard time rolling out of bed in the morning, ease into it. Try playing some gentle music, lay in bed with them for a few minutes talking about the plans for the day, or simply offer a hug and some positive words to help your kid’s wake up on the right side of the bed.

5. Get Your Children Involved in the Routine

If your children are old enough, consider getting them involved in the morning routine. This will help foster some independence, but also make them more excited about waking up and diving right into the morning routine.

Consider making a routine chart of what everyone is responsible for each morning, and everyone gets to check their tasks off when they are complete. This example from The Zebra includes a printable morning and routine chart for your family to help them get out of the house on time.

6. Get Nourished

Setting the tone for a productive day also starts with nourishing the body. Kiddos (and adults) need something wholesome that’s rich in protein and healthy fat to stabilize blood sugar and help kids stay full until lunchtime. So, consider offering things like eggs with a side of fruit and a piece of toast with mashed avocado or almond butter. Or, on the days you’re in a rush, blend up a kid-approved smoothie.

7. Be Flexible

As parents, it may seem like we’re always having to bend and flex. Our kid’s needs are ever-changing, and being able to be flexible in your morning routine is just another way to challenge that inner parent patience we all have to muster up. Being flexible when things don’t go exactly as planned will help you bounce right back, instead of letting the morning rush get the best of the entire house. Just remember that not all is lost if your morning routine is slightly thrown off track. Just roll with it!

A Sample Morning Routine for Kids

Want to see what a sample morning routine put into real-time looks like? Here’s an example of a morning routine that can be tweaked to work for you.

The Night Before

8:00 PM: Light’s out for kiddos

8:30 PM: Lay clothes out, get lunch ready

Morning

5:30 AM: Parent power half hour

6:00 AM: Kiddos gentle wake-up call

6:30 AM: Morning schedule

7:00 AM: Enjoy a nourishing breakfast

7:30 AM: Out the door for a positive and productive day!

With a solid morning routine, you will quickly see just how powerful they can be for getting out the door and seizing the day.
