Fall Asleep Fast: The Ultimate Guide for Kids

Meisje ligt op een kinderkussen met gesloten ogen en zooby knuffel, probeert rustig in slaap te vallen in een, rustige kinderkamer.

Many parents struggle with bedtime. Your child keeps tossing and turning, talking or doesn’t want to lie in bed alone. Fortunately, with a few simple adjustments you can increase the chance of a quick and deep sleep.

Why Some Children Have Difficulty Falling Asleep

Children receive a lot of stimuli during the day. Without structure or a moment of rest before going to sleep, their minds can remain 'on'. This can lead to:

  • Lying awake for a long time

  • Waking up at night

  • Daytime fatigue

What can you do to help your child fall asleep faster?

Build a calm bedtime routine

A fixed ritual helps your child recognize that it is time to sleep. For example:

  • Pajamas on

  • Brushing teeth

  • Read a story

  • Cuddling with the Kid Pillow

Doing this at the same time every night feels safe and familiar.

Give your child a safe and relaxed feeling

Children sleep better when they feel safe. The Kid Pillow from ZOOBY is specially designed to help with this.

This soft sleeping pillow:

  • Has a soothing shape and structure

  • Provides a safe feeling when falling asleep

  • Supports building a good sleep association

The Kid Pillow will quickly become your child's regular sleeping buddy.

Avoid stimuli and screen time

Avoid screens at least one hour before bed. The blue light from phones and tablets inhibits the production of melatonin — the sleep hormone. Instead, choose calming activities such as:

  • To read aloud

  • Whispered conversations

  • Doing a breathing exercise together

In short

Falling asleep faster starts with rest and regularity. A recognizable routine and a safe feeling make all the difference. The Kid Pillow from ZOOBY helps your child to relax in a soft, natural way and to fall asleep more easily.
