I'm a sleep expert - this is how you can get your children to sleep on Christmas Eve The tree is decorated, there’s snacks for Santa, the presents are wrapped and your kids are wide awake with no sign of sleep anywhere close.
Renowned sleep expert Dave Gibson said: “For parents with young children, Christmas Eve is possibly the most difficult night of the year for getting a good night’s sleep.
It’s a typical Christmas Eve conundrum, but the sleep experts at Vitabiotics have a couple of tips and tricks to help get your little ones to bed even on the most exciting night of the year.
“If you plan to allow your child to stay up a few hours later on Christmas Eve, possibly in the hope they will wake later too, I recommend staggering the change during the nights before with smaller steps so their body clock naturally adjusts to this time.
Add the broken sleep patterns, early waking to open gifts, and the fear of missing out on the festive fun downstairs, and you have a challenging combination.”.
