How To Prepare You Children For Daylight Savings: Keep Their Sleep Schedules On Track!
Every parent knows that Daylight Savings wreaks havoc on children’s sleep schedules. While many may look forward to the extra hour of sleep and dread losing one, parents just dread it in general no matter if they should be gaining or losing sleep. They know they ultimately will deal with battles with their kids as their schedules get thrown off an hour and they spend the next week or two trying to get them back on track all while dealing with meltdowns and bedtime mishaps. This year get ahead of the game with smart strategies to help keep your kids on schedule and avoid the sudden upset of Daylight Savings time. Here are some great tips and free printables to help get you through Daylight Savings this weekend! Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead on Saturday night!
First off it’s so important to have a bedtime routine established with your kids. They should know what to expect and have a routine to follow that ultimately ends with them going to bed. Here is a free printable “How do you wind down” chart. Your kids can mark off the tasks as they do them and establish a great bedtime routine. This is great for kids that love to whine “I don’t want to go to bed!”. By giving them tasks to complete they have something else to focus their attention on other than impending bedtime. Click the link or the picture above to print your own chart!
What our children eat also plays an important role in how well they sleep. This chart helps illustrate what foods should be eaten at what time of day. You can print it off by clicking here or clicking the photo above. Starting in the late afternoon you should avoid feeding your children any caffeine or sugar. If you find that eating dinner gives your child their second wind then consider moving dinner time to 3 hours before bedtime. I find that full belly’s tend to wind my kids down and not up but every child is different. Before bed my kids like to play the “I’m hungry!” card so be sure to offer a snack one hour before bedtime to avoid moving bedtime back in order to feed them a bedtime snack. Your bedtime routine should begin 30 minutes before bedtime in order to have plenty of time to complete the routine and be to bed on time.
Right now I’m struggling to get Carson, my 2 year old, to nap every day. My kids generally do well at bedtime but his nap time is a struggle lately. I’m using this Sleep Reward Chart to help encourage him to take a good nap each day. This chart is great for naps or bedtime struggles. It’s amazing what some stars and working towards a reward can do to motivate a child even as young as 2 years old. My kids love working towards a reward and I’m always amazed at what they will do to earn their stars whether it is completing chores or sleeping well. You can print the Sleep Reward Chart by clicking the link or the photo above.
Is your child getting enough sleep? Ever wonder what time bedtime should be? Check out the chart above to see how many hours your little one should be snoozing each night. Set the bedtime accordingly.
Once you’ve established good bedtime routines then you need to focus on keeping them up at Daylight Savings time. The week before you set your clocks back start adjusting bedtime in short 10-15 minute intervals. If bedtime is usually at 7pm but you will be setting the clocks ahead for Daylight Savings time then start putting your kiddo to bed at 7:15pm and work your way towards 8pm so that by the time you set your clocks ahead they have already adjusted to the schedule. This way instead of waking up at an odd time or being crabby because they went to bed an hour late, they will already be adjusted to the schedule. Since you did it in 10-15 minute intervals over the course of a week it won’t mess up their schedules like changing by a whole hour in one night would.
If your little one is having trouble sleeping then consider using a natural sleep remedy like Zarbees Naturals Children’s Sleep. Zarbee’s Sleep is a safe and effective remedy for occasional sleeplessness. Sleep contains clinically proven melatonin to promote restful sleep along with l-theanine to aid relaxation. The ingredients in Zarbee’s Sleep are natural, non-habit forming and won’t leave you feeling groggy the next day. Your child can fall asleep easily and wake up well rested!
While some melatonin can come from animals, Zarbees has selected an exceptionally pure, synthetic source not derived from animals. It is virtually identical to what your body naturally releases as part of its sleep cycle to help promote restful sleep. It’s safe for children and developed by a Physician looking to create natural remedies for his own children. Zarbee’s Naturals Children’s Sleep (for children 3 years +) helps reset the occasional hiccups in bedtime routines, like Daylight Savings Time, traveling and even sleepovers.
Zarbee’s Naturals will be sharing sleep tips throughout this week on their Facebook and Twitter platforms. Dr. Zak (the doctor behind Zarbee’s) will also be hosting a special Daylight Savings recovery chat on Twitter, Sunday March 9th at 7 PM ET to answer any real time sleep questions from their @zarbees handle.
I think I’ve just been incredibly lucky because my children all did well with daylight savings time. These are some great tips though.
Thanks for the great reminders about children’s sleep!
Thank you for the tips! As much as I look forward to longer days, I dread the time change with the kids.
ack. I hate time changes. Let’s spring forward and forget it… everyone in agreement? My kids have transitioned fairly easy with the last few times, but those are great tips!
Mine tend to adjust pretty well. These are great tips. I am looking forward to longer days though.
Very nice idea. I will pass this along to my daughter for her daughter. Thank you!
My kids have always done pretty well with the change. Me? Ha! Now that’s an entirely different story.
These are great tips! I keep forgetting that daylight savings time is coming up this weekend.
I need these tips myself. LOL. My son really doesn’t get enough sleep. He’s performs at our local children’s theatre and doesn’t even get home until 9:30 at night and he gets up at 6:50 each morning. Sigh.
Great tips. Overall we do pretty good but the fall is rough on my middle. He is an early riser and losing that hour is hard on him.
Aww man. I totally forgot the clock change was coming up. Thanks for the tips!
Oh I love Zarbees! I KNOW my 2 year old isn’t getting nearly enough sleep. I love that chart!
I agree i’m not looking forward to Daylight savings , it seems like it always takes forever for me to get them back on track. Thanks for the tips 🙂
I am SO not looking forward to this. I really wish they would just get rid of DS

Vesper is apparently abducted outside the casino, and
Evelyn is also kidnapped while pursuing her. Later that night at the
casino, Evelyn realises that Le Chiffre is using infrared sunglasses
to cheat. Evelyn arrives at the Casino Royale accompanied by Vesper, who foils
an attempt by seductive SMERSH agent Miss Goodthighs
to disable Tremble. Following a clue from Agent Mimi, Bond instructs his
estranged daughter, Mata Bond, to travel to West Berlin and
infiltrate International Mothers’ Help, an au pair service that is actually a
SMERSH training centre. Bond intends to use Tremble to beat SMERSH agent Le Chiffre, who has lost SMERSH funds gambling and is desperate to recover his losses before
he is executed. Moneypenny recruits Cooper, a karate
expert, who completes his training by successfully resisting an exotic British agent known as the Detainer.
She had betrayed Bond’s mission before falling for him and
resolving to make the most of her time with him before running off to hide from SMERSH.
At this, she promises to explain in the morning and reconciles with him that
night. The relationship turns toxic, until Bond finally admits that he was ready to marry her.
He follows her to a handoff of the money, where gunmen take her
captive upon spotting him. When M reveals the money
was never deposited, Bond realizes Vesper has betrayed him.
Bond thwarts the destruction of Skyfleet’s prototype airliner, costing Le Chiffre his
hundred-million dollar investment. Using information captured from Mollaka, Bond is led to corrupt Greek official Alex Dimitrios in the Bahamas, who had hired
Mollaka at Le Chiffre’s request.

Building 92 on the campus contains a visitor center
(with interactive exhibits) and store that are open to the public.
It is estimated to encompass over 8 million square feet (740,000 m2) of office space and 30,000–40,000 employees.
The all-electric buildings are completely fossil-fuel free, drawing renewable energy from off-site sources and
the campus’s Thermal Energy Center, which houses a geothermal system that provides
heating and cooling for 18 buildings. Since Microsoft established
its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, in 1986, the company’s campus has grown from four buildings
to more than 100.
In February 2006, Microsoft announced that it intended to expand its Redmond
campus by 1,100,000 square feet (100,000Â m2) at a cost of $1Â billion and said that this would create space for between 7,000 and 15,
000 new employees over the following three years.
The city of Redmond had also approved a rezone in February 2015 to raise the height limit for buildings on the campus from 6 stories to 10.
The first major expansion of the campus came
in 1992, bringing the total amount of office space to 1.7Â million square feet (160,000Â m2) on 260 acres
(110Â ha) of land. The initial campus was on a 30-acre (12Â ha) lot with six buildings, and was able to accommodate 800 employees but eventually grew to 1,400 by 1988.
Able to accommodate more than 6,000 employees, the seven new office buildings range from four to five stories
and are arranged in an urban-inspired, pedestrian-friendly setting.
Both wins over UCLA were in seasons immediately following UCLA claiming the NCAA Championship with
the 1971 win coming over a team that would be the eventual tournament champion.
