Winter Sleep Guide: Tips for Kids’ Comfort

Winter’s here, and it’s time to make sure your little ones are snug as a bug while they sleep! 

Creating the perfect sleep space goes beyond turning up the heat. It’s about cozy bedding, a soothing routine, and making the room feel like a winter wonderland. 

Here are our top tips to keep your kid’s bedroom sleep-ready this season!

Choose the Right Bedding

The foundation of a cozy sleep environment starts with the right bedding! Choose soft, breathable material like microfiber for sheets, and go for thick comforters to keep your child warm all night. Famyo’s Glow in the Dark Blankets and bedding sets are perfect for adding warmth and magic to bedtime. 

Maintain the Perfect Room Temperature

Aim for a room temperature between 68°F to 72°F (20°C to 22°C) to keep your child cozy but not overheated. A room thermometer helps keep the temperature just right for a restful sleep.

Keeping the temperature in check = better sleep

Safely Use Heaters

If you need extra warmth, use a space heater—but make sure it's safe! Opt for one with an auto shut-off feature. Keep it away from kids and flammable materials. Safety first!

Set the Mood with Soft Lighting

Dim lighting helps signal to your child that it’s time to wind down. Use soft fairy lights or a gentle night light to create a calming ambiance. It is perfect for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Noise Control for Peaceful Sleep

Keep the room quiet by using a white noise machine or playing soft music. This helps create a peaceful environment for your little one to fall asleep faster.

Establish a Calming Bedtime Routine

Consistency is key! A warm bath, storytime, or relaxation techniques help signal that it's time for bed. A calming bedtime routine ensures your child winds down and gets the rest they need.
