 Kids Sleep

Sleep struggles are common in kids, especially under the age of two, with many waking up during the night. While occasional sleeplessness is normal (we all experience it!), chronic sleep issues can take a toll on both your child and the whole family. Sleep deprivation in children can lead to emotional and developmental challenges, and for parents, it can cause irritability, anxiety, and even depression.

If your child has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep more nights than not, it’s worth looking into what might be causing it. Common triggers include teething, sickness, or developmental fears like being afraid of the dark. These phases often pass with a little patience, but it's always good to address the root cause.

Also, keep an eye on your child’s emotional well-being. Difficulty sleeping can show up as mood swings, tantrums, trouble concentrating, or a short attention span. If you’re noticing these signs, consider whether their sleep might be the missing piece. Sometimes, improving sleep is enough to help with these issues, but if symptoms persist, it’s a good idea to talk to your pediatrician.

Here are some helpful strategies to promote better sleep:

  • Get outside early: Morning sunlight helps reset the body’s circadian rhythm.

  • Establish a bedtime routine: A calming routine signals the brain that it’s time to wind down.

  • Comfort is key: Make sure your child is comfortable—check the room temperature and their pajamas.

  • Tackle nighttime fears: If your child is scared of monsters or bad dreams, try making a “good dream spray” with lavender essential oil to spray around the room before bed.

  • Magnesium support: I highly recommend magnesium to support better sleep. Magnesium L-threonate (like in OptiMag® Neuro) is especially good for improving sleep quality and supporting the brain. It helps with relaxation and neurological support, which can lead to more restful nights. If you still need additional support, consider this gentle herbal tincture by Herb Pharm available on their website or on Amazon—Fast Asleep

  • See a Pediatric Chiropractor: Chiropractic care can help improve a child’s sleep by addressing any misalignments in the spine that may be interfering with their nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and supporting the body's natural ability to regulate sleep patterns.
