Whether it’s a baby, school disruption or the general stress of the pandemic families may have lost their good sleep habits. Lucy Shrimpton has advice on World Sleep Day.
It’s been a tough time for everyone over the past year. One of the many victims of the pandemic has been a full night’s sleep and good sleep habits. As a constant feeling of uncertainty and unsettlement rests over us, so many are having problems. At sleepnanny.co.uk we’ve experienced a 300% rise in calls from worried parents desperate for help in overcoming sleepless nights.
In fact, recent research from Silentnight’s Safe Nights Collection revealed that the average mum or dad loses 6.2 hours of sleep per week due to their baby. That’s a whopping 13 days a year.
So here are my top pieces of advice to help sleep deprived families get back to a happier and healthier life, even during the most strange of times.
I’ve seen a lot of exhausted parents with little ones who now struggle to settle at bedtime, or wake multiple times in the night with no way of getting back to sleep.
