Tip: A smooth morning starts the night before
Transitioning back into a school routine after a long summer can be a tough transition for kids and parents alike. With two months of late bedtimes and sleeping in, those first few weeks of early alarms and rushed mornings can be a real challenge.
But the secret to a great morning is a solid bedtime routine. Many of today's smart alarm clock devices, from sunrise alarms to smart lights, come with features that help create a calming wind-down ritual. They can dim lights, play soothing sounds and signal to your child that it's time to relax. By establishing this consistent routine, you're not just helping them fall asleep—you're setting them up for a refreshed and energized start to the next day.
