Good Night, Sleep Tight! A Stress-Free Guide to Bedtime

What Habits Can Affect Kids' Sleep?

Help your child break these before-bed no-nos:

• Watching TV, playing video games, or using the computer less than 30 minutes before bedtime (though stopping one hour before is even better).
• Excessive roughhousing.
• Eating a large meal close to bedtime (but don't send her to bed hungry either).
• Snacking on foods that contain caffeine.
