Saturday Sleep Tip

According to an article from BabyCenter, you may want to try a "sleep instigating snack an hour before bedtime. Some foods naturally spark a release of serotonin, the body's built-in sleep inducer. Try a glass of milk, a piece of whole-wheat toast with a slice of cheese, half a peanut butter sandwich, or oatmeal with bananas."

This tip of course would have to fit with your schedule, and skip if your kids have no problems falling asleep.

In contrast, you want to avoid sugary and caffeine filled foods before bed.

Even the food they do or do not eat can and should be part of the right bedtime routine.
