How to use it

  1. Write your child's usual bedtime and wake-up time at the top.
  2. From Wednesday, Oct 28, move bedtime 15 minutes later each night.
  3. Each morning, write when your child fell asleep and woke up, and how it went.

Why it helps

A one-hour change overnight can be hard for kids who count on routine. Small steps over a few nights let the change happen slowly.
