Children and Sleep

Sleep is essential for your child’s mental and physical health. Sleep plays a crucial role in the development of young minds. It has a direct effect on happiness, cognitive performances, mood, resiliency^, learning and memory. Even minimal sleep deprivation can have effects on your child’s day-to-day life. 

If you’re finding it impossible to help your toddler sleep think that you’re not alone…. But through a combination of sleep hygiene and appropriate routines you can help your child get the rest it needs to grow up strong and healthy.

The bedroom environment plays an important role in getting a good night’s sleep. It will help your child sleep better and help you to breath a sigh of relief.

There are a lot of factors  to consider for a proper bedroom environment, including temperature, light and comfort. Comfort is important and we all have different needs when it comes to what we prefer and what suits our bodies. The firmness of the mattress and pillows, the texture of the bedding and night clothes are all important considerations when planning a good sleep environments. 

At Midsummer we think that the best children mattresses are made of natural materials, which are breathable, warm in winter and cool in summer. The Argentine horsehair mattress, with an outer layer of pure hypoallergenic silk is perfect for the little ones and for teens, and even for you. 

Because sleeping well is important for both children and adults. For a better life.
