Sleep is important for all of us,
but for children it is even more so, which is why making their bedroom a place
they are happy to go and look forward to is so crucial. When kids are little
they tend to resist sleep as much as possible. This is for a combination of
factors, but for the most part it is simply because, like bath times, it is
something they see as a chore when they could be doing so many other things. As
adults we never feel that we have gotten enough sleep and would kill to spend a
day in bed, but kids minds are always full of new games to play and exciting
things to do and going to bed just spells the end of that for at least 10
hours!
Sleep is so important for
children, though, because it affects how they grow and learn. Scientists
believe that if children do not get enough sleep it affects their ability to
grow and heal. It lowers their immunity to childhood diseases and can make them
physically weaker than getting enough sleep. Mentally, lack of sleep can be an
awful thing as well, because sleep is the time when our brains are able to sort
through everything that has happened during the day and recharge. Without sleep
you will find that your attention wanders and simple tasks seem so much more
difficult than before. Children need around 10-12 hours sleep each night and to
get a proper night’s sleep they need to have a comfortable environment that
they want to head to each night.
One of the best ways about
getting a child excited to go to bed is to have a great bed for them to go to!
The Little Tikes Thomas & Friends Train Bed & Mattress is the perfect
example of a bed that kids will love and look forward to heading to each night.
Designed with kids’ favourites Thomas & Friends as the overriding motif,
the bed looks like Thomas himself and allows your child to curl up inside their
own train carriage. The bed has a storage chest in the front, where your
children can keep books, toys or even secrets and the bed comes with a little
track along the side which you can run the included miniatures along to make
bedtime more like playtime!
If you can get your kids excited
to go to bed you’ll find that they are happier, healthier and more ready to
take on the day. The Little Tikes Thomas & Friends Train Bed & Mattress
is perfect for smaller children (up to around 5 years) and will make bedtime
fun and exciting, as well as making them feel that their bed is a little bit
more special and magical because it is in the shape of one of their favourite
characters.
