Bedtime should be peaceful—but in many households, it’s anything but. Between glowing screens, restless energy, and racing thoughts, getting kids (and sometimes parents) to wind down can feel like an endless struggle. The secret isn’t forcing sleep—it’s creating the right environment for it.
The Sleep Switch is a beginner-friendly playbook that helps families establish calming, screen-smart routines at night. You’ll learn how to minimize blue-light exposure without battles, introduce music and soundscapes that support relaxation, and use simple mindset practices to ease transitions from chaos to calm.
With practical tips, quick scripts, and ready-to-use routines, this guide empowers parents to create consistent bedtime rituals that actually work. No more scrolling under the covers, no more fights at lights-out—just a smoother path to rest for the whole family.
Sleep isn’t just about closing eyes—it’s about opening space for calm. This book shows you how to make bedtime a moment of connection, not conflict.
