A. A bedtime routine for preschoolers might look something like this: 7 pm: brush teeth, go to toilet, put on night nappy if needed. 7.15 pm: quiet time – read a book, tell a story, sing a song, have a cuddle. 7.30 pm: get into bed and kiss goodnight.Preschoolers need 10 to 13 hours of sleep including naps, which continue to contribute to emotional development in young children. Preschoolers may have different nap habits according to family schedules, cultural differences (8), or daycare timetables (9).Most preschoolers need 10-13 hours of sleep a night, and some still nap during the day. Preschoolers sometimes have sleep problems like getting out of bed, as well as nightmares and night terrors. A consistent bedtime routine is the best way to handle many preschooler sleep problems.
