When the days get longer and the nights get warmer, getting a good night’s sleep can be a challenge. Whether it’s the rising temperatures, early sunrise, or a disrupted routine during the school holidays, summer can affect sleep for the whole family. Here are a few tips to help everyone sleep more soundly—plus some Haliborange favourites that can support bedtime routines.

1. Keep Bedrooms Cool and Dark

Heat is one of the biggest sleep disruptors in summer. Keep blinds or curtains closed during the day to block out the sun, and open windows at night if it’s cooler outside. A blackout blind can also help little ones sleep longer despite earlier sunrises.

2. Establish a Calming Bedtime Routine

A consistent bedtime routine helps signal to the body that it’s time to wind down. A warm (not hot) bath, story time, and quiet activities can ease the transition to sleep—especially when paired with the right nutrients.

3. Limit Screen Time Before Bed

Blue light from tablets and TVs can interfere with melatonin production—the hormone that tells our bodies it’s time to sleep. Try switching to books, puzzles, or quiet play in the hour before bedtime.

4. Hydrate Wisely

Staying hydrated during the day is important, especially in warmer weather. But try to limit drinks right before bed to avoid wakeups in the night.

5. Support with Sleep-Friendly Nutrients

Sleep isn’t just about routine—it’s also supported by what we eat. Vitamins like B6 and magnesium help maintain a healthy nervous system and support restful sleep.

6. Encourage Outdoor Time

Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate the body’s internal clock. Playing outdoors also burns off energy—perfect for helping kids feel naturally ready for rest when bedtime comes around.
