💤🎒 Don’t wait until the night before school to reset the routine.
Earlier bedtimes can be one of the toughest parts of the back-to-school transition — especially for parents and grandparents helping everyone get back into a rhythm.
Gradually shifting bedtime and wake-up times in the days leading up to school can help make the transition feel a little smoother for the whole household.
Try easing back into the routine by:
✅ Moving bedtime and wake-up time earlier little by little
✅ Returning to a consistent evening routine
✅ Keeping morning wake-up times steady
✅ Creating quieter evenings as school approaches

Sleep is only one part of the transition. Regular meals, movement, hydration, and consistent daily routines can also help support a healthier start to the school year.
And while you’re helping everyone else get back into routine, don’t forget your own health. Changes in schedule can affect sleep, stress, energy, and overall well-being for parents and grandparents too.
