To ease night-time battles with your toddler set a relaxing night time routine with a strict bedtime. Let the baby make choices such as which pajamas to wear and allow a favorite toy or blanket in bed. Avoid scary stories and movies and imagine happier endings for nightmares to dilute frightening dreams. Also, make sure they nap in the day but limit sleeping after mid-afternoon.

If sleep is on your mind, know that temperature too can play a big part in how easily you fall asleep and how well you sleep through the night. If you’re too cold, you may wind up waking up often to visit the bathroom. Too hot and you’re likely to sweat and sleep fitfully. Researchers have zeroed in on an ideal range of between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit for adults and 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit for toddlers and babies. So use bed linen, duvets, the right nightwear, and your thermostat to hit that sweet spot all year round!
