Sunday, at 2AM, daylight savings time occurs and we “Fall Back.”
Parents oftentimes ask me how they should adjust their child’s sleep schedule.
Here is my reply:
Because bedtime relies on parental timing of active/quiet time, bathing, and dinner (and these parental cues are adjusted to the new clock time), then we can disregard the change in clock time.
If 6:30 PM is the right bedtime for your child Saturday night, then 6:30 PM is the right bedtime for your child Sunday night too.
For the families in our practice, your Sleep Apps should automatically adjust.
