Expert Chireal Shallow, psychologist, on sleeplessness in children

Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

'It's important for children to get the right amount of sleep, as this will affect growth, function and emotional states. But I'd suggest not letting a toddler or pre-schooler sleep later than 3pm. If they nod off near 3pm, let them have a 30-minute power nap.'
