The Importance of Comfortable Sleep

Sleep is essential for our bodies. It’s the time when we physically and mentally reset. Unfortunately, more and more people struggle with sleep issues and it doesn’t only affect adults, children can be impacted too.

That’s why it’s so important to do everything we can to make sure nothing and no one disturbs us while we sleep.

What can we do ourselves?

• Choose a bed that’s the right size so you can stretch out comfortably

• Keep the bedroom cool, ideally around 20–22°C

• Block out noise and light

• Avoid heavy meals at dinner

• Wear comfortable pyjamas and use breathable bedding

• Move your body regularly

These simple tweaks can improve sleep quality, which carries through into the whole day. Restorative sleep can boost memory, concentration and mood, and even support the immune system. It also helps reduce stress, as the body produces fewer stress hormones during sleep.

For young children, sleep habits and their environment deserve special attention because good sleep is vital for healthy growth and development.

Sleep needs change as children grow

A child’s sleep requirements evolve with age. It’s important to make sure their sleep set-up is both safe and comfortable. When creating the sleep environment, choose materials and products that support optimal rest. In this respect, the LiaaBébé zip-up bamboo sleepsuit is a great option for little ones.

Bamboo pyjamas provide cosy comfort for toddlers at bedtime and nap time. The fabric is soft and breathable, helping the skin to breathe and reducing overheating and excessive sweating that can cause discomfort. Thanks to the zip fastening, they’re easy on and off — which makes night-time nappy changes quicker and calmer without fully waking your baby.
