Thread Name: BS: Your bedtime ritual
Subject: RE: BS: Your bedtime ritual
If you want your kids to go to bed easily, apparently, the best thing is to have a set routine for bedtime - and *always play the same music*. Or so I'm told by behavioural types, one of whom said that her daughter, aged 15, still starts to yawn and rub her eyes when a particular CD is played - the CD that was always her bedtime music when she was little!
I certainly find that a bedtime with classical music, reading, a bath and a scenter drifting the scent of lavender around the place leads to a more restful sleep than going to bed, turning the TV on with my toe and watching people blasting at each other and screaming and cursing, as is the wont of late-night cop shows.
