A good night’s rest is easier when you steal four steps from a toddler’s bedtime routine

1.  Set a consistent bedtime.  Consistent bedtimes help toddlers . . . and you.
2.  Take a bath.  Taking a warm bath or shower one or two hours before bed helps you fall asleep faster.
3.  Put on lotion.  Put on lotion and give yourself a slight massage as you do it.  That will help you relax.
4.  Do something quiet before bed.  Toddlers get stories or reading time with their parents before bed.  Doing something that’s quiet and calming can help you too.
