 Preschoolers typically sleep 11-13 hours each night and most do not nap after five years of age. As with toddlers, difficulty falling asleep and waking up during the night are common. With further development of imagination, preschoolers commonly experience nighttime fears and nightmares. In addition, sleepwalking and sleep terrors peak during preschool years.

Sleep Tips for Preschoolers

•Maintain a regular and consistent sleep schedule.
•Have a relaxing bedtime routine that ends in the room where the child sleeps.
•Child should sleep in the same sleeping environment every night, in a room that is cool, quiet and dark – and without a TV.
