Overview
- Hindustan Times and News18 highlighted guidance from psychotherapist Dr Chandni Tugnait of Gateway of Healing outlining four practical steps for children’s sleep on December 21.
- Her advice centers on a calming pre-bed routine, consistent sleep and wake times that stay close on weekends, a sleep-friendly bedroom, and brief emotional unwinding practices.
- Dr Tugnait said steady routines can boost mood, focus and emotional balance, with chronic sleep loss in children linked to higher risks of obesity, mood issues and learning challenges.
- On December 22, sleep physician Dr Christopher J Allen shared two rules for better rest: wake at the same time every day and keep bed and wake times within a 30-minute window.
- Hindustan Times noted Allen’s tips came from his social media post and were published as general information rather than independently verified medical advice.
