Sleep Success

A practical, easy to follow guide designed to support families through periods of change, whether that’s starting school, returning after a break, or simply adjusting to new rhythms.

If nights have become unsettled, mornings feel rushed, or emotions are running high, this guide helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and how sleep can support calmer days.

Rather than rigid rules, it offers flexible ideas you can adapt to your child, your family, and your real life, helping transitions feel more manageable and supported.

Inside the guide you’ll find:

  • A clear explanation of how changes and transitions impact sleep and emotions

  • Ways to support children who find separation, new environments, or busy days harder

  • Guidance on creating a sleep supportive environment that works for different sensory needs

  • Simple ideas to help evenings feel calmer and mornings feel less rushed

  • Tools to build predictability and emotional safety around sleep and school days

  • A printable back to school checklist to help you focus on what matters most

This guide is suitable for preschoolers through to primary aged children, and can be used anytime transitions or change start to affect sleep, not just at the start of the school year.
