Sleep expert recommends that parents put children to bed as early as 5.30pm

A sleep expert is urging parents to put their children to bed as early as 5.30pm - and claims it won't lead to them waking up during the night.

Autumn, who is a Child Sleep Coach and shares advice to her Instagram page @restgrowthrive, maintains that there are several benefits to giving youngsters an earlier bedtime. While admitting that an early sleep schedule can seem 'scary', she says that is a 'secret weapon' for making sure little ones get a good night of rest, Hull Live reports.

In one video, which has garnered more than 4.1 million views, Autumn explains: "Tell a parent to put their little one to bed at 5.30/6.00 p.m. and you’ll get some wide eyes. Trust me, I get it - an early bedtime can be SCARY!"
