▷▷▷How to stay a happy mom◁◁◁
When bedtime takes over an hour
and before you know it, you've fallen asleep with them...
leaving you with zero time for yourself.
When you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror at night,
you see a face aged by the exhaustion of the day...
The final hurdle of the day,“bedtime”
Whether this goes smoothly or not
completely changes a mom's free time at night
and her peace of mind.
In this post, I will introduce
“how to create a sleep routine”
and “effortless reward nighttime care”to help your child drift off to sleep easily!
✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼
STEP 1: Prevent falling asleep with them and long bedtimes!
“Systematizing a sleep routine”
✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼
The biggest causes of long bedtimes
are the child being overstimulated and the mom feeling impatient.
The more you think, “Please just go to sleep already!”
the more your child senses it and gets excited.
The trick to a smooth bedtime
is to naturally create a switchthat signals, “When we do this, it’s time to sleep.”
1. Set the room environment to “sleep mode”
15 minutes before moving to the bedroom,
dim the living room lights
to create a quiet environment.
Using soothing sleep sounds or
a nightlight is also effective.

2. “Bedtime bonding picture books”
Once you are in bed, make it a rule to read only 1 or 2 picture books before turning off the lights.
By saying, "It's time to sleep when this story is over,"
you help your child prepare mentally.

STEP 2: Reduce stress while putting your child to sleep

The time you spend lying down while patting your child to sleep
can cause frustration if your posture is uncomfortable
or if you get cold.
It is also important to ensure your own comfort
while you are putting your child to sleep.
1. "Loungewear" that lets you relax just by putting it on
By wearing loungewear made of soft cotton or gauze
that doesn't constrict,
your parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant,
allowing you to relax as well.

2. "Night Warmers" to keep your neck and shoulders from getting cold
It's a good idea to wear a neck warmer or leg warmers
so you don't get cold when your child kicks off the blanket
or when your posture is fixed while acting as a pillow.

STEP 3: Just apply it quickly during your me-time!

Once bedtime is safely over,
you have successfully won
"your night-time me-time"!!!
Because it's a tiring night,
rather than a multi-step routine,
"just apply and sleep"intensive beauty care
is the ultimate reward!!
1. "Sleeping Pack" that you just apply and sleep
If you use a pack that you just quickly apply
at the end of your skincare routine after washing your face and then go to sleep,
it locks in moisture all night long with zero effort.
The firmness and glow of your skin the next morning will change dramatically,
making it perfect for anti-aging care.

2. Aroma Spray to Improve Sleep Quality
Just a quick spray on your pillow or in the bedroom
creates an environment where you can sleep soundly
even with a short amount of rest.
The scents of lavender and bergamot
can help you reset from the day's fatigue.
It's also recommended as a gift✨
