Ages 3–5

Little Bodies, Big Sleep Needs

The preschool years bring big changes: naps fade at different ages, routines matter a lot, and children are learning to settle with less help.

What’s different at this age

  • Many children are moving from one nap to none, and the timing varies widely between children.
  • Predictable routines and visual steps help children know what comes next.
  • Requests after lights-out, fears and needing a caregiver nearby are common and workable.
  • Learning happens through play and practice, not lectures — which is why the family app includes Play Together activities.
