The more sleepy you are, the more you don't sleep? Overtired may be the answer. 😴

How to reset the ball at Overtired 😴👶🏻

Have you ever...

You look very sleepy, yawning, rubbing your eyes, getting bent, but when you go to bed, you won't sleep.

I carried it, I lulled it, sometimes I fell asleep for 20 or 30 minutes, and I woke up again.

We might think, "You're not tired enough."

So try to play a little more, but sometimes the opposite

The baby may be overtired or "overly sleepy."

Is that you stay awake too long until your body is awake. Stress hormones like Cortisol and Adrenaline may contribute to your sleep.

Therefore became a circuit that many houses encountered

The more sleepy → the more bent → the harder to sleep → short sleep → wake up the more bent

And we began to wonder, "OK, are you sleepy or not sleepy?"

A sign that says the baby may be overtired.

Try to observe the child.

• Very sleepy, but when I lay back and refused to sleep

• Cry hard before bed

• Hold asleep, but wake up

• Sleep shortly and wake up

• Struggling and pushing

• Yawn, rubbing your eyes, but more bent

• Night wakes more often than usual

It does not mean that there is one condition, it must be overtired, but if many symptoms come together after a long time of waking up, think about it.

And if you're overtired, how do we reset?

For Ma Mie, the important thing is not to put the baby to sleep.

Let's think about it simply.

Calm down. → Then sleep.

1. Stop all activities first

You're getting sleepy. Don't keep playing to make you "tired."

Stay Tummy Time Flash Card Toys, Music or Activities That Keep Your Child Awake

If many people play, it decreases first.

Now you need to reduce the stimulus.

2. Take into the bedroom

Don't wait to cry hard

Take it to a room where the light is dim or dark, the atmosphere is quiet, the air is comfortable, and if you use White Noise regularly at home, it's normal.

Make everything simple.

3. Make the baby "calm" before "sleep."

Sometimes you don't sleep because you're not sleepy, but because you're still awake.

Try holding Naybok, stroking his back, gently rocking, or talking to his child in a soft voice.

Speak to your child softly, like, "It's time to sleep, sir." Use the same voice and do something calmly.

When you relax, it's usually easier to get to sleep.

4. The day the child is very overtired. Don't be serious about sleeping.

This one I want you to remember.

Today, the goal is to "let the baby sleep."

It's not "need to sleep."

If you have to carry, lull, suck, or use your familiar ways to sleep, you can.

Doesn't mean we're ruining your sleep. You're tired. You're helping him rest.

Once you get enough sleep, go back to your usual ways.

5. Short sleep. Don't rush to carry it immediately.

If you move, make a sound, or act like you're awake, but you haven't cried hard,

Let's wait a few minutes.

Sometimes the baby can sleep by itself.

But if you sing seriously, you can comfort me.

6. If the nap is broken all day today, make up for the sleep.

Don't think

"Not to sleep in the day. I'll sleep tonight."

Children who are very sleep deprived do not always mean to sleep more easily.

If the nap is very small, additional naps may be taken or bed time is moved to 30-60 minutes faster.

Don't try to get the schedule back in one day. Just get the baby back to rest.

What not to do

❌ forced the ball to play until tired.

❌ Turn on the screen to stop crying.

❌ Get out and meet a lot of people before bed.

❌ change the way you lull around every 1-2 minutes.

❌ forced me to wake up hoping the night would fall asleep.

Because the more awake, the harder it is to get back to sleep.

How to prevent overtired from recurring?

The easiest way is not to wait for you to get sleepy until you cry.

Let's catch a small signal before that.

Yawn → Poop Look → Slow Play → Sleepy Start → Bent

After seeing it, gradually reduce activity and bring it to sleep.

Don't wait for your baby to rub your eyes hard or cry first.

You don't have to worry about waking up for the same amount of time every day because each day is not the same.

Some days sleep well. The waking period can be longer, but some days the nap is broken, it may have to go to bed earlier.

So what we're looking at is not just the clock, but the signal from the baby.

A simple summary.

If you feel like you're overtired,

Stop the stimulus → Take in the bedroom → Calm → Help sleep → If the nap is broken, it helps compensate → Later days catch the signal faster.

No reset in any special way.

Sometimes the best reset is to stop everything and tell you,

"Okay, that's enough today... let's go to sleep." 🤍

Because finally,

A child who sleeps well. Not the most tired.

But the child who slept the most "right time"
