Every living thing with a central nervous system needs to sleep. It's considered to be one of the most important functions of the brain during the earliest stages of development. The 24 hour body clock is regulated by light and dark, but this regulation takes time to develop. Anyone with a newborn baby will experience the irregularity of sleep pattern during the first 3 to 6 months of the child’s life. After this most children will have mastered a regular sleep interval, providing the sleeping environment is conducive such as ensuring the correct room temperature, noise and light levels.

By the age of 2 your child has spent more time awake than asleep. Comprehensively, children will spend 40% of their childhood sleeping. The importance of them getting good and regular sleep is imperative to their mental and physical development. So how can we at Bloc Blinds help?
