This is also the case for adults, with some of them gradually returning to the office, and schedules that are also disrupted.
Our tip? Put the children to bed 15 minutes earlier each night according to their usual bedtime during the summer. For tweens, it is recommended to set the bedtime around 8:30 pm, and 9 pm for teenagers.
