The Child Sleep Duration & Routine Calculator helps parents monitor their child’s sleep to ensure adequate rest for growth, learning, and emotional health. Sleep patterns affect behavior, cognitive performance, and overall well-being.

Children with consistent sleep routines tend to have better academic performance and emotional regulation. Using this calculator regularly allows parents to make small adjustments in bedtime, wake-up time, and nap duration to optimize sleep.

This calculator computes total sleep by combining night sleep duration and nap duration. Night sleep duration = Wake-up time − Bedtime. Adjust total sleep based on age-specific recommendations.

Recommended sleep hours by age:

• 2–5 years: 10–13 hours/day
• 6–12 years: 9–12 hours/day
• 13–18 years: 8–10 hours/day

Use the results from the Child Sleep Duration & Routine Calculator to create a consistent bedtime and wake-up schedule. Encourage children to avoid screens at least 1 hour before bed and maintain a calm, dark sleeping environment. Proper sleep is crucial for mental and physical development.

Regularly tracking sleep can prevent sleep deprivation, support growth, and improve attention, learning, and mood. Adjust nap durations if the child’s total sleep falls below the recommended hours.
