You pretty much have to accept that your sleep will never be the same again, even though things will get better.

You can try lots of things to get more sleep, but there’s also another thing to consider.

The quality of the sleep that you’re getting is important too.

If you’re sleeping but spending the night tossing and turning or waking up feeling sore, you might need to start improving how well you’re sleeping.

Better quality sleep will help you to wake up feeling more refreshed and focused.

Improve Your Bed

Having a baby is the perfect excuse for a new bed.

While you might be concentrating on buying things for the baby, treating yourself to something that will boost your quality of life is a good idea too.

You might not completely replace your bed, but a new mattress could make a huge difference.

Turn Down the Baby Monitor

Having a baby monitor set up helps you keep an ear out for your baby while they sleep in another room.

But, while it’s handy to be able to hear your baby cry, you might not want to hear every little noise.

If you’re a light sleeper and each tiny moan, whimper or sneeze your baby might make can wake you up, you might want to turn the volume down.

That way, you can hear if there’s crying but you won’t wake up just because your baby moved a bit.

 

Prepare Yourself for Bed

A good bedtime routine is good for your baby, and it’s also good for you.

Getting ready for bed should help you to wind down so that you can fall asleep quicker and get good quality sleep too.

Before you go to bed, you should stop using any screens or watching TV at least an hour before.

This prevents the blue light that screens give off from keeping you awake, and it means you won’t be overstimulated.

You might want to have a relaxing shower or bath or perhaps a hot drink, and you could even dim the lights to start making everything calm and quiet.

Create the Perfect Sleep Environment

Having the right environment to sleep in will also help you to sleep better when you’re not up with the baby.

You can pay attention to temperature, lighting, sound and even how tidy your bedroom is.

A neat and tidy room can be easier to sleep in than one that’s messy.

A lot of new parents use white noise to soothe their baby, and find that it helps them to sleep more soundly too.

 

You might not always get a lot of sleep with a baby in the house, but when you are sleeping, make sure it’s good quality.
