1. Consistent bedtime routine: Establish a predictable routine leading up to bedtime, starting at least 30 minutes before sleep. This routine could include activities such as a warm bath, reading a bedtime story, or listening to soothing music. Consistency and repetition will help signal to your toddler that it’s time to wind down.

2. Create a calm environment: Make sure the bedroom environment is quiet, dark, and comfortable for sleep. Use blackout curtains to block out any external light, and use white noise or a fan to drown out any disruptive sounds.

3. Limit screen time: Avoid exposure to screens (TV, tablets, smartphones) at least one hour before bedtime. The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep.

4. Engage in calming activities: Encourage activities that promote relaxation and calmness before bedtime. These could include gentle stretching exercises, quiet play with puzzles or coloring books, or engaging in soothing activities such as reading or listening to calming music.

5. Provide a balanced diet: Ensure that your toddler’s diet includes nutritious foods and avoids excessive sugar or caffeine intake, especially close to bedtime. A balanced diet can help regulate energy levels and promote better sleep.

6. Physical activity during the day: Engage your toddler in regular physical activities during the day to help burn off excess energy. Active play and outdoor activities can tire them out, making it easier for them to settle down at bedtime.

7. Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time for your toddler, even on weekends. Consistency helps regulate their body clock and establishes a predictable sleep routine.

8. Create a soothing bedtime routine: Incorporate calming activities into the bedtime routine, such as dimming the lights, singing a lullaby, or cuddling with a favorite stuffed animal. These soothing actions can help your toddler relax and associate them with sleep.

9. Offer comfort and reassurance: If your toddler has difficulty settling down, offer comfort and reassurance. Stay with them until they fall asleep if needed, or consider using a nightlight or a special blanket or toy for added comfort.

10. Consult a healthcare professional: If your toddler’s hyperactivity significantly affects their sleep and overall well-being, it may be beneficial to consult a pediatrician or a sleep specialist. They can provide personalized advice and recommendations based on your toddler’s specific needs.
