The ultimate sleeping conditions; embracing outdoor napping in early childhood

Some of the benefits of sleeping outdoors and the reason we are adopting this practice are as follows;

• Natural light exposure. Exposure to natural light helps our body clocks to reset which allows for an increased production in melatonin at the right times. This produces a more restful, better quality of sleep at night
• Reduces coughs and colds – Breathing fresh air reduces the circulation of germs indoors and benefits children’s health and overall bodily functions due to the increased oxygen levels outdoors
• Reduced stress – Listening to the sounds of the wind gently rustling through the trees and the birds…the sounds of nature, is calming and peaceful. The rest had outdoors is often deeper and of better quality than indoors
