Create an effective evening routine for your child with Fabli, the perfect bedtime story box!

🌙 Why the evening routine is essential

The latest research in neuroscience and pediatrics confirms that a consistent evening routine improves children's sleep and overall well-being.

A 2021 study published in Sleep Health shows that children with a stable routine fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and have fewer nighttime awakenings .

The Sleep Foundation also points out that the evening routine acts as a signal to the brain: gestures and sounds repeated each evening physiologically and emotionally prepare the child for sleep .

🧠 The three pillars of an effective evening routine

1. Predictability and regularity

Researchers recommend that the routine take place at a fixed time and in the same order, in order to create psychological safety .

Example :

• Relaxation / bath
• Story or lullaby
• Dim the lights and put to bed

With Fabli : you can create a personalized evening playlist , always playing the same sounds or stories, to reinforce this feeling of reference.

2. Soothing sensory atmosphere

Research in environmental psychology shows that controlling sensory stimuli (sound, light, temperature) is a key factor in promoting sleep.

• Light : dim gradually (prepare the body for the secretion of melatonin).
• Sound : favor slow lullabies (60-80 BPM), soft white noise or calm stories .

With Fabli : you can alternate between nature sounds (gentle rain, crackling fire) and traditional lullabies to gradually bring the child to a state of relaxation.

3. Emotional connection and emotional security

According to a 2020 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics, sharing a story or song with a parent before bedtime not only promotes sleep, but also attachment and language development.

With Fabli : you can record your own voice reading a story or singing a lullaby, so your child can find this sound cue, even in your absence.

🎯 Recommended methodology (validated by experts)

1. Start 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime
   Gradually reduce stimulating activities (screens, intense physical games).
2. Always repeat the same sequence
   For example: pajamas → brushing teeth → listening to Fabli.
3. Use sounds as a transition signal
   Play soft music or white noise for 5 minutes to signal that the activity phase is over.
4. End with narrative content
   A quiet story with Fabli helps focus attention, soothe emotions, and drift off to sleep.
