About this bedtime routine chart

A consistent bedtime routine helps children fall asleep more easily. This chart lists a short wind-down sequence (bath, pyjamas, brush teeth, toilet, story, cuddle, lights out) with a star to colour each night.

Babysitters and grandparents can follow the same routine, which helps a lot on nights you’re out.

What’s on the page

  • A tracker grid with a row for your bedtime steps and a star for each day of the week.

Tips

  • Keep the routine to about 20–30 minutes.
  • Start at the same time every night.
  • Dim lights and switch off screens an hour before bed.

Made to fit, then printed

Everything on this bedtime routine chart can be changed before you print: the title, the bedtime steps, the dates, the colour, the paper size and orientation. The page is drawn on your device and nothing is uploaded. Find more printables.

Frequently asked questions

What time should children go to bed?

It depends on age and wake-up time; school-age children need about 9–12 hours of sleep. Work back from when they need to wake up.

Can I print several weeks at once?

Yes. Pick the start date and how many weeks you need; each week gets its own page with the right dates, all in one PDF.

Can I fill in the bedtime routine chart on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Switch on “Fillable PDF” before downloading and the PDF gets typing boxes and tick boxes you can use in most PDF apps. Or print it and use a pen.

What paper size should I print on?

Choose A4 or US Letter before downloading, and print at 100% or “Actual size”. Portrait and landscape layouts are both available.

Will it print well in black and white?

Yes. The layout uses light fills and clear lines that print cleanly in grey. Choose the “Grey” colour to save colour ink entirely.
