This is a great way to teach kids about the biology of sleep while making learning fun and interactive.

4. Pajama Day Movie Marathon:

- Declare it a pajama day and indulge in a cozy movie marathon. Pick films that are soothing or nostalgic to create a relaxed atmosphere.

5. Starry Night Stargazing:
