Tired signs

Tired signs fall into two categories: early and late.

It is very important that parents learn to recognize the early tired signs, when the child shows that he or she is tired and ready to go to bed. If you miss this point, your baby will become overtired and late tired signs will set in, when cortisol ("stress hormone") levels will rise so high that it will be very difficult for the child to calm down and fall asleep. At such times you should not try to put him or her to sleep on his or her own. You need to help a child relax and fall asleep.

Early tired signs:

• Yawning.
.
• Relaxation and slowness.
• Staring at one point.
• Capriciousness, whining, but not hysterical.
• Fist or finger sucking.
• Rubbing of the eyes and ears.

Late tired signs:

• Strong crying.
• Tantrums.
• A baby refuses to be held.
• A baby rejects touches.
• Tense body.
• Demanding.
