On Sunday morning, the clocks will change, going forward an hour, meaning we will all lose one precious hour of sleep, and while many might think this is a bad thing, for parents it may actually prove a 'miracle'.
If you've been wondering how to navigate the change with little ones and sleep, you're in luck as an expert has shared her top tips.
Jennifer Robinson, a gentle sleep consultant, has been helping parents get their children into a bedtime routine and sleep through the night with her Happy Sleep Coach business.
She's recently been sharing her top tips with The Mirror and has explained how struggling mums and dads can use the spring forward to their advantage.
The mum-of-two said that for those whose children often wake up at 5am anyway, this change will be the "miracle" they have been searching for, as their little ones will now automatically sleep in until 6am.
But for others, the change might not be so simple, so she's explained how parents can help their little ones adjust to the clock change on March 26.
Jennifer claims you can start the night before, on Saturday, by putting your child to bed half an hour earlier than usual which would "split the difference".
Alternatively, she says you can "do nothing" which you can do in one of two ways.
"Put them to bed an hour earlier, so if normal bedtime is 7pm, put them to bed at 6pm, but I wouldn't advise putting them to bed before 6pm," the expert explains.
"Or you can put them to bed at the new adjusted time of 7pm. This might mean playing around with naps in the daytime so their wake windows aren't too long as their naps will have shifted too. This suits more easygoing personality types," she continued.
The sleep expert went on to share some other tips for adjusting to the change, encouraging parents to keep an eye out for "sleepy cues" from their kids as they don't want to get "overtired".
She also suggests putting up blackout blinds in their room, as the light will change with time and light can be "overstimulating" for little ones, causing them to wake early if it's too bright.
Jennifer added: "If naps are messed up in the daytime, don't be afraid to offer them a 20 to 30-minute power nap to see them through until bedtime, but don't do this any later than 4pm.
"And overall, just don't stress too much about it, they will get back on track with their sleep in no time."
