If your children have been burning the candle at both ends this summer you might be wondering, like I am, how on earth you’re going to get them back into school mode in time for the autumn term.
This is the one and only occasion when beautiful handmade children’s beds let me down - if only a little. You see, they are just toooooo comfy and impossible to get out of in the morning!

However, thanks to clever internet company, Web Blinds, there might just be a solution - namely their innovative Back to School Sleep Calculator which helps to set your little ones back on track.
Simply enter your child’s age, the time they go to sleep and wake up during the holidays, plus the number of days they have left until the start of term and the device will compute a suitable pattern to ease them into those required early starts. Handy eh?
A spokesperson for Web Blinds said: “Slipping out of a structured routine can be much easier than getting into one – especially after six or seven weeks of late nights and long lie-ins.
“That’s why the Back-to-School Sleep Calculator eases children into their term-time sleep pattern over as many days as possible.”
Fingers crossed it will do the trick and our children will be up with the lark on that first day of term with a spring in their step and a song in their hearts...And pigs might fly. It’s a horrible day and one that fills me with dread, never mind the children. The words “back to school” still make my stomach do a few somersaults and I’m a married mother of two who finished my education, ahem, quite a few years ago!
But I mustn’t get ahead of myself. Sort out their slumber and their eagerness will follow...Now if only there was a magic app for that!
