Well, you're not alone. According to First magazine, one in every 3 kids has trouble falling asleep at night. So to help them out, here are a few tricks you can try:

• The temperature trick. Drop the temperature in your house to 68 degrees an hour before bedtime. Cooler temperatures help the body produce melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. And feeling cold will make them want to snuggle up under their warm covers.
• Induce sleep with a scent. Dab a drop of essential oil, like lavender or chamomile, on the bulb of your child's nightlight. These scents trigger the release of serotonin, a brain chemical that calms the activity in the nervous system and puts the kid in "rest mode."

And finally, to help your child fall asleep, give them a mini-massage. Put the palm of your right hand on your child's forehead so your fingers are parallel to their eyebrows. The sweep your hand up toward their hairline 10 times. Do the same with your left hand. This'll get rid of the excess energy that's accumulated around their brain during the day, and calm their overactive mind.
