Guest Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 hi everyone i need to develop a chart to use in our baby unit for sleep time. it is a sleep chart to record when the children are checked every 10 mins. I didnt know if anyone has any examples of this as i just can't think how to lay it all out. many thanks to anyone who can help me Mandy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 A simple table should suffice - decide how frequently you want children checking, and then divide the working day up - if they're awake, or aren't in, say so! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill_Oliver Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Mandy, I have attached ours which is quite simple. Sleep 1 we use for morning sleeps. Sleep 2 for afternoon sleeps and sleep 3 for tea time sleeps. Obviuosly some of them sleep at different times so if we have one sleep from 10-30-11am we mark those times in sleep 1 and then if another baby goes down at 11.10 we simply leave a line space and start recording the next times. Hope that helps. Gill sleep.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Mandy, Another option which we found works well is using a book, less paper, we just write the date at the start of the day then as the children fall asleep we just write there name, time went to sleep and initial every 5mins when we check them. We found his way all the information is in one place rather than having different sheets for different children and different weeks Abbey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi all a related query as i am currently looking at day care for my daughter - how often is it recommended sleep checks should be carried out - one setting i visited was only checking every half hour.

sarah85 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 We have a laminated sheet, with a table on it. We write each childs name up each day then write each time and initial it , in each box for the duration of the sleep. Depending on the amount of children and sleep length you made need more than 1 sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
