The bedtime countdown
There are … sleeps until Christmas
A sleep is one night in bed before Christmas morning. Tonight counts as one, and the last one is Christmas Eve, which falls on a … this year. When you wake up after that final sleep, it's Christmas Day.
Little kids find sleeps easier to understand than days. "Seven more sleeps" makes sense at bedtime in a way that "a week" or "168 hours" doesn't. That's why many families count sleeps from December 1 onward.
Why sleeps and days can differ
The day count only goes down when a full 24 hours has passed. The sleep count goes down each night at midnight. So at 9 p.m. on December 23 there are still two sleeps left but just over one full day.
Ways to count sleeps at home
- Paper chain: make one loop per sleep and let the kids tear one off each morning.
- Advent calendar: most start on December 1 and give one small surprise for each of the 24 sleeps.
- Bedtime book: read one Christmas story each night and save the favorite for Christmas Eve.
- Elf on the shelf: the elf moves each night, which makes every sleep feel like an event.
