Getting children to go to bed can be a challenge, but now scientists have crafted the 'perfect bedtime routine' for youngsters aged between two and eight. 
University of Manchester psychologists set out to scientifically define a 'good bedtime' by scoring different routines and activities over a period of seven days.   
They found that a combination of activities including the obvious like brushing teeth or reading a bedtime story were essential, but it also helped to talk to children.
The authors say parents should aim to score over 50 points from various activities to achieve and effective bedtime routine on consistent basis.
