A car ride is the last resort for some parents when the child does not want to sleep.

Electric cars are apparently particularly well suited to this.

Coventry (Great Britain) – The number of electric cars on the road is growing and growing – but many people are still critical of e-mobility.

On the one hand, many complain about a lack of range - but this is underestimated by many.

Others, on the other hand, are bothered by the scarce charging options - especially along the freeways, the options for charging with electricity are few and far between.

In addition, according to experts, every tenth charging station does not work properly.

However, according to a survey, those who have switched to an electric car usually do not want to return to the combustion engine.

Now a survey has revealed a benefit of e-cars that was probably unknown until now – something that parents of small children in particular should like.

According to a study by Citroën UK, children fall asleep better in electric cars than in combustion vehicles.

E-cars as a sleep aid for children: snoring is faster in the Stromer

As a survey of 2,000 parents with babies and small children by the car manufacturer Citroën in the United Kingdom showed, the offspring seem to fall asleep particularly well in e-cars.

56.4 percent of electric car or plug-in hybrid vehicle owners said their child fell asleep as easily or even more easily compared to a petrol or diesel model.

Only around 12 percent stated that the youngsters find it difficult to fall asleep in electric cars.

Children need significantly more sleep than adults – according to researchers, two-year-olds need up to 13 hours of sleep a day.

Survey: On average, children sleep in the car after about a quarter of an hour

While it's certainly not optimal from an environmental perspective, nearly half (44 percent) of parents reported taking their child on a short drive to help them fall asleep.

According to the study, it takes a child on average around a quarter of an hour (16.5 minutes) to fall asleep in the car.

96 percent of parents said their child usually falls asleep in less than half an hour.

However, because holiday trips in particular can usually take quite a long time, it is likely that the children will not sleep for the entire trip.

That's why parents should pay attention to a few things before going on vacation with their offspring, so that everyone arrives safely and relaxed at their vacation destination.
