Does your child resist going to bed, wake during the night or get up super early? Do they wake up groggy, despite sleeping for a long time? Do they snore, breathe noisily, or wake in a tangle of bedclothes?
Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD, or do they have difficulty focusing? Are they a ball of energy, and just can’t sit still? Do they get sick often?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, chances are, your child has a sleep problem.
You are not alone. 25% of children have sleep problems, and these problems can start the pattern for a lifetime of health, behaviour and learning problems. On the flip side, when good sleep is the norm, kids can grow and thrive.

Explaining what ‘good sleep’ actually means
Sharing the raft of problems that can be caused by bad sleep
Common red flags for sleep problems, so you can assess your child
How you can optimise your child’s routine and environment to improve their sleep
Listing the range of medical practitioners and specialists who can help your child

With this book, your entire family will finally learn how you can get a good night’s sleep.

Quotes

  • Tatiana Vhas quoted2 years ago
    Bad sleep runs along a continuum, but pretty much anything that interrupts the quantity, quality and consistency of your sleep is somewhere on the bad scale, no matter how mild. Mild difficulties may be something you feel you can just put up with, but they have a hidden cost, leading to a build-up of sleep debt over time.
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted2 years ago
    Circadian rhythms determine daytime alertness and night-time sleepiness. Each person’s circadian rhythm varies, determining whether they are natural early risers or late to bed. These rhythms are highly dependent on environmental cues like light, sound, atmosphere and activity levels, but light is the prime factor because of its influence on the hormone melatonin which, when released in the brain as daylight fades, helps to trigger sleep onset.
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted2 years ago
    , what is good sleep? Good sleep is silent, uninterrupted sleep, for the recommended number of hours according to age, which results in waking refreshed. In the following pages, I’ll share the basics of how sleep works and what to expect when you and your kids are sleeping well.
