Simply note the time your baby wakes up. Play, feed, or engage with the baby for 90 minutes; then begin to soothe him back to sleep. That's right, 90 minutes after baby wakes up in the morning, it's time for a nap; and 90 minutes after the nap, it's time for another one. In a reassuring style, Dr. Moore explains how and why the program works for babies from two weeks to a year; and how to solve common problems including sleep issues due to illness or traveling across time zones"--

Includes bibliographical references."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. Sleep-wrecked Kids will teach you about how to solve your child's sleep problems, including: 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"--Amazon.

A century ago, sleep was considered a state of nothingness--even a primitive habit that we could learn to overcome. Then, an immigrant scientist and his assistant spent a month in the depths of a Kentucky cave, making nationwide headlines and thrusting sleep science to the forefront of our consciousness. In the 1920s, Nathaniel Kleitman founded the world's first dedicated sleep lab at the University of Chicago, where he subjected research participants (including himself) to a dizzying array of tests and tortures. But the tipping point came in 1938, when his cave experiment awakened the general public to the unknown--and vital--world of sleep. Kleitman went on to mentor the talented but troubled Eugene Aserinsky, whose discovery of REM sleep revealed the astonishing activity of the dreaming brain, and William Dement, a jazz-bass playing revolutionary who became known as the father of sleep medicine. Dement, in turn, mentored the brilliant maverick Mary Carskadon, who uncovered an epidemic of sleep deprivation among teenagers, and launched a global movement to fight it. Award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller weaves together science and history to tell the story of four outsider scientists who took sleep science from fringe discipline to mainstream obsession through spectacular experiments, tech technological innovation, and single-minded commitment."--Description based on publisher data; resource not viewed.
