When this family contacted me, they were a bit skeptical that their determined toddler could figure out sleeping through the night. He was up several times throughout the night and then often up early to start his day. He was often cranky when he woke up in the morning and being tired affected his eating.

We talked through the details of their sleep plan and they began. The family said their little guy did a 180! He became happier, chattier in the morning, ate dinner better, and now wanted to get in bed! They were thrilled with the transformation that better sleep brought for their whole family! ✨

Bio Rhythm Times : 1 Nap

⭐️ Pay attention to your little one’s sleepy cues to know when to start the nap. Also note the quality of night sleep and previous naps to fine tune the timing. The exact time may shift each day depending on these things. That’s ok!

⭐️ When your little one first transitions to one nap, you may have to start the nap a little earlier and slowly push back as your little one can handle it.

8/9 months to 15/18 months

✨ Notice a range in the start of sleep times? Pay attention to your little one’s sleepy cues to know when to start the nap. Also note the quality of night sleep and previous naps to fine tune the timing. The exact time may shift each day depending on these things. That’s ok!

✨ Bio times (ranges given above) will give your child and your schedule consistency AND flexibility. You’ll generally know when naps will happen and you can accommodate your little one’s needs for the day.

✨ If naps are short and/or end early, don’t be afraid of an early bedtime! It’s your number one tool to prevent overtiredness and catch up on sleep debt.

4/5 months to 8/9 months

✨Notice a range in the start of sleep times? Pay attention to your little one’s sleepy cues to know when to start the nap. Also note the quality of night sleep and previous naps to fine tune the timing. The exact time may shift each day depending on these things. That’s ok!

✨ Naps 1 and 2 are your power naps at this age. Nap 3 is meant to be shorter and be a bridge to bedtime. Nap 3 is often harder for little ones to take- car naps and baby wearing may help to make this one happen and avoid an overtired baby at bedtime.

✨ The early bedtime is a great tool when naps are short or nonexistent. It can help prevent an overtired baby and prevent sleep debt from building up.

Understanding Sleep Science
Using a schedule instead of wake windows after 4/5 months

✨ Bio Rhythm Times
There are times during the day our bodies are best ready for sleep. When sleep happens during these times, sleep happens more easily, is more restorative, and can make for a more predictable schedule. This is why sleep schedules centered around bio times tend to work better than following wake windows.

✨ Circadian Rhythm
Starting at 4 months of age (adjusted after the due date), circadian rhythms start to develop. These are natural fluctuations and changes in the body including metabolism, body temperature, digestion, hormones, and more. This rhythm runs on a 24-25 hour cycle and is influenced by what we do- eating, sleeping, and the sun, among other factors.

✨ Sleep Pressure
As we stay awake, the body releases a chemical message, adenosine, which promotes the sleep drive or need for sleep. The longer a person is awake, the stronger the sleep pressure becomes. When we sleep, adenosine is broken.down– and the sleep pressure is released.

✨ Sleep Sweet Spots
When taken together, sleep “sweet spots” emerge. When sleep happens during these times, sleep is more restorative and will help your little one become better rested. Always follow their sleepy cues to fine tune their sleep time within these sweet spot sleep windows.
