Why it’s OK to let your child sleep in!

 

In this episode, I talk about the importance of sleep.

 

How teenagers have a different sleep cycle than parents and why it’s important for us to adjust to this.

 

16 million adults say that they have sleep problems - so I offer some suggestions on how to reduce the stress of trying to get a good night’s sleep

 

I explain :

✔️ Why sleep is important.
✔️ What to do if you cannot get to sleep
✔️ What to do if you wake in the night

 

In this episode I give you 3 practical exercises that will help you :

✔️ 4-7-8 Method

✔️ 5-4-3-2-1 Happy Place

I also give you my own Sleep Routine: LASTS:
