Fascinating Sleep Fact:

Do you know why SLEEP is so important for your MEMORY?? 

Your daytime experiences are stored in your hippocampus and when you sleep, that information is moved to your cortex. Thus, with proper sleep cycles, you wake in the morning with yesterday's experiences safely filed away and you have also regained your short term memory capacity for new learning and activities.

I am sure you are rolling your eyes and saying "No wonder, I cant remember anything during the day"....Yes, it is true, if your child is waking you up at night this will affect your memory.

Not to worry, there is always a way to solve your child's sleep struggles. One of the ways, is to ask me a question so I can give you a customized response during my Thursday Facebook Lives.

For example, last week, Deanna asked some amazing questions that allowed me the great opportunity to talk about the following:

  • How to manage sleep coaching during a 2 nap-to-1-nap transition;

  • When to consider switching sleep coaching methodologies;

  • Understanding a major pit-fall by getting "stuck in the room" during the sleep coaching process because your child HATES when you leave.

If you would like a custom solution to your sleep questions, than don't delay, submit your questions by 12pm PST on THURSDAYs
