⁠Little ones can become overtired easily. When they become overtired, more of the stress hormone cortisol is released, making it harder for them to fall asleep and drift from one sleep cycle to another. Often, parents become fixated on the time on the clock and put their little ones down according to set times. This can result in parents attempting to put little one’s down when they are undertired or overtired

Given that sleep is not under our conscious control, parents will have more success putting their little ones down according to their biological clock (circadian rhythm), which is when they naturally come to a lull and are ready for bed or that nap

But how do we know when they are ready for bed?

We always want to be guided by awake windows and sleepy cues.

Awake window is a fancy term for how long babies are awake in between naps. Parents need to find that delicate balance between their little ones being awake long enough to sleep well, but not so long that we cause an overtired meltdown. You can refer to the awake window norms, but keep in mind that every baby and toddler is different. Always be guided by the age-appropriate awake window norms and your little one’s sleepy cues.

EXPERT GURU TIP: The first awake window of the day is often the shortest. The awake window is also likely to be on the shorter side following a short nap.

Getting the awake windows right for your little one and knowing their cues will lead to better sleep!
