65. Wake Windows Explained: Stop Stressing and Start Sleeping

Wake windows. If you're a parent, you've probably spent more time thinking about them than is healthy. You set alarms, obsess over exact minutes, and stress about whether you're doing it "right." But here's the deal: wake windows aren't the problem, it's how you're using them. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the clock, this episode is for you. I'll teach you how to use wake windows as a flexible guide (because, spoiler alert, they're not meant to be a rigid rule). I'll also explain when to ditch the wake windows for a clock schedule and why your baby's circadian rhythm craves consistency, not chaos. In this episode, I'm breaking down the truth about wake windows and why obsessing over them only makes bedtime harder. Whether you're trying to get your newborn to sleep more or just figuring out when to ditch that third nap, this episode will give you the practical tips to stop fighting your baby's sleep and start working with it.
