Sleep is IMPORTANT for YOU too!

Remember when we chatted with Eva about helping your kids get to sleep so you can rest better?  What if you finally get your kids to go to bed at a reasonable hour without the tantrums, screaming, and requests for another cup of water but now… You’re laying in bed wide awake. 😳 It’s now 11 PM 12:30 AM 2 AM And before you know it, the alarm is blaring and you’ve got to pull yourself out of bed to get your kids and yourself ready for the day. 😴 You’ve had little to no real sleep and believe me, I know from experience, sleep deprivation can really mess up your day.  Well, what can be done about it?  I’ve personally heard a lot about sleep coaches for children, but did you know there are sleep coaches out there for adults?!  This week I’m chatting with Talia who is an adult sleep coach and we’re diving into the topic of parents getting enough quality sleep so that we can be present and ready for the day’s adventures and challenges. Talia describes herself as a former chronic insomniac and having kids only exacerbated those sleep issues even more, which I know many of the parents I work with can relate to.  In this episode we discuss:    What do you do when your kids are (early) morning people but you’re absolutely not Understanding the role of chronotypes and how that impacts your parenting What revenge bedtime procrastination is and what to do about it Making a wind down routine work for you Plus, we have a heart-to-heart about the challenges of shutting off our brains when it’s time to fall asleep cause it seems like those 30 minutes before you commit to lying down is when your mind needs to rattle off your ever-growing to-do list and things to worry about.
