The Sleep Signs Every Parent Should Know| Dr. Indu Khosla| Mukul Deora| E25

A child’s sleep problem doesn’t always look like a sleep problem. Sometimes it looks like poor focus, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, bedwetting, mouth breathing, snoring, or a child who wakes up tired despite “sleeping enough.”In this episode, Dr. Indu Khosla explains why children’s sleep health is deeply connected to growth, immunity, learning, hormones, behaviour, breathing, and long-term development. She breaks down how child sleep problems change from infancy to teenage years, what parents often get wrong about bedtime, and why screens, overstimulation, routines, and delayed sleep cycles are affecting children more than ever.The conversation also covers sleep apnea in children, REM and non-REM sleep, melatonin, baby sleep training, toddler sleep habits, teenage sleep deprivation, parasomnia, sleepwalking, mouth breathing, snoring, and ADHD-like symptoms linked to poor sleep.If you’re a parent trying to understand what healthy sleep really looks like, this episode gives you a clear framework for what is normal, what is not, and what signs should never be ignored.Topics covered:How sleep needs change from infancy to teenage yearsWhy screens and overstimulation affect children’s sleepBaby sleep training and common bedtime mistakesToddler sleep habits and the importance of routineTeenage sleep deprivation and delayed sleep cyclesREM sleep, non-REM sleep, melatonin, and circadian rhythmSnoring, mouth breathing, bedwetting, and sleepwalkingSleep apnea in children and why it can be missedHow poor sleep can look like ADHD-like symptoms or anxiety
