Three and a Half Hours a Night for Eight Months: What Sleep Deprivation Actually Does to You and How to Survive It

Robbie's second born was a sleep terrorist. Average sleep score for the first eight months: three and a half to four and a half hours a night. The first two weeks were closer to two. He's not saying this to scare you — he's saying it so you know he's earned the right to talk about this.This is a practical, real-world episode on sleep training, sleep schedules, and getting your kids to sleep long enough that you can actually function as a human being. Not a perfect scientific framework — just what worked for his family, what didn't, and why having some kind of system is better than having none.Topics covered: why sleep training gets a bad reputation and what it actually involves, the specific methods and schedules Robbie and his wife used and why they helped, sleep regressions and what to do when everything falls apart again, why your kids sleeping well is directly connected to you being a better parent, and the honest truth that no matter what you do you're going to lose some sleep — but there are ways to lose less of it.Send a message about the episode!
