Nap Transitions
Wouldn’t it be nice if all babies had the same sleep schedule? If they all took the same number of naps for the same length each day? And they all went to bed and got up at the same time each day? The reality is, a baby’s nap schedule is constantly changing and can be confusing and frustrating to navigate. One day she takes a 30 minute nap, then a 2 hour nap the next day, and t ...

My 3 year old LOVES his crib, and I am pretty sure he would sleep there until he was teenager if I let him. However, last month because of our kids’ ages and sleep quarters, we decided it was time to transfer him into a new room with his brother into a big boy bed.

Teenage Sleep
Do you ever wonder why your teenager suddenly wants to become a night owl? Or why it is so hard for them to get up and get going in the morning? Why is it that when we ask them to get up at 8am, it seems like we are asking them to wake up at 6am? Believe it or not, they are not just being difficult, there is an actual shift in their circadian rhythm that makes there sleep go th ...

Working with Shannon, I went from 2-3 wake ups every night to 1 or 0. She aligned the plan with my preferred sleep cycle. She was always coaching, never judging. Shannon was great, I have referred MANY people to her! That's the best testament to her work that I can give.
