Shownotes

If you've done any research about baby sleep, you've heard about overtiredness and how it can wreck sleep. And while yes, overtiredness can absolutely cause sleep challenges, we need to talk about undertiredness!

As a sleep coach and mom of four, I see undertiredness impacting sleep way more often than overtiredness.

In this episode, I share:

  1. What we mean when we say "overtired" and "undertired"
  2. How overtiredness and undertiredness impact baby and toddler sleep
  3. How to figure out if your little one is overtired or undertired

And more!

Finally, don't miss our FREE baby schedule guide to help you find that sleep pressure sweet spot!
