Early rising guide

This guide is designed to help you get to the root of early rising, rather than just guessing or trying random fixes. We start by looking at your child’s individual sleep needs - how much sleep they actually require in a 24-hour period - and what truly drives sleep, so you can understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

From there, we work through the most common causes of early waking, helping you rule things out step by step. You’ll also find a deeper dive into practical, gentle strategies you can use to start shifting those early mornings later in a way that feels realistic and sustainable for your family.
