  • Great resource!

    We used Jessica’s REST method at a time we needed it most for our 2 1/2 year old. It was an answer to our prayers, and life changing! Now we are headed into the next chapter of a big boy bed, so we look forward to learning from Jessica once again!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Toddlers and Sleep Science with Dr. Sujay Kansagra
Q: Is melatonin appropriate for kids?
Melatonin is not a universal solution; it can help circadian rhythm adjustments in specific cases, but for most behavioral sleep issues in healthy toddlers, behavioral strategies are preferred and melatonin should be used with pediatrician guidance.
Toddlers and Sleep Science with Dr. Sujay Kansagra
Q: When should a child transition to a big kid bed?
Wait as long as safely possible, ideally around age 3, ensuring they are sleeping well and can stay in bed independently; delaying transition supports skill development for independent sleep.
Toddlers and Sleep Science with Dr. Sujay Kansagra
Q: How should parents think about fragmentation versus consolidation of sleep?
While fragmentation doesn't automatically make sleep less restorative, maintaining adequate 24-hour sleep and minimizing long awakenings is important for daytime function and behavior.
Toddlers and Sleep Science with Dr. Sujay Kansagra
Q: What science tells us about the importance of sleep?
Sleep supports brain development, behavior, and learning; it is a biological imperative shared across species, and insufficient sleep worsens many medical and behavioral conditions in children.
Your BIGGEST Toddler Bedtime Questions ANSWERED | Q&A
Q: My four-year-old won't stop talking at bedtime. How can I nicely make her stop?
A practical approach is to plan for talking time in advance, perhaps with a four- to five-minute limit, and use a timer so the child has ownership. Maintain the bedtime routine's positive elements, but establish boundaries around talk time to ensure sleep happens on schedule, using the timer as the 'bad guy' and keeping the child engaged with a clear, achievable limit.
