Episode The Time Change Without the 5 A.M. Wake-Ups
Move bedtime before the clock moves. When the clocks fall back, your child’s body clock doesn’t, so she gets sleepy early and wakes up early. In this episode, a clinical psychologist and mom of four gives you the exact two-night plan her family uses every time.
You’ll get the bedtimes for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, how to shift naps, a gentler four-night version for babies and sensitive sleepers, and how to handle the 5 a.m. wake-up.
The finding on how long sleep stays off after the fall time change comes from Lahti and colleagues (2008), published in BMC Physiology.
