Waking up feeling like a zombie? It’s not your mattress—it’s your sleep cycles! Your body goes through 90-minute sleep episodes all night long, from light sleep to deep sleep to dreaming about wild scenarios. If you wake up in the middle of a deep sleep phase, you’re bound to feel groggy and disoriented. The trick? Time your wake-up at the end of a sleep cycle, when you’re in light sleep (Stage 1 or 2). Aim for 5 or 6 cycles (7.5 or 9 hours) for that refreshed, ready-to-conquer-the-day vibe. Sweet dreams start with smart alarms! ⏰💤 #bettersleep #SleepTips #scienceexplained #Wellness

The dreaded 4 month regression is here (which is a really a PROGRESSION in their sleep cycles and abilities). Poppy went from sleeping through the night the majority of the time to waking multiple times a night and not being able to settle without a feeding 😩She is still taking amazing naps which I am so grateful for because my first daughter had horrible sleep day and night during her regression, but even just bad nights are rough. I was lucky with my second because her 4 month regression was just a little blip so truly every baby is different in how they respond to these changes. You can sleep train through a regression, but I would recommend only nap training because if you try to overnight sleep train you might be up ALL night and even more miserable. By starting with nap training, you can at least get them more comfortable with putting themselves to sleep which will help things improve. Don't expect these tips to be a magic fix. The best you can hope for is that following them improves their sleep slightly. Other than these tips, you just have to wait for this developmental stage to pass and do a little reset once it does so your babe can return to having great sleep (or gently sleep train for the first time!).

Fun fact-This is the only regression that is actually a permanent change. This regression is actually your baby maturing into their adult like sleep cycles! It’s also the perfect age for sleep training! #sleepconsultant #sleeptrainer #babysleeptips #babytok #babysleephelp #sleeptraining #babysleepconsultant #babysleep #sleepregression #4monthsold #babytiktok #sleepybaby
Tired of waking up groggy from naps? Here's the secret to waking up feeling refreshed and energized every time. Your body follows a 90-minute sleep cycle, with the first 30 minutes being light sleep so if you set your alarm for 30 minutes, you'll wake up in this rejuvenating phase, ready to conquer the day. But if you oversleep and hit deep sleep, that's when the grogginess sets in. By understanding your sleep cycle, you can ensure every nap leaves you feeling fantastic. #sleepcycle #powernap #healthtips
