Description

If your little one is waking before 6 AM and you’re running on fumes, you’re not alone! In this episode, we’re diving into early morning wake-ups—what causes them, when they’re biologically normal, and how to shift them when they’re not.


We’ll explore how circadian rhythms impact early wake-ups and environmental factors that may be contributing to your early morning wake up call. We’ll also break down the role of daytime sleep, looking at both under-tiredness and overtiredness, and how adjusting naps and wake windows can help build the right amount of sleep pressure.


If you’ve been struggling with early mornings and aren’t sure how to make a change, this episode is for you. We’re breaking it all down so you can support your little one in getting more restful sleep—without sleep training. 💛
