Description

Black out curtains are a popular tool for helping people of all ages get better sleep. In this episode I’m talking you through when to use black out curtains and some of the unintended impacts I see with my clients. I discuss:

  • Why to use them. 
  • When to and when not to use them.
  • Some ways they can mess with sleep rhythms. 

Do you find black out curtains helpful for your little one? I’d love to hear.
