In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Emily Varon about sleep! Emily Varon is a BCBA with a dedicated focus on sleep-related behaviors. She takes the complicated issue of pervasive sleep problems and helps behavior analysts develop  appropriate and ethical behavior plans for improving the quality of sleep for consumers and their caregivers. Her focus on sustainability of sleep habits versus “good” or “bad” habits offers families and clinicians a broader, long-view perspective of sleep, resulting in more sustainable results over time.

We discussed:
- Why is sleep a behaviour analytic issue?
- Is sleep a behaviour?
- Common sleep issues
- Top sleep tips
- and much more!
