As people grow older and lead busier lives, sleep often becomes an unconscious paradise longed for throughout the day. For children, however, sleep is often avoided at all costs. The world is new! Exciting! And must be explored!

Agatha and Dr. Greene delve into the circadian rhythm, ways to create sleep rituals, and even explain how we're affected by zeitgebers. (Hint: That's not a type of alien). With a little discipline, it's possible to cultivate good sleeping habits from even the earliest days, encouraging deep rest and relaxation so children are primed to be their most healthy and happy.
