One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of sleep when it comes to sleep training is a baby's schedule.

Often the first thought when trying to improve a child's sleep is which sleep training method to use. But, successful sleep training is much more than just figuring out how you will or will not respond to your child at a time for sleep.

In this episode, you can expect the following: 

> brief review of what healthy sleep means or, as I like to call it, "CATRing to your child's age".

> brief review of the acronym ESRA+, pronounced ez-ruh-plus. This is a term to help you remember the five main areas to consider when evaluating your child's sleep and creating an effective sleep plan.

> description of five circadian rhythms that contribute to sleep development.

> list of five major influencers on the circadian rhythms. Aka? Influencers of sleep and timing of sleepl.
