SFP 98: Sleep + Parenthood [with Dr. Kennedy of NYC Sleep Doctor]


Listen Later

Parenthood is notoriously associated with sleep deprivation. Good sleep goes beyond just getting kids to sleep through the night. Do any of these things resonate with you?

  • At the end of a long day you desperately need sleep, but you can’t put your Instagram/Netflix away.
  • You drink coffee to wake you up in the morning and wine to help you go to sleep at night.
  • You wake up in the middle of the night with a to-do list a mile long.
  • You are so incredibly exhausted but yet you can’t fall asleep.
  • Getting a good night sleep is important for your physical health and mental health. But it’s also important for the well-being of your family. Because if you are tired and irritable, you may struggle to be calm, present, and mindful with your children and spouse. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Janet Kennedy, the NYC Sleep Doctor. Dr. Kennedy and l discuss the barriers to being well-rested as a parent and tips for improving your sleep hygiene

    You can get Dr. Kennedy’s book here, or visit her at NYC Sleep Doctor.

    What’s keeping you up at night?
