In this episode we'll go through what exactly "sleep pressure" means, how you can ensure your child has enough sleep pressure, and what can happen if your baby doesn't have enough or is over tired!

Today's conversation is with Katie Watkins of Confidentially Katie -  Mom of three, self-love advocate, and true believer in the mental and physical benefits of exercise, her personal mission is to encourage women (especially Moms!) to put themselves on the top of their priority lists. Listen in to hear her story to finding body confidence throughout the journey of postpartum wellness and what led to sharing it all on @confidentiallykatie

We chat about the struggles parents face in making time for their own well-being, both of us having gone through this phase of becoming a parent and losing your own routine and, in some ways, losing what feels like a piece of your identity! What finding yourself looks like, and how important any kind of exercise and movement that you can fit into your lifestyle is to feeling good and making YOU a priority!

When it comes to a child’s room environment, dark is best... and yes this goes for adults too! Based on how our circadian rhythms work, our brains understand that it’s time for sleeping when the environment is dark.  

There is certainly an argument that babies should sleep in the light so they “learn” to sleep well anywhere. My counter-argument to that is this: If we, as humans, “learned” to sleep well under bright lights, none of us would have curtains in our bedrooms as adults. We wouldn’t need them! But we do need them – because humans all (babies and adults alike!) sleep better in the dark. Listen in to this episode for more information on babies sleep environment, and why dark is best!
