Better Sleep Solutions

Better Sleep Solutions

Every parent dreams of the perfect bedtime routine: a quick story, a goodnight kiss, and lights out until morning. But real life? Toddlers fight sleep with boundless energy, grade-schoolers push for one more story and teens stay up late scrolling TikTok. Sleep problems in children and teens are common, but pediatricians can play a key role in guiding families toward better rest.

In this episode, we explore how to help kids sleep better at every age. From gentle sleep training strategies for young children to managing insomnia and circadian rhythm shifts in teens, we'll break down practical, evidence-based approaches to pediatric sleep. Join us as we share the science and real-world tools that can help families build healthy sleep habits, for brighter mornings and better overall health.

We are joined by Stacey Simon, PhD. She is the Co-Director of Sleep Medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado and an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • Best sleep practices for different age groups
  • Addressing the most common sleep issues in children
  • Evidence around sleep training and if it's successful
  • Can medications be a helpful tool for sleep?
