Sleepless in America

Ok, so I didn't actually read the entire book.  I did a quick speed to glean tips and ideas.  The information I found was extremely helpful.  I was reminded that bedtime is not the same as sleep time.  I have started making the hour before bedtime a calm, peaceful time at our home to help everyone wind down.  There is no tv, lights are dimmed and voices are quiet.  I've also been paying more attention to sleep cues from my youngest who will fight sleep until the bitter end. 

Overall Sleepless in America is full of many practical ideas and tips that are easy to implement.  I would recommend it to any parent.
