Synchronized Sleeping (Sleep Like A Baby #3)
Sleep’s cyclical nature means there are also times throughout the night when you’re sleeping more lightly and are easier to waken. How can you increase the likelihood that your sleep cycles will mesh with your baby’s?
Sleeping Across Cultures (Sleep Like A Baby #2)
Parents don’t discuss their own sleep patterns in sleep deprivation posts because we as a culture take it for granted that interrupted sleep sucks, so no one feels the need to explain what’s bad about it.

But this approach to interrupted sleep is relatively new in human history, and it isn’t the only way to deal with the problem.

What’s the difference between me and the crazy tired parents? I suspect part of it may be our sleep practices.
