But as wild as the idea sounds, substantial medical evidence suggests some fascinating links between sleep and weight. Researchers say that how much you sleep and quite possibility the quality of your sleep may silently orchestrate a symphony of hormonal activity tied to your appetite.

Does it often take you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep at night? Or do you wake up frequently during the night — or too early in the morning — and have a hard time going back to sleep? When you awaken, do you feel groggy and lethargic? Do you feel drowsy during the day particularly during monotonous situations?
If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, you may have a “sleep debt” that is affecting you in ways you don’t even realize. And, you aren’t alone. A recent NSF Sleep in America poll found that a majority of American adults experience sleep problems.

Understanding Children’s Sleep Habits
Every living creature needs to sleep. It is the primary activity of the brain during early development. Circadian rhythms, or the sleep-wake cycle, are regulated by light and dark and these rhythms take time to develop, resulting in the irregular sleep schedules of newborns. The rhythms begin to develop at about six weeks, and by three to six months most infants have a regular sleep-wake cycle.
By the age of two, most children have spent more time asleep than awake and overall, a child will spend 40 percent of their childhood asleep. Sleep is especially important for children as it directly impacts mental and physical development.

16-month-old can’t fall asleep on her own 2001
I am sure this topic has been discussed before. However, we are fairly new to the newsletter. We are looking for advice on success, methods, warnings, etc. relating to helping our one-year old learn to fall asleep on her own. My wife breast fed her to sleep for the first twelve months. She is no longer breast feeding. We can get her to sleep with a bottle, but want to be able to put her down awake and have her fall asleep on her own. We are aware of the numerous “cry it out” methods and already have the books. In addition, our daughter has found her way into our bed and now wakes up 30min after being put down and wants to sleep with us. This is a huge problem because she is a big-time “thrasher” and we are afraid of hurting her or ourselves. We love the idea of having her sleep with us, but we also want our time together. Further complicating this is that our daughter’s crib is in our room. We will be moving her to another room. We are committed to teaching her how to fall asleep on her own for our sake and her own. Any help/advice on trying this with a one-year old would be appreciated.
My daughter just had her first birthday last week and has just started sleeping through the night. My husband and I thought it would never happen but it finally did. Of course, we’re now experiencing a minor set back because some new teeth are erupting and she has a cold, but nevertheless after she turned one, she gave us 2 weeks of 6-8 hours sleep a night.
We’ve got a routine that we follow and it seems to work for us, thought I pass this along – feel free to try anything.
