This book is dedicated, with all my love, to Linda
As night falls, the weary creatures of earth,
And the woods and the frothing seas,
Grow calm like the stars as they circle their course,
And sleep with quiet ease.
And so all creatures far and wide,
From the craggy fields to the glassy lakes,
Stretch and live neath the silent night,
And sleep takes away their worries and aches.
V IRGIL , The Aeneid (translation by Jed Weissbluth)
A friend recommended this book to me when my first child, Presley, was seven months old. I was still nursing, but getting ready to stop, and definitely ready to stop the 4:00 a.m. feeding. Also, we had let Presley get into the bad habit of only wanting to sleep on someone. This was great when I needed an excuse for a nap, but not so convenient on busy days.
I devoured the book back then in a matter of hours and put the principles into practice immediatelywith instant results. I especially liked how Dr. Weissbluth taught me to watch out for my childs sleepy signs and then encouraged me to get him to bed before he became overtired. I was also very comforted by Dr. Weissbluths explanation of sleep as one of your childs basic needs. You offer healthy food to your child when shes hungry. You must also offer sleep when your child is tiredeven if she doesnt know it or thinks she doesnt want it (just like my kids didnt usually choose the vegetable on their own!).
As a correspondent for Good Morning America, I had the good fortune to interview Dr. Weissbluth as a part of a series called Babys First Year. He became a trusted resource and adviser, not only on the topic of sleep, but also subsequently on potty training and discipline.
Dr. Weissbluths philosophy that a well-rested family is the most important thing has stayed with us always. I cant say that my kids never woke up at night or always went to sleep without a power struggle. We had our ups and downsthats parenthood. But from this book I learned the structure and rhythm of sleep and how to get back into it, an especially helpful skill when I was bleary-eyed at 2:00 a.m. or our schedule got out of balance after traveling or when someone had a cold.
Sixteen years have passed since I became a mother. In fact, my son just got his drivers license. Now, some nights, my husband and I lose sleep for different reasons. But what I have noticed is that even as teenagers both my children are good at reading their own sleepy cues. They seem to remember what it feels like to be well rested, know when they should go to sleep, and dont burn the candle at both ends. This makes for a much happier and harmonious family. I know we are all our best selves when weve given ourselves the gift of sleep. Fortunately, thanks to Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, most days (and nights!) we do! Thanks, Dr. Weissbluth!

If you are not yet a parent, read first.
Sleep-deprived parents should read only the age-appropriate chapter for your baby at this time. Read , on treating sleep problems, if needed.
Well-rested parents can begin with if needed.
Skip or skim the studies, numerical data, and parent reports if you wish. They supply added detail and context, but this is not a college textbook! This is a book to aid parents who are looking to establish or restore healthy sleep habits to their growing families.
Authors Note
Throughout the book, I use the terms fathers, mothers, marriage, and marital problems merely for convenience. I wish to embrace all partner and partner-child relationships.
