About this ebook
You are on the floor at 3 a.m., doing the math: how many hours until work, how many wake-ups since midnight, how many days since you last slept more than three hours in a row. Sleep is written for the parent who has not slept properly in years because their child needs them at night, and for whom standard bedtime-routine advice assumes a child who can settle alone. This book does not ask you to fix your child, promise a cure, or pretend that fragmented sleep equals a full night. It helps you sort the night into what is changeable now and what is not, build a plan that protects your own rest in fragments, share the night with a partner or helper without a war, and know when to raise sleep concerns with a clinician for your child and for yourself. Assessment routes, legal entitlements, and terminology differ by country and region and change over time, so this book points you toward local verification rather than false certainty. The child stays at the center with dignity on every page, and so do you.
