I would like to share a self-help book for children called, The Tired Child How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life by Meghna Dassani Author. I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
Charlie has his sleep patterns all messed up and somedays he stays up for a couple days. Other days he sleeps for days on end. Then another time he will go to bed at 5 or 6 and be up by midnight. Charlie never seems to go to sleep at a decent time and sleep all night through which drives me batty. But I can’t say anything because if I ho to sleep before12am then I am up at 12am and can’t sleep the rest of the night.
Thanks to The Tired Child How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life I’ve learned Charlie may have sleep apena and I need to get him diagnosis by a doctor as well as myself. I honestly don’t know what will happen when Charlie moves out and has to get up for work because he sleeps through the alarm no, matter how loud they are.
David uses three alarms set at different times on the days he has to go to work. They are right across the hall from Charlie and he never seems to hear them. I’ve even set a alarm up next to Charlies bed and he doesn’t move when they go off. I have to go upstairs and turn them off. Sometimes I have to throw water onto Charlie to get him up which sounds mean but its the only way he gets up.
In the book Meghna Dassani covers many topics from controlling allergies, screen time which affects a lot of areas, diet and helpful supplements, as well as the differences between obstructive sleep apnea and upper airway resistance. The Author goes over which specialists to see and she helps us decide if we need to get our child evaluated.
School Nurses, consolers and teachers should have The Tired Child How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life copies of this book at their disposal to help parents and staff deal with children. Here is a tip for you. Before you consider any type of medications for ADHD, please read The Tired Child How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life and think not only twice but three times before giving your child meds.

The Tired Child: How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life
Kids across the United States are experiencing a sleep crisis. Sometimes, they can’t sleep because of anxiety or too much screen time. But other times, the problem runs deeper.
For some children, the lack of high-quality, restful sleep is due to sleep-disordered breathing. When children can’t breathe properly, they can’t sleep. And a lack of sleep negatively impacts children’s healthy development and puts them in crisis.
The Tired Child provides parents and healthcare providers with a comprehensive look at pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. It dives into why sleep is so important and shares how to get kids the proper treatment if they have a sleep condition, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
