Sleep Update Day in October 2018

Some of the questions we looked at were;

• “Does feeding babies solids before 6 months of age improve sleep”, and “are too many babies overfed”, and if so where does that leave parents?

• Is ADHD just a sleep disorder?

• Does a massaged-based bedtime routine improve sleep for babies/ children and mothers?

• How does thermoregulation in babies and children with complex needs affect sleep?

• IT media use versus books at 3 years of age, how does it impact on sleep?

• Can early sleep problems increase the risk of Chronic Fatigue in adolescence?

• Should we follow France’s lead and teach sleep education to 8 year olds in school?

• Can what we smell affect the content of our dreams?

We also;

• Had a psychologist come to speak on the subject of “Sleep and Anxiety”

• Looked at 2 cases studies 1. for a child with anxiety and 2. for an anxious mother

• Looked at The Smart Crib, and discussed if we as sleep practitioners would recommend its use or not.

• Had a demonstration from Creative Care on the use of Safe Sleep Spaces for children with additional needs

• Brainstormed “How to develop business opportunities”
