Inhaltsangabe

You're not bad at sleep. You're trying to sleep on hard mode.

You finally get the kids to bed, and your brain opens forty tabs. Someone needs you at 2 a.m. Your alarm goes off after six broken hours, and you start the day already running on empty. Most sleep advice assumes a quiet house and a flexible schedule. This book doesn't.

Sleep for Exhausted Working Parents is a practical, research-backed guide for moms and dads with jobs, kids, and very little time. It explains why sleep goes wrong for busy parents and gives you small, realistic fixes that survive sick kids, deadlines, and the occasional terrible night.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Fall asleep faster when your mind won't switch off, using a five-minute brain dump, scheduled worry time, and a 20-minute wind-down that fits a packed evening.
  • Get back to sleep after night wakings, whether a child woke you or your own 3 a.m. brain did.
  • Find more time for sleep with a simple time audit and the "Four D's" for reclaiming your evening.
  • Share the night shift with a partner, or build support if you're parenting solo.
  • Recover after a bad night with smart naps, morning light, and caffeine timing that won't wreck tonight.
  • Adapt as your kids grow, from newborns and toddlers to school-age kids and teens.
  • Recognize when to get help, including signs of sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, and postpartum mood problems.

Built for real life

Every chapter follows the same simple pattern: the problem, why it happens, what to do, and a small "Try This Tonight" step you can take even on your most exhausted day. You'll finish with a week-by-week 30-day plan, a one-page cheat sheet, and a sleep log you can copy and use.

The science is explained in plain language, with every key claim linked to its published source in the references. No guilt, no perfectionism, and no rigid routines that fall apart the moment someone gets a fever.

The goal isn't perfect sleep. It's good enough sleep: protected where you can, improved where it counts, and recoverable when life gets in the way.

Scroll up and start sleeping better tonight.
