Does bedtime feel less like a cozy ritual and more like crossing a battlefield filled with tears, anxiety, and wakeful shadows? Are you a grandparent tirelessly nurturing grandchildren scarred by trauma, craving not just peace at the end of the day, but real tools to foster resilience? Perhaps you recognize yourself in those moments—the digital quick fixes, the fear of changing routines, the exhaustion weighing down your resolve—wondering if a solid night's rest is too much to ask.I'm Laura Brazan, a grandmother who's wrestled with these very struggles: YouTube lullabies that created more chaos than calm, the nightly tug-of-war between compassion and consistency, and the lonely search for the right solution. In wrestling with my grandchildren's insomnia and night terrors, I've discovered that fostering healing sleep isn't about magic techniques or avoiding tantrums—it's about gently, consistently re-teaching their brains what safety feels like in the dark.On 'Grandparents Raising Grandchildren,' we bring you genuine stories and expert guidance from voices like sleep coach Allison Egidi, who understand the tangled intersection of trauma, anxiety, screens, and the elusive promise of rest. We uncover why routines matter for kids who have seen disruption, how “boring” rituals lead to stability, and why a child's resistance after sunset may be a nervous system crying out—not a battle of wills.For more information in this episode, sleep coaching and Allison, please visit her website.You'll find actionable insights paired with the empathy every kinship caregiver deserves. From decoding triggers in children's dreams to setting limits on screens and redefining what self-care means, we're here to honor your journey—and to remind you that leadership looks like love, patience, and sometimes hitting “reset” on family habits.You're not alone. Together, we can transform nighttime from a battleground into a place of comfort, one bedtime at a time.Send us Fan MailAre you tired of competing with screens?

Are bedtime battles leaving you exhausted? Do you feel like your entire evening hinges on whether your child stays in bed, comes out of their room, or asks for “just one more thing”?In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift that has helped many families transform bedtime from a nightly power struggle into a simple, predictable routine. I'll walk you through why so many of us accidentally measure the wrong thing at bedtime—and how focusing on our child's cooperation can leave us feeling defeated.Instead, I introduce a decision-tree approach that can help you stay calm, consistent, and confident no matter what your child chooses. I'll show you how to stop negotiating, reduce bedtime stress, and help your child build responsibility and independent sleep skills over time.By the time you're done listening, you'll know:The bedtime mindset shift that changes everything.Why your child's behavior isn't the best measure of success.How to respond calmly when kids get out of bed.The difference between controlling bedtime and leading bedtime. Why fewer words often create better results.  How to parent with kindness and firmness at the same timeIf you're tired of bedtime taking over your evenings, I hope this episode gives you a practical framework you can start using tonight.Get the FREE Bedtime Decision Flowchart: https://sustainable-parenting.myflodesk.com/wcwu5o8wo3✨Want more?  ✨JOIN me in the SUMMER of support:

If you want to do your best, you'd better get your rest.The quality of your sleep fundamentally affects the quality of your communication. Communicating well, Dr. Cheri Mah says, starts with being well-rested.“Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of how you function,” says Mah, a sleep physician, adjunct lecturer at Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, and internationally recognized expert on sleep and human performance. In her research and work, particularly with elite athletes and professional sports teams, she explores the link between getting rest and doing our best. “If you are getting quality sleep, you can think more clearly, react under pressure, make good judgment calls, have more patience, be more empathetic,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mah and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for better sleep, from bedtime routines to paying off “sleep debt” to the “nappuccino” — a caffeine-fueled power nap. Whether you struggle to sleep or can nod off at any time or place, Mah's insights reveal why doing our best requires getting our rest.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Cheri MahEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:57) - Sleep & Performance (04:11) - Better Sleep Habits (06:16) - Quieting a Racing Mind (07:49) - Dr. Mah's Night Routine (09:19) - Sleep Extension (10:52) - Preparing for Big Events (11:44) - The Nappuccino (13:21) - Managing Jet Lag (15:56) - Chronotypes Explained (18:00) - Starting the Day with Sleep (19:40) - The Final Three Question (23:57) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with ONE parent & our returning guest Dr. Ari Brown (Pediatrician + Author of the iconic 411 series) for the SLEEP episode every parents needs! We start with why sleep is SO important (for both kids AND parents), how to create a healthy sleep routine from DAY ONE, and the "sleep crutches" you need to AVOID if possible (s/o to any parent who has been the human Uber to the land of nod hahaha). Then we get into what to ACTUALLY do when your baby/toddler wakes up in the middle of the night and why Dr. Ari likes to refer to “sleep regressions" as PROGRESSIONS (mind blown!!). Plus (random tangent), Dr. Ari's take on melatonin & traveling time zones (the ONE time she'll recommend it). Then, the ideal nap schedule from baby through toddler, and the #1 biggest mistake parents make around sleep (which we 100% have been guilty of). Then we get into some of the tactical stuff: should you EVER give your toddler a bottle before bed? Crib vs. co-sleeping vs. bed sharing (without the shame!), and when to actually transition from crib to bed (spoiler: longer than you think!!). We also break down what an ideal toddler bedtime routine looks like, how screens are impacting your kid's sleep, and how diet & physical activity actually move the needle. Plus, a fun rapid-fire game: COMMON SLEEP ISSUE vs. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.  Finally, it's not a sleep episode without Dr. Ari's take on sleep training & cry it out (and the protest vs. crying it out distinction that totally clicked for us), and she shares her famous S.L.E.E.P. plan

Send us Fan MailWelcome to a new episode of The Zeepy Sleep Podcast — a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children feel safe, valued, and ready for sleep.In "The Firefly Who Dimmed Her Light," Slumber the Sloth discovers a tiny firefly hiding beneath a leaf in the Starlight Forest. Her glow is different from the others—soft and slow like breathing, instead of quick and bright. When the other fireflies didn't understand, she dimmed her light and hid. With Slumber's gentle help, the fireflies learn that differences don't make the forest less beautiful—they make it magical.

Odette Octopus explores her corner of the sea. What will she find? Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:55 Octopus Evening Excerpt: From under her rock, Odette the octopus watched the light slowly fade. She began to glow purple with excitement. She loved evenings in the Ahway Island ocean. Days were wonderful, too, of course, but there was something special about how the moonlight cascaded over midnight blue waters. Odette grinned and stretched her arms, pulling herself out from under the rock. The little octopus was ready for some exploring. She hoped to find something new and different.

Sebastian Spider is frustrated when rain ruins his usual jumping spot. What will he do? Narrator: Female Story Begins: 3:13 Slippery Spider Excerpt: Today, Sebastian set out on his usual morning route. His first stop was always the big green leaf. It was broad and strong and grew from a low plant near the fence. Sebastian had jumped from this leaf hundreds of times. It was his very favorite place to start his jumping practice. Sebastian climbed up the stem of the plant and made his way onto the leaf. As soon as Sebastian set his front feet down on it, he felt them slip around. “That doesn't usually happen,” thought Sebastian. “But it makes sense for things to be a little slippery after a rainfall,” he reasoned, so he didn't let it bother him.

For many of us, this coming weekend marks the start of Daylight Saving Time, when we “spring forward” and move our clocks ahead by an hour. While the extra evening daylight can be one of the joys of the summer months, the time change has been known to disrupt our sleep.  Last year we sat down with neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer, a leading expert on sleep, to talk about practical strategies for getting a better night's rest. As we approach this transition, it's the perfect time to revisit that conversation. We hope you'll add this episode to your podcast queue and give it another listen this weekend.

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shares a simple quarterly framework to help you actually follow through on health goals: Start, Stop, Keep. Adapted from a powerful business coaching tool, it becomes a practical way to evaluate what's working, what's draining you, and what single change could move you forward right now. Jared ties it to the “1% better” mindset from Atomic Habits—small daily choices that compound into massive long-term results—and gives real-world examples like setting a consistent bedtime, intermittent fasting, and quitting grazing. You'll also hear actionable “starts” (like walking after meals and tracking food/supplement effects) and “stops” (like late-day caffeine and doom scrolling). No hype—just a clean system you can repeat every quarter, month, or whatever works for you.Products:LiverVitatlityEndoCleanseVital 5:Ultimate Vitality MultiMagnesium BisglycinateOmega-3 + AntioxidantsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAssimil-8 Digestive EnzymesBack on TractAdditional Information:Atomic Habits by James Clear - bookThe Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - book#579: Fueling Your Day Right: How to Eat for Energy, Focus, and Weight Loss with Nate Palmer#604: Emotional Vitality: How to Break Out of Overwhelm and the Freeze Response#242: The Vital Five How To: Your User's Guide to Filling the Gaps in Your DietVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we have a LOT of baby #2 updates after our third-trimester OB appointment. Things escalated quickly and apparently Harrison is now delivering the baby??? (Our doctor casually suggested that dads can deliver the second baby (???) and we're still unpacking that), plus we talk through the breech situation (Harrison keeps calling it “THE BREACH” like a contract hahahah) and why I'm choosing NOT to do anything to flip him. From there, we get into what feels different the second time around — the things we obsessed over with our first baby that we truly do not care about anymore — and why that confidence immediately turned into redesigning half the house. We share nursery plans, the guest-room shuffle, and the logistical chaos of prepping for baby #2 while still very much parenting a toddler. Then Harrison explains why he's officially OUT on Waymo (parking lot purgatory + surprise “voice of god” moments), and we spiral into Austin's most unhinged design choice: back-in angle parking (with a bike lane in between, obviously). We also confirm that every couple has a driver — and yes, we know exactly who ours is (spoiler alert: NOT Harrison).  We revisit the audiobooks vs. reading debate (we decided every can participate in book club but Jules has to wear a scarlett letter on her chest), share a nonstick-pan update (turns out “full blast heat” was the problem), and take a nostalgic detour back to 2016 (where were you and why does it suddenly feel iconic?). Plus, we talk about marrying into a marathon family (I'll watch) and the moment everyone has been waiting for… we break down our 6-minute bedtime routine!!!  And in Things We DMed Each Other: the world's first “accurate” breastfeeding monitor (do we need this??), a phone-disguising gadget meant to keep babies' worlds screen-free, and baby sign language — aka how one tiny “more” hand sign changed our entire mealtime experience :)  LOVE YOU GUYS — thanks for listening!!

In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how most people unknowingly block fat loss every night through poor bedtime habits, not food quality or calories. True fat burning and anti-aging happen during sleep when hormones are properly aligned. Ben breaks down a simple, science-backed nighttime routine that lowers insulin and cortisol, boosts melatonin and growth hormone, and activates deep fat-burning sleep. Key takeaways include: Stop eating at least 3 to 5 hours before bed to avoid insulin spikes and suppressed melatonin Late-night eating blocks fat burning and accelerates aging Cortisol must be low at night for fat loss to occur, achieved through slow nasal breathing and gratitude Darkness after sunset is essential, as artificial light suppresses melatonin and disrupts circadian rhythm Cooler bedroom temperatures (65–67°F) enhance deep sleep and overnight fat loss Alcohol, late workouts, doom scrolling, and nighttime snacking sabotage sleep and metabolism Ben also explains why calories are a distraction, not the root cause of fat loss resistance, and why focusing on hormones leads to sustainable results, especially for people over 40 or postmenopausal. The episode includes practical solutions for waking up at 2–3 a.m., how fast results typically appear, and why fixing sleep is one of the most powerful anti-aging and fat-loss strategies available.

For years, parents were told to avoid giving babies peanuts due to allergy risks. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook joins "CBS Mornings" to explain why new research is flipping that advice—and how early exposure could actually help prevent peanut allergies. The Louvre heist in Paris happened in broad daylight, just 30 minutes after the museum opened. French officials say the thieves used a basket lift to reach a window before smashing display cases, grabbing priceless jewels and fleeing within minutes, like something out of a novel. Bestselling author Daniel Silva has written more than two dozen books, many featuring art theft. He joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss what stands out about this real-life heist and how it compares to his novel research. NASA says it's considering bids from other private space companies over concerns that Elon Musk's SpaceX is behind schedule. Musk fired back on X, writing, "SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry." Prosecutors in Florida have decided not to charge a 5-year-old's mother after the girl fell overboard on a Disney cruise earlier this year. The girl's father jumped into the ocean after her and crew members managed to rescue both of them. CBS News' Cristian Benavides has the details. Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of New York's Central Synagogue discusses her memoir "Heart of a Stranger." Buchdahl, the first Asian American rabbi in North America, reflects on her journey, her faith and the global reach of her synagogue, where an Israeli flag symbolizing hostages was recently folded to mark their return. Best-selling author John Grisham joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about his new book, "The Widow," a courtroom thriller about a small-town lawyer accused of murder. Grisham, known as the master of the legal thriller, has written more than 50 consecutive number-one bestsellers and sold over 400 million books worldwide. Child educator and YouTube star Rachel Accurso, known to millions as "Ms. Rachel," joins "CBS Mornings" with her husband, Mr. Aron, to talk about their new book, "Ms. Rachel and Bean and the Bedtime Routine." The couple behind the hit "Ms. Rachel" channel, which has over 17 million YouTube subscribers, share tips to help families create calm, comforting nights.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Sleep's a FREE performance-enhancer, so why are so many teens not getting enough?For us parents, sleep is the thing we all obsess about when we first bring our babies home, but if you're anything like me by the time they hit teens we've become pretty lax around that solid bedtime routine. In fact, research shows that around 2/3rds of teenagers aren't getting adequate sleep.Why does this happen? In my case, I was exhausted from years of implementing a solid routine and they had become more interesting, so I wanted to spend more time with my kids in the evening. They were also busy doing other things; sports, socialising, homework.Mostly, I think it's not a goal we target or brag about, so it becomes the silent victim of our busy lives.That's why I decided it was time to talk to an expert (and parent who's navigated this) on sleep.In this conversation Jessica Bryant helps us parents really think about our family attitude to sleep, how to support our teens in getting the amount they need, and to problem-solve your struggles.Thanks to all of you lovely listeners who sent in your questions.Jessica Bryant Sleep Happy Consultinghttps://www.sleephappyconsulting.com/The original sleep episode:https://www.teenagersuntangled.com/sleep-the-free-fix-for-our-teens-with-no-side-effects/RESEARCH: Showed insufficient sleep on an average school night was reported by 68.9% of students.
