Sleep Tip: Angry Tired Toddler

Anyone having toddler sleep issues? Guess what? You are NOT alone!⁠
⁠
Not only are toddlers notorious for protesting sleep, but, with the added stress families are feeling during Coronavirus times, their sleep is getting disrupted by their STRESS levels.⁠
⁠
Odd eh? ⁠
⁠
Here's the thing. When our cortisol (stress hormone) is too high, our melatonin (sleep hormone) can't build. This results in struggling to GET to sleep and/or STAYING asleep. ⁠
⁠
This isn't just a toddler thing - it's a human thing!⁠
⁠
SO - if YOU or your TODDLER is struggling to sleep, I want you both to try these things and see what works for you or your toddler:⁠
⁠
- Epsom salt baths - bring magnesium into our system that needs it desperately.⁠
- Sound machine with nature sounds - CAN be soothing to some toddlers.⁠
- More time outside - nature regulates our nervous system⁠
- Move your body - give it a good push once or twice a day. If we are stuck in "fight or flight" it will reset your system so you can sleep.⁠
⁠
AND - if none of these work, give me a call! I have had a slew of clients coming to me with THIS as the root issue. ⁠
