This week’s episode of parenting podcast Raising Me explores one of the most essential — and often elusive — aspects of family life: sleep. Dr. Allyson Coffin breaks down how sleep impacts everything from mental clarity to parenting patience and offers practical advice for improving sleep quality for both adults and children.
Dr. Coffin explains why falling asleep within 10 minutes of hitting the pillow is a sign of a healthy sleep cycle, and that even a single nighttime wake-up lasting less than 30 minutes is generally not cause for concern. What matters most, the expert notes, is not just time in bed but the quality of rest. A full 10 hours in bed can still result in a bad night’s sleep if the environment and habits aren’t right.
The episode emphasizes the importance of creating a restful sleep environment for both parents and children, as well as guidance on proper sleep posture. Dr. Coffin also warns that even a single night of poor sleep can significantly reduce brain function. She also has pro-tips on naps and explains why a small cup of coffee right before a nap can be the key to waking up rested and ready to go.
