004: Hidden reasons your child isn't sleeping Part 1

If your child takes hours to fall asleep, wakes up multiple times a night, or starts their day before the sun, you’ve probably been told “that’s just how they are.” But here’s the truth: poor sleep isn’t a personality trait—it’s a red flag.

In this episode, I’m breaking down three of the most common biochemical reasons kids struggle with sleep. This isn’t about essential oils, bedtime routines, or hoping they’ll “grow out of it.” It’s about looking deeper at what their body is really asking for.

🎧In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why blood sugar crashes can wake kids at 1–3 AM or push them into early morning rising
How your child’s sleep is directly attuned to your nervous system (and what that means for you)
The role of adrenal fatigue and mineral depletion in sleep struggles
Simple food, lifestyle, and bedtime tools that actually support restorative sleep
Why calling your child a “bad sleeper” misses the real picture

Magnesium Baths two to three times a week using flakes, not Epsom salts are a great way to up magnesium stores in the body.
Grounding Sheets are a beautiful addition to, beds.
Rub Roman Chamomile and Cedarwood Essential Oil on the feet before bed.
Making sure that you're giving them that nice evening snack, that carb rich evening snack right before they're getting into bed. A great example would be dates stuffed with a nut butter or salted butter.
