My guest this week is Dr. Chris Winter In this episode, Dr. Chris and I discuss the importance of his new book, The Rested Child: Why Your Tired, Wired or Irritable Child May Have a Sleep Disorder and How To Help.  Learn more about the prevalence of sleep disorders in children, the detriment it has on life-long health, the frequency of dismissal in the medical community, and what it actually means to have disordered sleeping versus just a bad night of sleep. Most importantly, we discuss the warning signs in behavior and development that may be a signal to investigate sleep with your primary care providers and various sleep specialists.   Episode Timestamps: Episode Intro … 00:00:30 Introduction to Dr. Chris Winter … 00:01:28 Appreciating & Recognizing if You Sleep Well … 00:05:15 What is Considered a Sleep Disorder in Kids? … 00:13:30 What Should Our Kids’ Sleep Look Like? … 00:19:38 Clear Red Flags of Sleep Issues … 00:23:15 Neurodevelopmental Challenges and Sleep … 00:32:00 Investigating Sleep Issues with Care Providers & Sleep Specialists … 00:34:40 Options for Sleep Support … 00:43:45 Sleep Education & Lifestyle Habits … 00:48:30 Episode Wrap up & Resources … 00:50:40   Connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens: Instagram Facebook Drbeurkens.com
