    Sleep Chart Research

    Throughout this week I choose to track my sleep patterns I learned many things but also was left slightly puzzled. When it came to some of the results and varying energy levels. I started on Monday (02/20/2016) I ended up sleeping a total of 5 hours and 30 minutes which isn’t a lot of sleep. I woke up and felt groggy which isn’t uncommon for me. I’ve always had a hard time waking up in the mornings. Throughout the day I felt tired, I had a hard time focusing and just wanted to sit around. Now, the reason behind my 5 and a half hours of sleep is that I have a 1 month old daughter. She tends to wake up every 2 hours on the hour and has to be rocked back to sleep and fed.

    The Sleep Aide

    There are “roughly 64 million insomniacs in the United States” (Chamberlin, 2008). People who suffer with insomnia often have a hard time “falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or waking up too early” (Dowdell & Huffman, 2014, p. 162).

Jack Edinger, psychologist at Duke University, uses cognitive behavioral therapy as his main way to help treat his patients and get them back to sleeping normally. Through this therapy, he helps patients understand how much sleep they need and how they can become calm before going to sleep.…

    Although taboo in Western culture, co-sleeping is making a comeback. After the retraction of previous statements against co-sleeping, Dr. Richard Ferber, child sleep guru, has now sided with a family’s decision to share a bed with their infants. Although the American Society of Pediatrics warns that sleeping with your infant can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, the exact cause of SIDS is still unknown. The emotional benefits of sharing a bed with your baby can be enormous and some would argue that engaging in co-sleeping strengthens the bond between parent and child.…
