Common questions

How long does a sleep regression last?
Most settle within two to six weeks if the routine stays consistent. The regression prompt gives you a holding plan for that window rather than a whole new schedule.
What's the difference between a nightmare and a night terror?
Nightmares wake a child who wants comfort; night terrors happen in deep sleep and they won't recognize you. The response is completely different — the prompt covers both.
