This project is funded by Springboard Atlantic. The goal of this project is to address the need to disseminate information about healthy sleep practices to parents of children and babies who have some sleep challenges but are not considered to have a sleep disorder. A mnemonic has been developed that captures all the components of healthy sleep practices (ABCs=Age-appropriate Bedtimes with Consistency; S = Schedules; L = Location; E = No Electronics in the Bedroom; E = Exercise & Diet; P = Positivity; I = Independence when falling asleep; N = Needs met during the day; and G = Great Sleep). The ABCs of Sleeping is currently going through an effectiveness study.
