Does your child:

Refuse to cooperate in the morning?
Get into trouble for not listening?
"Lose it" over seemingly insignificant issues?
Seem to resist sleep?

An estimated 69 percent of American infants, children, and teens are sleep deprived. Studies have shown that sleep deficits can contribute to hyperactivity, distraction, forgetfulness, learning problems, illness, accidents, and disruptive behaviors. Often what our misbehaving kids really need isn't more "consequences" or more medication but more sleep.

Sleepless in America offers weary and frustrated parents a helping hand and an exciting new approach to managing challenging behaviors by integrating research on stress, sleep, and temperament with practical strategies and a five-step approach that enables parents to help their "tired and wired" children get the sleep they so desperately need.

Best sleep book! For children AND ADULTS!

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I will continue to refer to this book! It's my favorite parenting/sleep book I have read. I love the parent stories in this. Once I got to chapter 11 I really found the material particularly useful. She focuses on how each child is so different and it takes observing your child to find a routine that works best for you...knowing that it takes time to get there! She gave me confidence and helpful tips. I just love this book. I have it on Kindle.

I have been recommending this book constantly since I read it

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013

I love this book and wish I'd read it sooner; I was able to immediately put some of the recommendations into practice that have made a huge difference in getting my three year old to get her much-needed nap when she's at home (she sleeps like a champ at day care). So many of the ideas help to manage their stress during the day or just make their days easier, which makes for better days AND nights.

As another mom who read it after I recommended it said, if you only read one book about kids and sleep, this should be the one.

This fantastic, easy-to-read and enjoyable book really does have insights and advice to help everyone, and reinforces why sleep is so important for your child as well as how to help your child get it. I have been recommending this to so many other parents since I read it and will likely continue to do so for a long time. You want this book, trust me!

I was skeptical about this book at first because it is not a "how to get your kids to sleep" type of book. It really helps to put things into perspective as to what your baby/child may be going through that is causing them to not sleep. They want and need sleep just like we do, and the author highlights some very key reasons why they may not be getting it and how we as parents might be hindering it ourselves. I would read this book during my many late night sessions with my 16 month old and implemented small changes that need lead me to having him cry it out. I didn't think these small changes made a difference, but with time and consistency he started sleeping through the night within 2-3 weeks. Every child is different and has different needs, so there isn't one solution for them all. However this book gives lots of examples that work for children of different temperaments and personalities. I've already begun recommending this book to other sleepless parents.

Finally something that worked for us

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2013

I read so many sleep books. My some would only nap well when held and woke almost hourly at night. i read the no-cry sleep book and no-cry nap book and it got me no where. I always felt like my son was a little more intense then the average baby. This book really deals with temperament and is truley no-cry. Some tips made an immediate difference and others helped us make progress over time.

Mostly it gave me a new way of looking at sleep. I used to feel like I was a failure because my friends all got their babies to nap in their cribs and sleep through the night. My son actually has similar sleep patterns to me. As an adult I rarely "sleep through the night", so why was I so consumed with him doing it. We now have some good habits and we are all getting much more sleep!

I wish more people knew about this book!

A book that recognizes we're not all "wired" the same for sleep

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

I just finished reading this book and it has some great, practical tips for how to improve sleep for the whole family. She includes plenty of anecdotes from various families with children of various ages and temperaments. She recognizes that not everyone sleeps the same, or needs the same conditions to be able to sleep well. This is so validating for me personally who has two children that are sensitive, intense and irregular according to some of the characteristics she outlines. My kids never went to sleep on their own as babies, they never let me put them down "drowsy but awake" in a crib and they still need alot of snuggle time, etc. to settle down to sleep. I appreciate that she doesn't preach one way over another, but offers a wide array of options for families to figure out how to get everyone the best sleep possible.

I have a 4 year old boy, since he was born he has had trouble falling asleep and napping. After I read the book I truly understood the difference and have learned to help him relax and sleep better.

Best sleep books out there.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

Mary Sheedy Kurcinka is a leader in childrens sleep and this book is the best I've found. My eldest was a terrible sleeper, and this book really helped me to better understand his needs as well as tools to make his sleep habits fit with our family. One technique in particular worked so well for my son that it changed our family's lives. I recommend her books to everyone.

Insightful but probably will be more useful when my baby is older

Really great book with good advice even for babies but not enough to help my baby sleep though the night. Would probably work better for older children, which I plan to use this book for later on.

Great book!

Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2015

A great book! It gave me permission to listen to my heart instead of all the advice that circulates. My twins are now going to bed at a reasonable time and they love it when we "make brownies" on each other's back to help us wind down.
