Help Your Child Sleep Better—And Get Your Energy Back is a practical, faith-informed guide for exhausted parents dealing with bedtime battles, night wakings, early rising, and sleep regressions—spanning from infancy through the teenage years. Written by EA Akhator, a Marriage & Family Counsellor, the book introduces the REST Sleep Method (Recognise, Establish, Settle, Take Care)—a simple four-part framework that helps parents move from reactive, night-by-night guesswork to a calm, repeatable plan. Unlike most sleep guides that focus solely on the child, this book treats the parent’s wellbeing as equally central to the solution, pairing evidence-based, safety-conscious sleep strategies with practical support for parental recovery.
Help Your Child Sleep Better—and Get Your Energy Back: A Practical Guide for Exhausted Parents is a calm, realistic, and practical guide designed for parents who are struggling with bedtime battles, repeated night wakings, sleep regressions, and the physical and emotional exhaustion that follows. Unlike sleep guides that focus only on the child, this book addresses both the child’s sleep and the parent’s wellbeing. It introduces the easy-to-follow REST Sleep Method:
-
R — Recognise the Pattern: Identify what is actually disrupting your child’s sleep.
-
E — Establish a Rhythm: Build predictable morning, daytime and bedtime routines.
-
S — Settle with Consistency: Respond calmly and consistently to bedtime resistance, night wakings and regressions.
-
T — Take Care of the Parent: Protect parental rest, share responsibilities and seek support when needed.
The goal is not to promise a perfect night’s sleep overnight, but to help families move from unpredictable nights, frustration, and survival mode towards greater consistency, confidence, recovery and a calmer household.
