Interested in being the best wife and mom you can be, all while enjoying life?

They cover infant sleep (the ‘fourth trimester’, timing and myths around sleep training, safe sleep and co-sleeping risks in the American context), practical tips (sound machines, crib mattress safety, the ‘snoo’ mattress vibration devices), and advice for exhausted moms dealing with insomnia. Dr. Long explains his ‘sleepless night rules’—a faith-informed adaptation of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia—emphasizing routines, getting out of bed when you can’t sleep, connecting with God, and resisting daytime naps. They also discuss when medications or supplements might be appropriate, the limits of quick fixes, and the importance of context and support. The episode closes with encouragement that sleep struggles are often seasonal, that spiritual practices can reframe sleepless nights, and that resources, including Dr. Long’s Sleep Habits Journal and his website, are available.
