Addressing Sleep Problems with Dr Kansagra @thatsleepdoc

  • Summary

  • Welcome back to Season Two of the Rest is Best podcast! I'm so excited for this season as I have loads of special guests lined up plus I will be hosting bite sized episodes every other week with step by step, detailed tips and tricks to get you and your family a little more rest.

    In today's episode I speak with Dr Sujay Kansagra aka @thatsleepdoc on Instagram. Dr Kansagra is a Paediatric neurologist, the director of Duke's Paediatric Neurology Sleep Medicine Program, author of My Child Won't Sleep: A Quick Guide for the Sleep-Deprived Parent  and father or 2.

    Some the questions I had for Dr Kansagra include:

    • How do you define a sleep ‘problem’? We often hear the phrase ‘its not a problem if it is working for you" (the parents) but when does it actually become a problem for the child?
    • Off the back of discussing the science behind sleep, what are your thoughts on sleep training?
    • Given all the science and what we know about sleep, why do you think addressing sleep concerns is such a debated topic?
    • What are you thoughts on the sentiment “every baby is different” when it comes to sleep?
    • What advice would you give parents who feel like there is not way to improve their baby’s sleep?


    In his book Dr. Kansagra presents ALL of the sleep solutions that have actual scientific data to back them. If it isn't proven to work, it's not in this book. The solutions are straight-forward, with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that get to the point and get there quick. (2 of the methods I use in my sleep courses are in there too!)

    This is a great conversation for anyone wanting a bit more reassurance and guidance on seeking sleep support and the benefits it can give to your family.
