Why Everyone Feels Tired (and Why That’s a Good Sign!) (13–24 Months | Day 8)
Welcome to Day 8 of the toddler sleep training course—and congratulations on making it through the first full week! That’s a huge milestone. Today, Dana Obleman addresses a surprising challenge many families face around this point: fatigue.
If you’re feeling extra tired—or if your toddler seems crankier than usual—you’re not alone. It’s actually a sign that your bodies are adjusting to deeper, more consolidated sleep.
😴 What you’ll learn in this video:
– Why you and your toddler might feel more tired right now
– What’s really going on with your child’s body clock
– Why this temporary fatigue is actually a sign of real progress
– How to stay the course as your child adjusts to healthy sleep
– Tonight’s reminder: chair stays by the door, minimal intervention
🌙 Pro tip: Fatigue at this stage is temporary. Stick with your routine and you’ll both be feeling refreshed, happy, and well-rested very soon.
