Sleep medicine specialist Sandra Nischwitz gives concrete advice for parents in an interview with Spiegel. She describes how sleep deprivation strains the body and psyche and which strategies help to get through the day despite fatigue. She also explains when parents should seek professional help.
The article emphasizes that small changes in daily routine can often make a difference. These include fixed bedtimes, relaxation exercises before going to bed, and avoiding screens in the evening. For persistent problems, Nischwitz advises seeing a doctor or a sleep clinic.
