As counterintuitive as it seems, a later bedtime will not help your child sleep in. This is because an overtired brain flooded with cortisol makes for sleep that is not as deep, sleep that can be disrupted, and actually causes early wakings. Your secret weapon for most sleep problems is an earlier bedtime.

Marc Weissbluth, pediatrician, author and founder of the original Sleep Disorders Center in Chicago states the following about an early bedtime: "For pre-school children, even infants, many studies have shown that an early bedtime produces more night sleep (even if the wake-up time is earlier) compared to a late bedtime (even when the wake-up time is later). A late bedtime might be associated with longer naps, but longer naps do not compensate for less night sleep. Further, the early bedtime produces better quality sleep because sleep is occurring more in synchrony with circadian sleep rhythms.”
