Why Wake Windows Matter
If you're struggling with a child who fights sleep, wakes frequently at night, or takes short naps, incorrect wake windows might be the culprit. Wake windows—the time your child is awake between sleep periods—are critical for quality sleep, but they're constantly changing as your child grows.
Getting wake windows right can be the difference between a well-rested, happy child and an overtired, fussy one. But with so much conflicting information online, how do you know what's right for YOUR child?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are wake windows and why are they important?
Wake windows are the periods of time your child is awake between sleep. They're important because children have limited ability to stay awake without becoming overtired. Following age-appropriate wake windows helps ensure your child gets the right amount of sleep at the right times.
How do I know if my child's wake windows are wrong?
Signs of incorrect wake windows include fighting sleep, short naps, frequent night wakings, and general fussiness. If your child takes a long time to fall asleep or wakes up shortly after being put down, their wake windows may need adjustment.
Will this work for my child?
Our Wake Windows Generator creates personalised recommendations based on your child's age and individual needs. While every child is unique, having a solid foundation of age-appropriate wake windows gives you a starting point that you can fine-tune based on your child's cues.
