When 3 AM Becomes Your New Normal
You're standing in a darkened nursery at 3 AM, swaying with a crying baby in your arms. Your eyes burn with exhaustion. Your partner is equally depleted. You've tried everything-rocking, singing, nursing, driving around the block-yet here you are again, wondering if you'll ever sleep through the night. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Up to 70% of families struggle with infant sleep problems, and without intervention, 84% of these issues persist for years. Here's the truth that changes everything: by six months, every baby is physiologically capable of sleeping through the night. The question isn't whether your baby can sleep-it's whether they've learned how. Sleep is one of nature's beautiful mysteries. We know it consolidates memories, repairs cells, and strengthens immunity, yet its ultimate purpose remains elusive. What we do know is that babies experience sleep fundamentally differently than adults. While you cycle through 90-minute sleep stages with only 20% spent in REM, your newborn operates on 60-minute cycles with half their sleep in active REM-essential for rapid brain development. They can drift into REM immediately, unlike adults who ease through lighter stages first. This isn't a design flaw. Your baby's polyphasic sleep pattern-multiple periods scattered throughout the day-gradually consolidates as their brain matures.
