As every parent knows, the world of newborn sleep is exotic and strange.

Babies rack up lots of sleep overall, averaging 16-18 hours a day during the first two weeks.

Yet they awaken frequently, and rarely sleep more than 4 hours at a stretch, even at night. Their internal clocks aren’t yet synchronized with the external, 24-hour day.

It’s a recipe for exhaustion, but understanding the science of sleep can help you cope, and avoid mistakes that can delay your child’s development of more mature sleep rhythms.

In this article, you’ll learn about

• fundamental differences between newborn sleep and adult sleep;

• circadian rhythms, and how you can help your baby get in sync with the natural day;

• sleep cycles in the newborn, and how to work around them;

• tips for preventing newborns from waking up; and

• advice for improving your own sleep.

Throughout, I focus on babies under four weeks of age. For information about older infants,
