Episode Synopsis
If your child takes hours to fall asleep, wakes up multiple times a night, or starts their day before the sun, you’ve probably been told “that’s just how they are.” But here’s the truth: poor sleep isn’t a personality trait—it’s a red flag.In this episode, I’m breaking down three of the most common biochemical reasons kids struggle with sleep. This isn’t about essential oils, bedtime routines, or hoping they’ll “grow out of it.” It’s about looking deeper at what their body is really asking for.🎧In this episode, you’ll learn:Why blood sugar crashes can wake kids at 1–3 AM or push them into early morning risingHow your child’s sleep is directly attuned to your nervous system (and what that means for you)The role of adrenal fatigue and mineral depletion in sleep strugglesSimple food, lifestyle, and bedtime tools that actually support restorative sleepWhy calling your child a “bad sleeper” misses the real picture⏱️Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to The Real Remedy00:19 Understanding Your Child's Sleep Issues01:35 Biochemical Causes of Sleep Problems03:26 Blood Sugar Dysregulation05:59 Parental Influence on Child's Sleep08:48 Adrenal Fatigue and Chronic Stress13:30 Practical Tools for Better Sleep14:41 Conclusion and Next Steps🔗 Connect with Elizabeth:Website: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabetho.neillExplore The Real Remedy: Learn more here » https://elizabeth-oneill-wellness.thrivecart.com/realremedy/Work with Elizabeth HERE » https://elizabeth-o-neill-wellness-1.showit.site/ig-links?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf7LsdBx6LfIgSBVnlh9zWZKa80lcLNU1LP6eV05gFhGbOo67w7SNBk5n-AyQ_aem__ExOLY3xoq99oBd03yZ3PQGet the Low Tox Lifestyle eBook here » https://elizabeth-oneill.com/low-tox-lifestyle🔗From This Episode:Magnesium Baths (https://amzn.to/3JOZ8xE) two to three times a week using flakes, not Epsom salts are a great way to up magnesium stores in the body.Grounding Sheets (https://rowlandearthing.co.uk/?ref=TIiBtq0wxz0NZJ) are a beautiful addition to, beds.

Making sure that you're giving them that nice evening snack, that carb rich evening snack right before they're getting into bed.
