"I had really never given sleep much thought, aside from the fact that I really like it." explained Denise Gassner, PhD at the University of British Columbia and Founder of There’s a Monster In My Closet. Gassner describes to the listeners how "sleep deprivation hit our family really hard" when her second child was born.  It was then that she realized how important sleep was to "my own health and well being, as well as to that of my children." Being an academic, Gassner began researching and googling sleep to try and gain "control over this behavior".  She was overwhelmed with the amount of conflicting advise she read about the topic of sleep for new parents.  She decided that much of the information she came across would tell you how to "fix" sleep but not why the sleep problems were there to begin with.  Gassner questioned, "if sleep is so important to our health (and particularly that of a new baby), then why are they so terrible at it?" Gassner decided to share the information she had gathered about baby sleep and create five sleep monsters - each one representing a sleep developmental stage that children go through in their first five years.  Each monster comes with a comprehensive e-book breaking down, explaining and simplifying your child's sleep.  Gassner also offers a six week baby course and private consultation upon request.
