From me
I'm Dr Lucy Russell, a child clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience and a specialist interest in children's sleep. Many parents I work with in clinic sense that something is wrong with their child's sleep but have no way to show it. Keep this diary for at least two weeks and the patterns often become clear.
