Paul Gringras
'All parents should read this' – Tim Spector
What happens when a child’s sleep goes seriously wrong? Professor Paul Gringras takes us inside some of the most extraordinary cases in paediatric sleep medicine.
A child who becomes dangerously cold every night. A ten-year-old sleepwalker who falls from an upstairs window. A six-year-old who appears possessed while asleep. These are just some of the remarkable cases encountered by Gringras, a world-renowned paediatric sleep specialist who has spent more than twenty years treating children whose severe sleep disorders can threaten not only their health, but their entire family’s wellbeing.
But these startling stories also offer comfort. The right interventions can restore hope and rest for everyone.
Interwoven with interviews from global experts and insights from families on the frontline, Why Children Don't Sleep shows us how sleep fuels brain development in childhood, shapes the challenges of adolescence, and influences long-term health – from cardiovascular wellbeing to mental resilience. And it explains why establishing healthy sleep in childhood is crucial for lifelong wellness, giving you the understanding and tools you need to help the children in your life sleep – and live – better.
