    How To Get Restful Sleep for the Whole Family with Dr Funke Brown

    One of the biggest stressors for parents is helping their child get to sleep and stay asleep. Bedtime can be a real battle for parents at times and today’s guest is here to help alleviate that by looking for root causes and also how you parents can help relieve your sleep issues as well. When the whole family sleeps well, things go better.   In this episode, she'll talk about sleep apnea - yes, even for kids - which includes snoring, and mouthbreathing, and how sleep is not a "passive process" like we might think, involving hormones, the immune system and even memories that are processed while we sleep.  Our sleep is affected by nutrition such as iron deficiencies and our sleep hygiene like how dark, cool and noise-free the room is for sleeping.  And one that parents are certainly guilty of - screentime before bed. Dr. Brown says we need to stop that at least 60 minutes before bed and that includes TV and tablets too.  Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a board-certified pediatrician with extensive experience working with children who suffer from a range of sleep issues, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and behavioral sleep disorders. Her holistic and compassionate approach to care sets her apart as a trusted expert in her field. Dr. Afolabi-Brown earned her medical degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, one of Africa's premier institutions for medical education. She completed her pediatrics residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is renowned globally for its cutting-edge pediatric care and training programs. Subsequently, she pursued a fellowship in sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she gained specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children. I know you’re going to get a ton of great value out of this episode so please enjoy the show. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Afolabi-Brown is an advocate for sleep health education. She actively raises awareness about the importance of sleep through various platforms, including community outreach, public speaking engagements, and digital media. Her mission is to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to create healthy sleep habits for their children. Dr. Afolabi-Brown is also active in several medical associations, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Her contributions to these organizations include advancing research, developing best practices, and sharing insights on sleep interventions. She has also collaborated on scholarly publications and presented at national and international conferences, demonstrating her commitment to the growth and development of her field.
