and the step-by-step plan that pushes wake time back.
You're Not Alone at 5 AM

Your child sleeps through the night, then pings awake at 4:45 or 5:15, wide-eyed and ready for the
day. Nothing you try seems to move that clock.
Here's the good news: early rising is fixable. It isn't random, and it isn't a personality trait. It's the
predictable result of a handful of causes — light, sleep pressure, timing, and habit — that this guide
will help you find and correct.
