When does a wake window actually begin — and how do you know when it’s over?

In this episode of Sleep Cues, we’re breaking down what wake windows really are, when they truly matter, and why understanding their timing can make bedtime (and naps) so much smoother. We’ll explain how to confidently spot the start of a wake window, recognize the signs that it’s ending, and share real-life examples to help you apply it right away.

If you’ve ever second-guessed your timing or worried you’ve missed “the sweet spot,” this episode will give you clarity and confidence.
