Hi, I’m Lena — a neuroscientist, medical sleep researcher, and family sleep consultant, and also a mum who knows what chronic sleep deprivation really feels like.

For over 16 years, I’ve studied sleep and brain health across all ages — from newborns and toddlers to adults struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and burnout. I hold two PhDs in neuroscience and sleep physiology, and I’ve worked in both academic and clinical settings, helping families and adults understand what’s actually happening in the brain when sleep falls apart.

What makes my guides different?

• Science-backed, not trend-based
• Every guide is rooted in neuroscience, sleep medicine, and child development — not gimmicks or one-size-fits-all methods.
• Gentle and attachment-focused
• I never recommend leaving children to cry it out. My approach respects your child’s emotional needs and your mental health.
• Practical and realistic
• These are strategies I use daily with families worldwide — and ones I’d confidently use with my own child.
• Designed for real life
• Short routines, clear steps, and explanations that help you understand why something works — so you can adapt it with confidence.
