Into the book
Sleep crying has a completely different purpose than regular crying.
Sleep crying is one of the self-regulation strategies that children use to lower their level of arousal and relax their body and mind to transition into sleep.
While awake, a child's nervous system is actively stimulated by various stimuli, but to fall asleep, this tension must be released and the child must move into a state of complete relaxation.
When a child is sleepy and tired but still tense, he or she may cry to calm down and lower his or her arousal level.

--- p.43, Chapter 1, 07.
From "Normal Crying VS Sleep Crying"

Sleep training is not about teaching your child anything or fixing problems.
Children are born with the inherent ability to sleep.
Sleep training is the process by which mothers learn to understand their baby's rhythms, create an environment for them to develop their abilities, and learn to respond sensitively to their signals.

--- p.81, 「Chapter 2 01.
Sleep training is not training

One of the most misunderstood aspects of sleep training is attachment.
“Will my child be emotionally hurt?”, “Will my relationship become distant if I let him sleep alone?” These anxieties are completely natural.
But in reality, it's quite the opposite.
Sleep training is not about damaging attachment, but rather about stabilizing sleep based on attachment.
In fact, the more trust there is between the child and the mother, the more smoothly sleep training will proceed.

--- p.90, Chapter 2 03.
From “Misconceptions and Truths about Sleep Education”

The first thing to decide when creating a daily routine is your ‘wake-up time.’
If the time you wake up in the morning is irregular, the flow of everything from naps to feedings to nighttime sleep becomes unstable.
Set your wake-up time to be between 6 and 7 a.m. every day.
Just because you set a wake-up time of 7 o'clock doesn't mean you have to sleep in until that time.
Depending on the child's condition, he or she may wake up a little early, which is okay in itself.
However, you need to be careful because sleeping past 7 o'clock can disrupt your rhythm.
--- p.141, 「Chapter 4 01.
From “Setting the wake-up and bedtime”

Sleep training is a mother's first step.
Sleep training isn't just for children.
This is my first time doing this, too.
Waiting for a child to cry, trusting the process rather than the outcome, and managing emotions and maintaining consistency are all new and unfamiliar things from start to finish.
You can't do it well from the beginning, and mistakes are a 'natural process of growth'.
“I did my best today too.
“Let’s do it again tomorrow,” “This whole process is part of living a happy life with your child!” These simple words bring peace to the mother’s heart, and that peace of mind is passed on to the child as a sense of stability.
--- p.311, Chapter 9 01.

Publisher's Review
“The first two years of life, sleep habits shape the rest of your child’s life!”
The crucial secret to boosting your child's brain development, immunity, and self-control.


Why are sleep habits important in the first two years of a child's life? This is the period when a child's growth and development occur most rapidly.
The brain's structure is formed, neural circuits are connected, and sensations and responses to the external world are created.
Depending on the type of sleep experience a child has during this crucial period, the basic rhythms of life will be formed differently, including how a child perceives the world, how he or she cares for himself, and how he or she regulates his or her emotions.


Additionally, children learn a sense of security and develop self-regulation skills through sleep.
It is about learning how to end the day by repeating the process of falling asleep on your own and preparing for a new day.
These rhythms continue through infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and serve as the foundation for overall development, including lifestyle habits, concentration, and emotional control.

So, if the sleep cycle is repeatedly disrupted during this time, the world can feel unpredictable and unstable to the child.
It's not just about sleeping problems; it can also lead to tension and mood swings throughout your daily life.
In this way, the way a mother helps her child sleep during the first two years of life can help the child grow up in a healthier body and mind.


However, contrary to the wishes of parents who want to raise their children well, the author has often witnessed pitiful scenes in childcare settings.
This includes cases where parents ignore the sleep training stage in the hope of dramatic results in a short period of time, or start sleep training without any mental preparation, thereby directly transmitting the parents' anxiety and impatience to the child.
The author says, “A mother is not someone who helps her child, but someone who believes in his or her potential first,” and through this book, she presents the most effective and gentle way to establish sleeping habits in a child.


“Knowing the principles reduces anxiety and increases confidence!”
The World's Easiest Sleep Training Roadmap: Real-World Approaches


The so-called "100-day miracle" or "1-year-old miracle," where a child's day and night schedule becomes stable and their sleep patterns stabilize, never happens on their own.
However, if you understand the 'principles and methods of sleep', you can create that miracle surprisingly easily.


This book first guides you through the basic principles and standards of sleep education, such as 'understanding your child's sleep rhythm, why your child cries before going to sleep, the difference between normal crying and sleep crying, and the time awake, nap time, and full sleep time by month', so that you can understand the principles.
After making this easy to understand, the author introduces the 'Sleep Education Roadmap that Works in Practice', which is a compilation of his know-how.
This roadmap consists of five steps, but not all households are required to complete all five steps.
Just by setting up a sleep environment and creating a daily routine in stages 1 to 3, your child's sleep can become noticeably more stable. Stages 4 and 5 can be adjusted according to the child's developmental status, the parents' parenting philosophy, and the home environment, allowing each family to choose the depth and direction that suits them.
In other words, it is a flexible structure that allows you to design a sleep training program that is just right for your child.
The best part of this book is that it provides clear answers and scientific reasons for the anxieties and concerns that mothers have when starting sleep training, such as, "Will my child be emotionally hurt?" and "Will my relationship become distant if I let my child sleep alone?"
It also includes practical guides on how to deal with various unexpected situations and help parents stay centered and continue sleep training whenever they feel unsettled.

This book systematically explains the entire process of sleep training from start to finish, allowing you to naturally understand the overall flow.
Let's follow this roadmap, let go of the burden of having to be perfect and the impatience of not wanting to fail, and move forward lightly, one step at a time.
The peaceful nights and vibrant mornings you've been waiting for will soon become a daily routine rather than a miracle.
