Dr. Vyas recognized the benefits of good eating and sleep hygiene were crucial not only for her patients but also for her own children. After a significant amount of research and numerous, successful sleep consults later, she decided to begin focusing on sleep consulting exclusively, thus ‘Sleepless in NOLA’ was born. She is a firm believer in the value of sleep (for the well-being of both children and their parents) and the need for healthy sleep habits. She passionately believes that well-rested children develop better socially, emotionally, as well as intellectually with fewer behavior problems. And, if the child is sleeping well, their caretaker will sleep better, resulting in a more harmonious household. Just as parents need to learn how their baby responds to eating, stimulation, and relating to others – parents also need to learn how their baby should be sleeping. The child is born knowing how to do this, however, parents can lose sight of and occasionally need to be taught how to listen to their child’s cues as well as juggle understanding how to follow those cues and use them to achieve the sleep needs of that particular child. Once they master the skill of responding to their child’s needs, this leads to the ability to master many other aspects of the child’s overall growth, development, and well-being. Dr. Vyas has worked with parents for over 10 years to teach their children how to sleep well. But she takes into consideration all aspects of the child's well-being, day-to-day schedule, diet, development, activities, and routine before making any adjustments to your child's sleep. She has a holistic approach that considers various factors before coming up with a specific plan for you and your family. She has been referred to as “the sleep doctor” by many grateful clients. New parents often confront her with the question, “How do I get my baby to sleep?” Dr. Vyas has the answer to that question and many more.
