If your baby is wide awake in the wee small hours of the morning - happy, babbling, crawling, practising new skills - while you’re staring at the ceiling wondering what went wrong….this guide will help.
Split nights are one of the most confusing sleep challenges because they don’t look like typical night waking.
There’s no distress.
No obvious problem.
Just a long, calm stretch of wakefulness in the middle of the night.
And that’s what makes them so hard to solve.
Inside, you’ll find:
• What split nights actually are, and why they’re different from ordinary night waking
• The real reasons split nights happen (including why it’s rarely ‘overtiredness’)
• A simple explanation of sleep pressure and circadian rhythm
• How naps and night sleep balance each other
• Small, realistic tweaks that help sleep redistribute naturally
• What to do during a split night without escalating things
• When to wait, and when to gently adjust
• Real-life examples so you can see how it plays out
Meet Catherine
I'm an OCN Level 6 Holistic Sleep Coach and mum of four. Before training as a sleep coach I spent years as a childminder and early years practitioner, which means the support I offer is grounded in real-world experience, not just theory.
I've sat at the kitchen table with exhausted parents.
I've been that exhausted parent.
Split nights in particular are something I've supported dozens of families through, and they almost always respond to the same calm, biology-led approach.
Sometimes it really is the small things.
Split nights rarely need a dramatic overhaul.
They usually need clarity, timing adjustments, and steady follow-through.
You don’t need to guess.
You don’t need to overhaul everything.
You just need a clearer lens.

"I'd been debating booking a call with Catherine for months as our one-year-old was waking every hour or two, and I was completely exhausted. I wish I'd done it sooner."
Melanie, mum to a one year old
"I found her advice really reassuring rather than overwhelming - like lots of conflicting information that is offered online by others."
Emma, mum to a five-month-old
This isn’t about forcing a longer night or “fixing” your baby.
It’s a calm, zoomed-out approach that looks at sleep across the full 24 hours so you can understand what’s actually driving those long overnight wakes.
