How the 5-night reset works

You’ll create one calm routine, one clear boundary, and repeat it for five nights. That repetition is what teaches your child’s nervous system: this is safe, this is predictable, this is sleep.

  1. Night 1: Reset the tone (calm voice, dim lights, simple routine)
  2. Night 2: Shorten the “extras” (reduce extra trips and add-ons)
  3. Night 3: Hold the boundary kindly (less talking, more consistency)
  4. Night 4: Make it predictable (same order, same words, same timing)
  5. Night 5: Lock it in (repeat + small tweaks only)
