The inability to fall into deep sleep is usually related to your baby's sleep cycles not yet being mature. Babies have sleep cycles of about 45-60 minutes and cycle between light and deep sleep. Especially in the first 6 months, deeper sleep transitions are shorter and more frequently disrupted.

Possible causes include being overtired (your baby's awake time is too long for their age), gas discomfort, teething, room temperature not ideal (too hot/cold), or poor sleep routine. Creating a calm, dimly lit environment and establishing a consistent bedtime routine each night (stories, calm talk, gentle patting) supports deeper sleep transitions.

If sleep problems last longer than 2 weeks, your baby is restless and fussy when waking, or weight gain has plateaued, consult your pediatrician.
