The Sleep Chamber
Topic: Kai and Eidan
We have cracked the code. Eidan is now back to just two wake ups per night (midnight and 5am). After a month of sleep deprivation, this feels like the best thing ever. The main part of the solution is to not go to him every time he wakes up and cries, which became easier to do once Maria’s mother was no longer visiting. But another big part of it was turning his room into a fully optimized sleep chamber. He’s got a space heater to keep his room warm (since he always throws off his blankets), white noise to help him fall asleep and stay asleep (he has a clock that makes the sounds of ocean waves and seagulls - he’s a very light sleeper, so this makes a big difference), and a night light that slowly pulsates (I have to admit even I found it oddly soothing). Next he’ll get a humidifier, since the heater makes the air dry.
My deepest thanks to the inventors, manufacturers, and distributors of all these devices.
