The trip from the womb to the world is the longest, most traumatic journey a human will ever take. One result is to send newborns into months of what is much like severe jet lag. Their first sleeping patterns are nearly random. They need to learn night from day and adjust sleep patterns to fit their new world. This dance of adjustment - of children to the world and parents to children - is what Go to bed! is all about. (Learning Seed, USA).
