The Heartbeat of Sleep: Building Rhythms of Rest for the Whole Family

The Heartbeat of Sleep cuts through the noise with grace, simplicity, and experience—offering a heartfelt guide rooted in real motherhood and gentle structure. Author Morgan Goodwin, a wife, mother of three, and advocate for faith-based family wellness, opens up about her personal journey through sleepless nights, trial and error, and the life-changing peace that came from establishing healthy rhythms of rest.

Blending personal stories with research-backed insights, Morgan explores how sleep shapes everything from brain development and emotional regulation to physical growth and family harmony. She shares how structure and consistency can bring freedom—not restriction—and how a calm environment, safe sleep practices, and simple bedtime rituals can transform chaos into peace. Through each chapter, you'll learn: Why sleep is the foundation of healthy growth for both child and parent How to recognize sleep cues, build soothing routines, and adapt to each stage The science behind infant and toddler sleep cycles—and how to work with them, not against them Gentle strategies to navigate regressions, travel, transitions, and setbacks How faith, grace, and consistency turn exhaustion into empowerment With practical schedules, real-life stories, and heartfelt encouragement, The Heartbeat of Sleep reminds parents that sleep isn't selfish—it's sacred. It's the quiet rhythm that keeps a family's heart beating in harmony.

It's restoration. It's the heartbeat of your family.
