If you have a different sleep technique you would like to share, or any other views, please post your comment at the bottom of this page.

I'm single mother to four girls and a Qualified Practitioner psychologist and CBT therapist.

I'm a prolific writer, teacher and trainer on children's sleep issues. I'm the sleep expert for Your Family magazine and sleep advisor to Best Bear Childcare. I'm also a member of the HPC, British Sleep Society, The Primary Care Sleep Group and The British Psychological Society.

I live and work in Surrey and contribute regularly to media organisations.

I train other health care professionals in my sleep method: I have accredited my programme to offer the first and only National Qualification in Sleep Consultancy Training.

Parents need to feel in control and confident about raising their families. Reading your child's behaviour may not always be easy, understanding that behaviour may not always be simple, but being able to do something about that behaviour, now that’s parenting.

I work at my clinic, the Naturally Nurturing Sleep Clinic (opens in a new window) on a private basis, and also for the NHS.

Read some of Chireal's tips for getting your child/baby to sleep.
