Quick answer
Sleep Foundations are the baseline habits and schedule anchors Kiri uses to guide sleep planning. They help you start from a realistic routine before making changes.
What Sleep Foundations include
Age-appropriate expectations: realistic nap counts, wake windows, and bedtime ranges for your child's stage.
Consistent anchors: predictable wake time, bedtime routine, and overnight structure.
Environment checks: common setup factors that can influence settling and overnight sleep.
Parent sustainability: routines you can actually repeat, not perfect plans that break after two days.
Why this matters before advanced planning
Foundations reduce noise in the data so predictions are more useful.
They make it easier to see whether changes are helping or hurting.
They prepare your family for a structured two-week plan in DreamGenius.
How to use Sleep Foundations in practice
Set and keep a stable morning anchor (wake-up target).
Use a repeatable bedtime routine sequence each night.
Track sleep and wake times daily for at least several days.
Adjust gradually rather than changing everything at once.
How this connects to NapGenius and DreamGenius
Sleep Foundations create the base. NapGenius predicts daytime sleep timing from current patterns, and DreamGenius uses your baseline to organize a clearer two-week improvement path.
