sleep onset association disorder

English to Polish Medical Medical (general)

The all have sleep associations (reading a few pages before bed, adjusting the pillows a certain way), but toddlers can become especially attached to them. That’s why where and when your toddler falls asleep at bedtime can make all the difference in how he or she deals with waking up in the middle of the night. (...) To avoid so-called sleep onset association disorder (yes, this one actually has bed cred with the sleep experts)—when a child becomes so dependent on falling asleep in a certain location (like your bed) or with a certain activity (like back rubs) that sleep will be elusive any other way—make sure you put your toddler to sleep the way you’d like him or her to stay asleep... start to finish.
