Harvard Medical School pediatrician, Dennis Rosen, M.D., wrote Successful Sleep Strategies for Kids with concerned parents in mind. Some children-as many as 20 to 30 percent of all ages-suffer from some form of sleep disturbance. The eBook introduces the latest scientific discoveries in the field of pediatric sleep.

This Harvard Medical School Guide includes dozens of proven and effective ways to help children get better sleep and be more refreshed and alert during the day. These include avoiding exposure to common stimuli that wake a child's brain up and how spending too much time in bed can disrupt a child's sleep. The book also details how to prevent sleepwalking, night terrors, and bedwetting.

Harvard Health Publications arranges the publication annually of more than a dozen full-length traditional books. This title is part of its first entry into "digital originals."

"We have a robust social media presence and thought this was the time to serve our constituencies with these short, accessible, informative eBooks," said Dr. Julie Silver, Chief Editor of Books for Harvard Health Publications.

"EBook lines from major institutions are an effective way to reach millions of people worldwide," said Arthur Klebanoff, CEO of leading independent eBook publisher RosettaBooks. "We look forward to developing this line into a leader on health topics."

Dennis Rosen, M.D., is a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep specialist, Associate Medical Director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Boston Children's Hospital, and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. His blog Sleeping Angels is mostly about children and their sleep.
