Promoting Independent Sleep Onset in Young Children: Examination of the Excuse Me Drill.

Conclusions: Results of this study indicate that the EMD was effective in promoting independent sleep onset and reducing disruptive bedtime behavior that maintained over time. The EMD should be considered to be a viable alternative to traditional extinction procedures for pediatric sleep disturbance. Implications for practice, limitations, and direction for future research are discussed. PMID: 31621416 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
