      Being in a dual-career family can affect a child's sleep in a few ways. One way is that if both parents are working long hours, the child may not have a consistent bedtime or bedtime routine. This can make it difficult for the child to fall asleep and stay asleep. Additionally, if the child is exposed to a lot of stimulation before bedtime, such as television or electronic devices, this can also make it harder for them to fall asleep. Stress and anxiety in the parents due to work can also be transmitted to the child and can affect their ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
