I agree that good sleep is more critical than people realize.

So in this study, a fan reduced SIDS as much as forced back sleeping. Again, the point is they don’t know why backsleeping reduces SIDS. One theory is it puts the baby’s face higher up. The fan seems to support this. I’d be curious to interview parents of kids with autism and see how militant they were about back sleep and if their kid slept well. Some kids seeming don’t mind backsleeping but others hate it. And you can tell by simply letting them tummy sleep for a night or two and seeing if they sleep longer. If this hypothesis does pan out, it’s not unlike doctors advice to avoid peanuts leading to a huge increase in peanut allergies. Only for them to later say, whoops.
