The technique described in the scenario is called bedtime fading. It involves gradually shifting a child's bedtime later in small increments until they fall asleep more easily, and then gradually shifting it earlier once they have established a good sleep pattern. This approach can be effective for children who struggle with falling asleep or have difficulty staying asleep. Planned ignoring and graduated ignoring are other sleep training methods, but they involve ignoring a child's behavior or crying in order to teach them to fall asleep on their own. Chronotherapy is a treatment for circadian rhythm disorders that involves gradually delaying bedtime each night until a desired sleep schedule is achieved.
