Working parents cannot establish consistent bedtime routines when they work late shifts

Parents working late hours struggle to get their young children (ages 3-5) to sleep at reasonable times, creating a cascading problem of sleep deprivation for both child and parent, missed quality time, and difficulty maintaining any structured routine. Existing solutions like sleep training apps and generic bedtime advice fail because they don't account for the parent's actual late arrival home or provide real-time, in-the-moment support when the child is actively resisting sleep.
