Board-Certified Pediatric Sleep Physician | Founder, Restful Sleep MD
When you are exhausted, the last thing you need is rigid, judgmental sleep dogma. We wanted a medical sleep expert who understands that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to pediatric sleep. Dr. Brown provides evidence-based, compassionate strategies that respect your family's unique dynamics—helping everyone get the rest they desperately need without the guilt.
Funke Afolabi-Brown, MD, FAASM, is a board-certified pediatric sleep medicine physician, a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the founder of Restful Sleep MD. As a working mother and physician, she has seen firsthand how a lack of sleep impacts the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the entire family.
Dr. Brown is deeply passionate about helping exhausted parents and their children develop healthy, sustainable sleep habits. Rather than forcing families into a specific "sleep training" camp, she evaluates the whole picture—routines, environment, and development—to create tailored plans that actually work.
Through her practice and advocacy, Dr. Brown empowers families to reclaim their rest, so that both parents and children can thrive, focus, and feel their best every single day.
