Maya Hartley

Family Sleep Editor at DreamLoo

Maya Hartley is DreamLoo's Family Sleep Editor. She researches and writes our guides on children's sleep, translating peer-reviewed studies and clinical guidance from bodies like the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) into clear, practical advice parents can use tonight. Every article is checked against current research, and any health or developmental claim is tied to a named, citable source. Maya is an editor and researcher, not a physician — DreamLoo's guides are educational and not a substitute for personalized medical advice.

Our editorial standards

  • Every claim about sleep, health, or child development is tied to a named, citable source — peer-reviewed research or guidance from bodies like the AASM, AAP, CDC, or accredited children’s hospitals.
  • We never invent statistics, studies, or expert quotes. If a claim can’t be verified, it gets rewritten without it.
  • Articles carry a visible publish date and are updated as the research changes; the "Updated" date reflects real revisions.
  • Our guides are educational and are not a substitute for personalized medical advice from your pediatrician.
