Dr. Spikes-Franklin is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Texas Children’s Hospital and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Dr. Spinks-Franklin's research interests are in the areas of the cultural aspect of child development.

The importance of the patient’s history in determining the causes of symptoms. The various factors, including the homeostatic and circadian drive, in regulating sleep. The difference between REM and non-REM sleep and the physiological processes of each. How sleep changes from childhood to adolescence. Considering both the genetic and environmental components of sleep disorders. How social media activity negatively impacts natural sleep rhythms. What parents can do to mitigate some of the environmental hindrances such as electronics. Maintaining a teen’s circadian rhythm by not allowing them to sleep in over weekends. Examples of breathing techniques to help calm down hyperactive or anxious kids. The benefits of gratitude journaling and general journaling before bed. Night sports and adrenaline: encouraging parents to prioritize their children’s needs. What families’ dinner- and bedtime routines reveal about a household.
