Hear from families who've transformed bedtime routines and morning wake-ups with SleepingKid.
My 3-year-old son finally understands when to stay in bed! The rabbit character has become his sleep buddy and he knows not to call for me unless it's wake-up time.
Our daughter would wake up at 5am every day and think it was time to start the day. SleepingKid has been a life-saver - she now stays quietly in bed until her "bunny is awake too."
I recommend SleepingKid to all my clients. It's the perfect visual cue for children who are too young to read a clock but need to understand sleep boundaries.
Our bedtime battles are finally over! After months of struggles, our twins understand when it's sleep time thanks to SleepingKid. The customizable characters were a big hit - each girl got to pick her own. Now they compete to see who can stay in bed until wake-up time. This app has literally changed our family's life and given us back our evenings and early mornings.
With twins, consistent sleep is crucial. SleepingKid helped establish a routine they both understand. The sound detection feature is brilliant for when one wakes up crying.
My daughter loves her "sleepy bear" character and looks forward to seeing him every night. She now understands that when bear is sleeping, she should be too!
Working night shifts made it hard to explain to my 4-year-old when to stay in bed. SleepingKid has given him the visual cues he needs, even when I'm not home.
We tried everything to stop early wake-ups. Within a week of using SleepingKid, our son started staying in bed until his owl character was "playing outside."
As a pediatrician, I appreciate that SleepingKid uses visual cues that match child development. Children understand the sleeping/awake characters intuitively.
With three kids under 6, sleep is precious. SleepingKid has given us back our mornings. The weekend vs. weekday scheduling is perfect for our family's changing routine.
I recommend SleepingKid to all parents in my classroom. The sound-activated display is genius - it helps children self-regulate without needing to call for parents.
