Do you have trouble getting your little one to get to bed and staying there until morning?
Mine have not really been great sleepers but they’ve not been really troublesome too. We’ve had the waking nights and still have the early morning waking up – not really so early anymore, thank goodness. But all in all, it’s been pretty manageable. Or maybe I’ve just forgotten as mine are older now.
I know that it’s hard, when you have little ones. When all you want to do is have a lie in until may be just 6 am! Not too much to ask right?
Especially with National Sleep In Day coming up on the 30th, you’ll probably be wanting a lie in. The clocks do go back an hour but knowing the children, they’ll be up at the normal time. Only their body clocks to blame.
To help you get a good night’s sleep in the future, we’ve got 2 Sleep Tight All Night sleep aids to give away. Here’s a little more about the product –
Sleep Tight All Night is a versatile 4 in 1 product that has been specially designed to help teach children when to sleep and when it’s time to get up – aiding the transition from cot to bed. It offers a unique sleep aid system that has been based on scientific studies relating to the colours associated with inhibiting and encouraging sleep. With a range of soothing sounds and a glowing light this soft huggable toy will provide comfort and reassurance to little ones at bedtime with just a squeeze of the tummy.
Research has shown that green light can impede sleep by inhibiting the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, whereas red light has the opposite effect and can aid sleep. The Sleep Tight All Night range taps into these findings by using red and green lights to teach children when to go to sleep and when to get up; all of which goes towards creating an established sleep routine for little ones.
Each product in the range consists of an easy to use Sleep Tight All Night ‘module’ which slots comfortably inside the soft toy. Parents can set the module to sleep mode which helps the child drift off to sleep using soothing sounds and a soft red glowing light, and if the child wakes in the night, a squeeze of the toy’s tummy will make the red light glow and the soothing sounds will play again, comforting the child, helping them get back off to sleep. When reaching the selected time, the module changes to a green glowing light when squeezed by the child; communicating that it’s time to get up and go! Pre-setting the times is easy so both parents and children can enjoy a peaceful night and sleep tight – all night!
The night time sleep aid companion also doubles up as a fun toy for children to play with during the daytime with fun character phrases activated by a simple press of the tummy.
Sleep Tight All Night is available in teddy, puppy and unicorn soft toy versions (RRP £29.99), as well as other licenced characters including In the Night Garden Igglepiggle (RRP £34.99).
