FINALLY, my child sleeps! My 10 year old has always been a poor sleeper, struggling to fall asleep and waking multiple times through the night. We know all about 'sleep hygiene' and 'sleep windows', etc. We've tried everything legal, but the issue has been intractable. Kiddo's mind spins (anxiety perhaps) and sleep is elusive. A decade of this really takes a toll on a kid. The Dodow ad came across my FB feed and I thought 'what the heck, might as well.' I had the kiddo read all about the device, and kiddo was willing to give it a try. It arrived quickly, and we read through the instructions together. I let kiddo install the batteries and test it, to get 'buy-in'. It took me about 20 minutes to get it set up in the bedroom, taking the time to get it in just the right location and adjust the nightlight and ambient lighting to make the room dark enough. Kiddo fell asleep the first night within 15 minutes. I peeked in around midnight and realized the room was utterly quiet. I hadn't realized that Kiddo was also a noisy sleeper--lots of tossing and turning, heavy mouth breathing, even sleep-talking. I guess we'd just grown used to it. But that night was eerily quiet. Kiddo woke the next morning having slept through the entire night, maybe the 10th time ever. We've had it for 2 1/2 weeks now, and every night has been like the first. Kiddo falls asleep quickly each night, and sleeps straight through til morning most of the time. We traveled for the holidays, and I noticed the Dodow was the first thing Kiddo packed. I am so grateful for this device, the much-needed sleep it brings to my child, and the happy, smart, focused kid it gives me by day.
