Works every time

My daughter has used this every night for nearly a year , her brain just registers with book and goes to sleep now . It’s so lovely too.
She goes to sleep with positive thoughts too.
This is the new way to get a better nights sleep.
My older boys and I also use audible for the same purpose.

A surprise for me

We have been using this audio book to assist at bedtime for the last month.
Tonight was the first time I realised there is 2 chapters, both the same story but read by different narrators.
It definitely works on both me and my 3 year old son, and we are both normally fast asleep by halfway through the first chapter.

Snooze at ten

Works incredibly well. I prefer the first in the series - the rabbit one. But they both normally see me asleep before the end of the chapter.

Awesome.

This has worked for my 3 year old every night for the last 2 months. He loves it and falls asleep about 15-20 mins in. We just use a Bluetooth speaker and play it in his room from our phones. Works a dream!

Highly recommended +++++

I use this to put myself to sleep...

This has put me to sleep many times. My 2 year old likes the story and does fall asleep to it, as do I, and my husband!
