 Topic: sleep training clocks
Posted: 01 April 2011 at 6:06am |
Can anyone recommend them? I'm thinking of getting the monkey one, DS (2) is a monkey after all!
He wakes up at 1ish, 3ish and 5ish or some combination of that but all I have to say is still night time back to sleep and hes out like a light. So I'm thinking I could get the monkey to do the work for me.
He's still in the cot so I was hoping to get the monkey keep sleeping technique in place before I put him in a real bed. Or am I wishful thinking?

I use the gogo light. hmm I forget its name but you can get it from sleepstore and it has been great. It plugs into the wall which has been great because I didn't want to be replacing batteries all the time. It is strong, Ds has thrown it across the room a few times and it is still going strong.
Only thing was when we went camping we could take it with us and he missed it. He likes to kiss his goodnight each night. It wasn't really a problem as he still slept well but cute that he missed it.

we just recently got the Ok to wake clock link runs by batteries and turns green with its Ok to get up. We set it for 7am and Ella loves it and since getting it hasn't gotten out of her room before 7. Every morning she runs into our room yelling 'the lights green I can get up'
I think I know the monkey one you are talking about, but I didn't think it glowed in the dark so might not help much during the night- thats the reason we got the Ok to wake clock.

I just bought a timer switch and plugged a low-light lamp into that. If the lights off, DH goes in and settles her back to sleep, if the lights on, when she calls, I'll come and get her up. The light isn't bright enough to wake her, but it makes an obvious difference to the room when it's on. It only seems to work when she's healthy though

DS sleeps with the light on, so the light ones wouldn't work for us thats why I'm considering the monkey.
We used to turn the light off, but he would just wake in the night yelling light light, so its left on all the time now. The night lights we tried weren't bright enough I don't think.
Good to hear they work tho! I'm thinking i should have bought one last week tho, since daylight savings ends this weekend!!

Ours has a light but it can also be turned off and we have always turned it off as DS has always slept in darkness. SOmetimes I actually think when it changes to the sun and the light comes on that it wakes him.

Has anyone tried the Gro clock?
It seems a little expensive at $99 but would sooo be worth it if it works.

I believe that is the clock I have. It has a sun and a star for night time, yes?
If it is the same clock it is great and so strong. DS has thrown it across the room a few times and it works just fine still.
It is great being a plug in clock as you don't need to worry about batteries.
THink mine was more like $79 from sleepstore.
