The Good-Nite Light

So now that my son has moved into a big boy bed, he is getting up at the CRACK!!! It started off great, then it was 6:30-6-and now 5:30...AWFUL. I'm trying to decide if I should purchase the good nite lite, it is priced at $34.99 but when all is said and done it comes out to be $45.00, which is a lot for me especially if it doesn't work.
Anyway, here is the spin on the the product...

The Good Nite Lite is a patent pending, behavioral modification device designed to promote a child's ability to get the rest that is critical for healthy development.

If a child is in the habit of waking up at a certain time, they will tend to continue this regular pattern until it is reset. Unfortunately, if the established pattern is to wake up too early, the result is a that a child will become active on their own schedule which interferes with their own healthy sleep pattern and can be a disruptive influence to the entire household particularly Mom and Dad! It can be extremely difficult to modify this pattern without a visual cue that can be easily understood by even very young children. The Good Nite Lite provides exactly this behavioral cue with its easily distinguished display of the Moon, meaning, "time to rest" and Sun display meaning "time to get up!".

Rest is one of the most important requirements for development and learning and a well-rested child is normally happier and better behaved than those that may be sleep deprived. To encourage the appropriate sleep pattern, the Good Nite Lite can gradually be set to longer and longer sleep periods until the child is getting the full nights rest required.

When you add in the fact that the parents also get additional rest, this becomes a positive experience for the whole family!


So What should I do???? I guess it is worth a try, the 5:30 wake-up call is killing me!!!!

  1. I have a similar one...you can give it a try as it didn't work for us. She would wake up and tell me "the sheep's not up yet"...I almost killed the sheep!!
