Best sleep hack ever... If it doesn't work, you're doing it wrong!

Best sleep hack ever... If it doesn't work, you're doing it wrong!
Single dad here. I heard the hype and had to see what the fuss was all about. Normally, sleeptime is a hassle and my 2.5 yr old draws it out as long as possible. First night I read this book, he was out by page 5. Second night, he got more interactive with it (unfortunately) but still was out by the last page. How can I argue with that? Incredible! This book is not "hypnotic" in the sense that it puts kids in a trance, it merely uses suggestive words that helps them to relax and eventually fall asleep. It's more like the power of suggestion on steroids. So what if this book is long (it's not), boring, or has grammatical errors? IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS! You just have to follow the instructions and read it properly. My guess is the people failing at it are either not preparing their children to wind down for bedtime properly, or are not reading the book to them correctly. When done right, as part of a bedtime routine, it works!

I have a daughter who is almost 3. Sleep has been a major challenge for us. On days when she gets a nap, although more pleasant in the evening, it can take her an hour or more to fall asleep. On days when she does not get a nap she falls asleep in about 15 minutes. Also, I have to be holding her hand in order for her to relax enough to get to sleep. She doesn't sleep through the night - wakes up between 11PM and 1AM. Last night we read the book and she fell asleep on the second to last page of the book. My husband thought she might have fallen asleep on her own in that time - since the book is quite long. However, she slept until 3AM (she hasn't done this in over a year). We read the book again tonight and she was asleep sooner than the first night (and she had a nap today). I am hoping she sleeps even longer tonight. Also, I was NOT holding her hand! The challenges that occurred while reading it: After the first page, my daughter got agitated and impatient; as it is a very boring book. My daughter actually loves reading books at night and has a great attention span, but she started yelling, "turn the page". We just kept reading and ignored her. You aren't supposed to let anything disrupt the reading, but tonight she asked for water and I quickly got it for her. Then she asked me to help her blow her nose. As I helped her I repeated the lines that I had just read about her eyes getting heavy. She was literally blowing her nose while her eyes were rolling back into her head. I almost laughed. She was out cold seconds later. Overall, I think this book is going to work well for us. It might not work for kids who are too young to understand the meaning of the words or aren't paying attention to the words.

Swedish hypnosis? Yes, I will try ANYTHING to get my 3 yo to fall asleep quickly and STAY asleep, in her bed the whole night, but this book was NOT it. Heard about it from a friend on Facebook and ordered it immediately instead of requesting it as a present or waiting for it from the library. My 3 yo said, "Dis book is boring!" as she was jumping up and down on her bed as I'm trying to read in a slow calm voice. The pictures are nightmare-inducing. The Sleepy Snail looks like an aging-Steve Buscemi-worm and the wizard's house makes me think there's a witch waiting inside to cook me. Remember when Homer Simpson builds that clown bed for Bart? That bed is less scary than the wizard's house.

Plus it was translated from the Swedish (and apparently not edited AT ALL). But, I pretty much hate all books translated from Swedish. Stieg Larsson, John Ajvide Lindqvist, IKEA directions (That last one was a joke, obvs.).

This is a direct quote from the book.
"After a pause with relaxation the kind Sleepy Snail said that the secret is to calm down and to do everything in a more slowly manner. Walk slowly, so slowly. Move slowly, so slowly. Think slowly, breathe slowly and calm, slow and calm, just down down now."

So my kid will be sleep deprived AND speak with bad adverbs? I know I'm tired, but I can't do that to my kid.

Good ol' Amazon refunded me.

We are "that" household that has problem sleepers. Our oldest is six and youngest is two. We co-slept with both and are now trying to transition our youngest to his own bed. Some nights, however, all four of us end up in the same bed fighting for space. Bedtime has always been a battle. It is has never been relaxing, no matter the bathing, book-reading, prayers, reassurances, or other techniques. We are tired, weary, cranky parents who needed a solution.

When I heard about this book, I bought it with low expectations; we tried so many things and nothing works. I read it to our six-year-old son; IT WORKED! He feel asleep peacefully halfway through the story! I tried again another night when he wouldn't settle down...it worked again! But, as others have noted, the book is long, has intentionally unusual sentence structure in places, and for the imaginative child, can prompt a lot of questions: "how does Roger know my name?" or "why do you keep saying down like that?" There is also a bit of straining to see pictures. The book worked after some re-direction but it wasn't as calm (for me) as I'd hoped.

For our two-year-old, the book version was an epic fail. I was literally reading in a calm soothing voice and yawning as he got bored and started jumping on the bed and doing somersaults.

So, I decided to try the audiobook version. Mostly because one night after reading several other books to our six-year-old I was that lazy. After a quick download we snuggled and relaxed and let someone else do the heavy lifting. There are two chapters to the audiobook, both just over 30 minutes. Chapter 1 has brief instructions and is read by a male voice. Chapter 2 is read by a female voice. Our son was asleep within 10 minutes. After a few nights, one of us would start the book and check on him; he has yet to make it to the 8-minute mark. Tonight, he swore to me he "just wasn't sleepy." Fast asleep in 8 minutes!

For our two-year-old, the audiobook has worked much better. There are no distracting pictures. It's the same voice every night. I turn the iPad over so there is no light. Tonight, I got both boys to go to sleep at the same time, yay!!

The thing I like most is the positive sleep messaging. Children are really empowered to learn relaxation and stress management skills in a way they can understand. Mama Rabbit suggests putting thoughts in a box at night for your brain to work on. The snail suggests slow movement and breathing. The owl leads them through relaxing each part of their bodies. The uncle does positive affirmations. I think it's a great tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rooo geeer (with 2 yawns)
Reviewed in Canada on August 19, 2015
People seem to expect this book to be magical, it's not. It's not a regular picture book with happy stories that just happens to make your kids fall asleep. It's long, slow, repetitive, and can be awkward grammatically (I'm not sure if this is intentional or just lost in translation). It works though, it's relaxing, affirming, and calming. Lots of instructions within the book on how to read it, parts to read slowly, parts to emphasize, and lots of yawning cues for the reader (you're even told to pronounce the rabbits name as Rooo geeer with 2 yawns). It worked great for my 4 year old, but was a bit too advanced for my just turned 2 year old (he enjoyed it but couldn't follow the relaxing cues as well so didn't get as much out of it. It's a good book to have. I don't think we'll use it nightly, since it is quite wordy, but great for nights when your little bunnies are all riled up.
