As a mom, I take charge of most of the things for my kids. I always think of what is best for them. I believed, all mothers are like me too. One of the challenges that we probably need to master, is the bedtime rituals and many more that we can thing of. Getting them to sleep is one of it; they always said they are afraid to sleep alone in their dark bedrooms. As parents, we want to give all the comfort to our children while sleeping in their own bed, in their own room, undisturbed.
I have read couple of forums, where mothers were asking for advices on how to solve this problem. There were many advices, but none one product or recommendation is good enough for me. Most of the options were to put nightlights, to dim the light or buy light lamps that regulate its brightness. Unless, you turn it off, it stays on overnight. So, I went and searched more, there were good reasons to do it but researches showed exposure to light is not good for kids, especially during night time. This bothered me, so, I read more.
Researches showed, a lit room overnight will have an effect to the sleep of the children. It reduces the quality of sleep they get which will lead to some health problems in the future. Exposure to nightlight has been associated by some researcher to the long-term recurring diseases such as the risk of acquiring cancer and other health problems. The quality and quantity of sleep the children gets affects their mental and physical growth. As recommended by pediatricians, children must sleep in dark, cool and undisturbed place. The more sleep the children gets, and the deeper it is, the better. Who would not get paranoid by this? I only want the best for my kids. So, I went on searching for more solutions. Until I come across with the Cloud-b Dreams To Go products.
Cloud-b‘s Dreamz To Go Octo is one solution I strongly recommend for this problem. It does solve the nightlight needs of the children without disrupting their sleep, because it has an automatic shut-off and the light is soothing to the eyes. It is very handy that anywhere you go you can take it with you. It is battery operated so you will not worry about source of electricity wherever you go. Should your child wants it beside him, you will not worry about the cord that it might do him harm while sleeping.
For my 2 year old boy, the Dreamz To Go Octo is the best there is I can get to ease his fear of the dark during bedtime. This helps him get comfortable and relax while slowly falling to sleep. The illumination is not too bright, it only gives him enough light not to wander his attention somewhere else in the room. Since he fall asleep fast, the 45 minutes automatic shut-off is perfect, without me worrying that the night light is still on and I need to turn it off. Where by doing so, it will worry me that I might disturb his sleep so I have to be extra careful in getting inside his room. As a toy, my son love the changing colors as well the stars and fish designs inside it.
For my 6 years old daughter on the other hand, aside from it serves as nightlight, it is a perfect added decoration for her room. The collection comes in different color that is very attractive to little girls. She definitely loved the lights as well as its effect when lighted. Like my little boy, my daughter is still in the stage where “nightmare” and dark rooms scares her, with the smiley look when lighted; this helps in tricking her mind that she is not alone.
This nightlight, I am assured that my children are getting the kind of sleep they need. This also help set-up a sleeping pattern for them since they can sleep undisturbed now. I don’t have to worry of the overnight light in their room. On the other hand, this is a great help for me too. Since I don’t have to tiptoe to their room, to check on them or to turn the lights off, I too, will get enough sleep. No need to set the alarm clock.
Others might say, there are other ways to illuminate rooms. Yes, I will agree but those lights do not have the characteristics of the “Dreamz To Go Octo”, a very handy light by night, toys for the kids and useful decoration during daytime. Aside from its usefulness for children’s room, this product is also a very nice present for any occasion. This definitely is the best product one can have.
