Good Nite Lite Review & $100 Think Geek Gift Certificate Giveaway

Being that we are on the topic of sleep here on my blog, I thought I would introduce you to the Good Nite Lite. What exactly is it? It is a programmable nightlight that helps establish healthy sleep/wake cycles for your children.

Now as I have said before, going to bed is not a problem for Zoelle. In fact, I think she actually looks forward to it. She also is an excellent sleeper at night and typically doesn't wake up until eight in the morning. However, lately, we have had some issues with her both not falling asleep right away or also not sleeping until eight. I know I shouldn't complain right? I have tons of friends who have told me over the last few years that I am beyond blessed to get her to sleep in that late. And I know I am! It's just when you get so used to sleeping in until then and all of a sudden you have a certain little two year old singing at the top of her lungs at seven in the morning, you are tired, and it's not so fun! Thus, I found Think Geek and the Good Nite Lite.

When we first got it and showed it to Zoelle, she was thrilled to finally have a nightlight in her room. I'll admit, this thing is not very pretty. But her room is dark, very dark and I've always wanted her to have a nightlight, plus it works on sleep training, so I thought why not give it a try? Plus she loves the corelation between the sun and the moon.

How it works is pretty simple. You set the time on when you want your little one to go to sleep and wake up in the morning. You also take the time to explain to them that when the moon is on, it means quiet and to sleep.

When the sun is on, you may get up. Pretty simple to use and simple for a toddler to understand.

I am pretty sure you are all wondering if it worked to help Zoelle to sleep again until eight? The answer is that some days it does, and others it doesn't. I think if we had started this a year ago when she was one, she would have absolutely no problem sleeping in until eight every morning. The thing with Zoelle is that she is too smart! One morning as she was singing/talking/playing at 7:30 a.m., I quickly ran up the stairs and told her that the moon was still on so she has to stay sleeping. What does she tell me? "No, no, no mom! The sun isn't on the nightlight, but it is outside so I can be up now!". Yep, that smart! :) One positive is, that she does seem to realize that if the moon is on, she must be quiet even if she is awake.
