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. Check it out at www.goodnitelite.com A testimonial from one of our patients: "I affectionately refer to my 3 and 4 year olds as my sleep terrorists. They have never stayed in their cribs or beds past 4am. They fight me every night about going to sleep. I tried devising a system with a light and timer to tell them when it was time to sleep and to wake up, but that never worked - invariably the light would get changed by little hands. My pediatrician proudly told me about this product as the inventor is the father of a patient of the practice we use. I'll try anything that might generate sleep so I ordered it the same day.
In just four days, this has been life changing. I
don't have to be the bad guy at night as they know their entire routine must
be complete when the moon comes on (no more just one more story, I can see
the light through my window - oh, how we dread sunlight at night around
here) and they actually stay in their beds until the sun comes on. I feel
like a new person. Thank you for accomplishing what no other product (and
believe me we have tried them all) could!!!" Allison M
