WOULD YOU LIKE AN EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP EACH MORNING?
YOU CAN WITH A SAM SHEEP CLOCK! 
 
Plus it's the most fun way to learn to tell the time
Toddlers and children are notorious for waking up in the middle of the night or for being early risers - it's one of the most common and exhausting concerns of parents. Many parents are woken early every morning by children creeping into Mum and Dad's bed, rather than waiting for the signal that they can rise and shine at reasonable time.  Does this situation below look familiar?
 
 
Developing healthy sleep habits is essential for children's growth and development. This clever sleep trainer clock features an adorable sheep called Sam who, by opening and closing his eyes, tells your child when it is time to get up. 
 
When the sheep's eyes are closed - "You should be sleeping" and eyes open - “Rise and Shine”. Even if your child wakes up early, the Sam sheep clock encourages them to stay in bed until his eyes open.
 
The colours are the same as traffic lights. 
 
Like a regular alarm clock it displays digital time as well analogue, teaching children how to read time both ways.
 
Red light- you should be sleeping
 
Yellow light - you can be awake, just a little longer in bed
 
Green light - well done, it's OK to get up
 
 
Sam Sheep goes to sleep when you put your little one to bed. The sheep closes his eyes and the nightlight shines red, meaning ‘It is time to sleep’.
 
In the morning, Sam's light display changes to yellow 30 minutes prior to alarm time, showing your child there is not much longer until 'rise time' -  the 12 stars on the screen will disappear one by one, counting down the 30 remaining minutes.
 
When the pre-programmed wake time comes and it’s time to get up, Sam the sheep clock's alarm plays, the screen changes to green and he opens his eyes to let your little one know that it’s ok to get up.
 
 
At a pre-set morning time, Sam's eyes will still be closed
but the light will change to yellow, indicating 'Get Up' time is only 30 mins away!
Children can read or play quietly in their bed until Sam's eyes open.

The Gift of Good Sleep
Thank you for understanding that this sleep trainer clock is not a "magic overnight fix" for sleep issues. Like any positive sleep routine, it requires commitment and consistency. But the long term benefits will be worth it.  
Children of all ages need good sleep, full stop. Children have better brain function, better mood and better physical capability if they have had sufficient rest - 12 hours overnight for a 2 year old through to 10-11 hours for a primary age child.  Parents also need good sleep, if they are to positively attend to all that is required for a happy family life.  You've completed the newborn journey, when waking numerous times overnight and early morning waking was a normal function of newborn life. But around the child's 1st birthday, expectations change.  
If habits have crept into your family's routine that you would like to change (eg: children sleeping in parental bed, child only soothing if parent lies beside them, child waking at dawn), then you will need to understand that it will take days or maybe weeks to re-train these habits.  
It may be a case of 2 steps forward, and 1 step back.  There will be times it feels too hard or stressful or not worth it, but hold firm. In the long run, it's your child's health and wellbeing, and your energy and fulfillment as a parent that will benefit.  That sounds like worth playing for!  
Sam the sheep clock is even more effective when used with our range of White Noise Machines, which provide a soothing background noise, continuously or set on a timer. These machines are ideal for blocking outside noise distractions - ambulances, noisy neighbours, early morning bin trucks, birds, thunder storms, and other siblings playing around the house. Sleep advisors around the world endorse the use of 'white noise' style machines as a calming, consistent sleep inducer.  And millions of parents agree.  Prices for our safe and effective Sound Machines start at only $49.

Once those sleepless nights with a newborn baby are coming to an end, parents begin to learn that staying in bed and understanding the concept of time is something their young ones just won’t grasp. It’s exciting being in a big kids’ bed, with the freedom to get up and wake mummy or daddy up far too early. This is where sleep trainer clocks come to the rescue and help your children learn the concept of time. 
What age to start using sleep trainer clocks? 
Like a lot of issues that can happen with babies, using sleep training clocks can start at varying ages. However, it is generally recommended to begin at around 18 months. 
Starting your child at this age allows them to learn how to identify simple things like “night” and “day”. Our sleep trainer clocks are available for delivery across Australia.
How Does the Clock Work? 
Trainer clocks work through a traffic light analogy system. When it is time to sleep, our sleep trainer clock will close his eyes and turn red, indicating sleep time. The clock will turn yellow half an hour before the alarm is due to go off, this is indicating to your child that it’s not time to get up yet, you can be awake but you need to be in bed. 
Once the specific time is reached on the clock, the sleep trainer clock turns green, now your child knows they can get up and get excited about breakfast. 
What colour options are available? 
Our sleep trainer clock known as Sam the Sheep, comes in grey/white, blue/white, and pink/white. Each clock has a traffic colour system displaying red, yellow, and green for the various times that have been set. 
Each alarm clock’s eyes open and close by themselves, have adjustable lighting, and a choice between sheep bleating or a general alarm sound.
Why buy sleep trainer clocks? 
Sleep trainer clocks help your child understand the concept of time, your child may not be able to read the time on an analog clock yet, but through specific colour changes your child will begin to understand and learn how time works. 
Sleep Trainer Clocks can become an important part of setting up a sleep routine as your child grows older, which can help as your child grows up and learns how to self regulate their own sleeping habits. If you want to buy a sleep trainer clock, Snotty Noses has an adorable option for you.
 Snotty Noses Specializes in Nasal Aspirators, Humidifiers and Vaporizers.

My son loves Sam. He kisses him goodbye before daycare as well as good night. That said, he unlocked him the very first time his toddler finger touched him... I would suggest that a 3-second hold is not toddler-proof, not my toddler anyway. Since that time he has also changed the clock from 24 hour, changed the time and also the alarm. So Sam lives on the shelf now, up high. It is a good product, a brilliant enhancement would be to change the orange period to 15 minutes. 30 minutes is a long time to wait as a little person to get up out of bed and start the day. I know you can manually open his eyes, but to my point above, that just encourages the toddler to want to touch his buttons, make the beeps, change the numbers and open the eyes and find the green. But in the world of parenting, I'll take all that, Sam is as perfect as it gets!

“MUMMMMMM ITS GREEENNNN!!” So it’s obviously working. Again from day 1. The traffic light system makes far more sense than the usual yellow and blue in other clocks.

I bought this to use for my 2.5 year old twin boys. I had trouble keeping them in bed and getting them to sleep to a decent time in the morning, since going into their big beds. They now stay in bed whenever the sheep is red and understand that they can’t get out of bed until he turns green. Every morning they get so excited that he has turned green and I have to go see! It’s also a very cute design which my boys love. I just had to put him somewhere high up as they kept unplugging him to hug in bed.

I wish I purchased this sooner! Bed times were getting very late. As soon as we introduced Sam to our son it was brilliant. He would wait in anticipation for Sam to turn red and close his eyes. Life saver!

The clock design is good. Very user friendly and easy setup. Good concept of showing sleeping and waking time. The clock didn’t really work for my 3 year old. He can tell that the sheep is sleeping or waking but it doesn’t prevent him from getting out of bed or getting out of his room before ‘waking up time’, no matter countless times we tried to show him the concept of yellow and green. It didn’t work as well as the way I had hoped that it would work . Nonetheless I still think it’s one of the better sleep trainer clock on the market after looking into a range of them . Delivery of product was prompt and communication of my order was good.

Sam Sheep is a great product, it is the correct colours to encourage sleep, unlike other sleep training clocks (as explained to us by a sleep doctor). It is a cute design to interest children, our little boy calls it lamby! The set-up was a little confusing, but once we got it working, it now works really well.
