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.

We purchased this clock for our grandchildren and it was delivered to Margaret River within 5 days from the east coast which was excellent service. I had no problems ordering and their reply emails kept me informed on the progress. They have just started using the clock so will probably take a few weeks to see if it helps with their sleep pattern. Overall very pleased with the service.

Really happy with Same the sheep. My 2yo twins were very early wakers who needed something to know when the "sun up" happened but without having the curtains open. When I looked at another very popular sleep trainer clock, I was so concerned to see that it uses a blue light which is known to be disruptive to sleep. I was very happy to find Sam the Sheep has a red light overnight which is perfect. My girls are now settling themselves back to sleepuch better and you can hear them chatting the few minutes before it goes green as we have tdld them that they can chat or play quietly when Sam is orange. We then hear their excited cries of "sheep green! Sun up!" When Sam.opens his eyes and we go to get them.

For the past two years we have used a groclock with our kids but really disliked that it emits blue light during the night so I started looking around for one that had red light instead and came across Sam the sheep. Our boys love Sam! He has been wonderful for reminding them to stay in their beds when the light is stop red and that they can come out of their room when it’s green go time.

Excellent product. It took a couple of days for the toddler to understand that you wake up when Sam does. Sooo much better than 5am wakes, and going to bed has been much easier when Sam turns red. Excellent product. Easy to set up

Hi! My friend was happy with your product and you seem to have a strong brand, but I’ve received about a dozen emails from you after just one purchase, which to me feels like overkill and makes me unsubscribe. Just two well targeted emails would have been better to achieve your purpose.

I purchased this clock a couple of weeks ago and so far my 3 year old son loves it! He quickly understood what the different colours meant, and it only took him a few days to fall into the routine. He now waits until Sam is green to call out to me in the morning, and that extra hour has been a life saver. My only slight annoyance with it is that if you do not have batteries installed and the plug is pulled out or the power goes out, all of the settings become reset so it becomes a bit tedious to have to keep reprogramming it. Easily solved by having batteries in it, but it would have been nice if this were not necessary. Apart from that, I highly recommend this for all toddlers!

I recently purchased a Sam the Sheep to help my little one begin to learn what an acceptable wake up time is and when it is bed time. After weeks of late nights and very early mornings ‘Sam’ has started to work his magic and now before bed she checks to make sure Sam is going to sleep at the same time as her. I would highly recommend ‘Sam’ for any parent who is keen to teach their kids about time and to encourage a positive sleep routine.

Have found Sam very effective for my 2.5 year old. What sold me on Sam over and above other sleep clocks was the red/orange/green lights (as opposed to a blue night light, which can disturb sleep) and that she could actually see Sam sleeping or awake (as opposed to others that used stars or colours only). We taught her about the colours of the traffic lights and what they mean before introducing Sam. She now says “goodnight” and “good morning” to Sam, and knows she needs to be quiet while he is still sleeping. She gets very excited to show us when Sam wakes up. We didn’t find Sam difficult to use or to follow instructions, as mentioned by other reviews.
