Movie Review: Best Sleep Guide Available
Summary: 5 Stars
At nearly two years old my son still slept poorly, waking early, often, and skipping naps. Since his birth, I had read all the popular sleep books, as well as academic journal articles, and had even taken my son to a specialist, but to little avail. A few weeks ago, in yet another wave of desperation, I checked the Sleepy Planet website and saw that not only was their book out, but that this video was available as well. I immediately got my hands on both, and my son is now sleeping through the night and taking daily naps! Once in bed, he puts himself to sleep with no crying. He even chortles with pleasure as he snuggles under his blanket. This was largely accomplished in a single 24 hour cycle with no crying episode lasting over 10 minutes. The best part, though, is that after my mother-in-law visited last week, we were able to get immediately back on track, and, as parents with older kids will appreciate, that is the key to long term success.
The Sleepy Planet program is superior because it is at once easy to follow, yet comprehensive. The video is a godsend. As another reviewer commented, my husband, too, would never read a self-help book, but, with the promise that it was less than an hour long, I did get him to watch this video, and it has made all the difference. My previous explanations of what I had read didn't make a lasting impression on him, but after viewing this video we are finally on the same page and working consistently as a team. Our son has responded beautifully.
The authors do a masterful job of combining the best of the popular approaches: the regular check-ins of Ferber, the scheduling ideas and concern for easy implementation of Weissbluth, the gentleness of "No Cry" (My son actually cried less with this than with "No Cry"), as well as offering some useful suggestions for co-sleeping families (see especially their book). In addition, the program (1) provides emotional support for parents and shows the parents how to support the child. This is conveyed especially well in the video, and, as a 2-year veteran of sleep issues, I can attest that without addressing the emotional needs of both parent and child, no technique is going to work for very long. (2) The author's suggestions are also very concrete. They virtually tape marks on the floor and hand you cue cards! They tell you how to set up your child's room, how to dress him, how long to keep him in bed, etc. This attention to detail is a boon to sleep-deprived parents, and the suggestions work. (3) At just about every potential stumbling block they are there ahead of you, offering their sensible, easy-to-implement guidance. Every place I used to get derailed, they have thought through and offer a solution that is consistent with the overall practice they advocate. (The book is the best place to go for this detail and for special circumstances and developmental issues; the Q&A session at the end of video is also helpful.)
My whole family is happier now. My son is thriving on this regime as never before and he's proud of his ability to sleep well. Within a day or two of starting the program he lay down on a blanket in the living room and, with a big smile, and announced that he was "practice sleep!"
