Find out how your child can sleep more soundly

Gone are your days of – “I sleep when I feel like it”. Now, you sleep only when your kids allow you to. Well, there is a phone app that will make it easier to put your kids to bed without them fighting you off every single time.

Then he was struck with a sound idea (pun intended), when he noticed that certain sounds made his girls yawn and nod off. The once tired father said: “I looked for an app to help them doze off but there wasn’t one, so I created my own.”

Try an app that puts your kid to sleep

Check out the app called White Noise Ambience, it plays soothing sounds and has already been quite a hit with parents worldwide—making Matthew about S$120,000 a year! He simply went around recording sounds that are gentle like lapping waves, purring kitties, rainfall on a car roof, garden sprinkler and steam engines.

Then he played it to the twins when it was naptime. And before you know it, he was sleeping like a baby—because his babies were sleeping too! The app designer said: “The girls’ favourite is waves crashing. I like rain on a car. I drop off after ten minutes of that.”

You should consider trying this app if you have exhausted all other means, it has 150 sounds that includes frogs and even a tumble dryer. Another option is to trick your kid to sleep, here are some tips. It is useful to instill good sleep habits for your child.
