Getting a good night's sleep is so important for babies, toddlers, kids and adults, including mum and dad! Having interrupted sleep can cause problems in the entire household!
It's important to know that babies need approximately 16 or more hours of sleep each day. As babies get older, from about 3mths of age, they sleep for longer periods at a time and only need about 10hours per day.
These are just guidelines and please know that every single baby/human is different.
Our nightlights might help play a part in your family getting more sleep!
It's commonly known that blue lighting can interrupt sleep patterns and negatively effect the quality of sleep. It's recommended to turn off and remove blue lighting like fluro lights, computer screens, phone screens and TV. Do this about 30-60mins before you plan to go to sleep.
Melatonin is a hormone that helps your body know when it's time to sleep and wake up. Humans make more melatonin at night time, and this usually starts as the sun goes down. (And melatonin goes down in the morning as the sun comes up).
Lighting can effect your melatonin production.
Research* suggests that red lighting may stimulate melatonin, and that this will help create a sense of sleepiness. We definitely want our babies to feel sleepy and go off to sleep.
Yes, according to recent studies and research it is! Try it and see if it works for you and your family.

Let's keep this simple, blue lighting is bad and red lighting is good.
Our research says that without a doubt red is the best colour to assist in the production of melatonin. This improves the ability to get sleepy before bed and to have a better quality sleep during the night.
You can try combinations of pink and purple lighting too.
Avoid Blue Lighting, Green lighting and yellow lighting.
We hope this helps in some small way that you and your little ones get a good nights sleep!
