She almost always wakes up before the clock. She's so proud that she waits for it to come on.

If so you can change the setting so it stays green longer! I changed it so it's green for an hour and a half if I don't shut its off.

And still is a year later. We started using it at 2 years exactly, and it probably started really working a couple months later. Now 3.5 and it works really well. He goes back to sleep if he wakes overnight without calling for us (even goes potty without us), and will wait quietly until it turns green in the morning. My only complaint is that with the one we got, the green goes off after 30 minutes, and his wake time is so variable, sometimes he doesn't know he's allowed to get up. Not a huge problem, but sometimes he wakes up before the light and thinks he may have slept through it. Not a huge problem, but if i were looking again, I'd try finding one where the green stays on longer. Bonus: We used it when traveling to a new time zone (4 hours off) and it was a huge help.

He understands that he has to wait for the sun to come up but that rarely happens. He loves turning it on before bed and when we go to get dressed in the morning he gets excited to see the sun. I'm still hoping that one day it will work, but I doubt it will.

I was really surprised that she obeyed and waited actually. She usually wakes up about ten minutes before and sits in her bed and sings until it lights up. I'm pleased. sslm on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2488039 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 19:36:53 +0000 sslm 2488039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: lol. Mine is definitely a rule breaker, not a follower!! hilsy85 on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2487899 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 17:19:14 +0000 hilsy85 2487899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it depends more on personality than age. If your kid is a good rule follower and susceptible to bribes then it will work well. Unfortunately mine is not, And it doesn't really work. sailgrl18 on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2487746 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:41:30 +0000 sailgrl18 2487746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have it for our 2 year old. It didn't work when he could open the door to his room and exit whenever he wanted but we then locked the door and used it. Now 90% of the time he just lays in bed and waits for his light to come on and then I open the door for him. erinbaderin on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2487742 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:38:17 +0000 erinbaderin 2487742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We got one for our 2 year old when he was going through a rough sleep patch - I don't know if it was a coincidence but he did start sleeping through the night (or at least not crying for us if he woke up). rattles on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2487734 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:30:40 +0000 rattles 2487734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DD got one right after she turned 3.

Now I don't know why we still have it. We got a remote for her light so she can turn it on and read till her clock is green. Tried no TV unless you stay in your room. Bribes, gummies and juice for breakfast, ice cream outing. Nothing works. Homegirl don't care. She will be 3 on Friday. jetsa on "What age is a toddler sleep clock useful?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-a-toddler-sleep-clock-useful#post-2487716 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:06:24 +0000 jetsa 2487716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got one at not quite 2.5 it worked great for 3 weeks and now he ignores it if you ask him if it's on he turns on the nightlight feature. It's lighting up hooray uh no dude you are supposed to wait for it to be green.

I'm wondering if it'd be worth trying a toddler sleep clock... She'll be 3 in April. When did you get one? Did it work?
