Dear Dana,

I just want to share that I am THRILLED with your program! We are now into the 2nd month and even in the very beginning he is sleeping 11-12+ hours straight through the night!

He has learned to put himself back to sleep and we never thought that would happen, it has been simply amazing! We used to be the parents who got no sleep, now our friends are jealous that he sleeps so many hours through the night and their child doesn't!I brag to EVERYONE about how well he sleeps and that we have a life again!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I never dreamed I would sleep through the night for 8 hours again! You are awesome!

Dear Dana,

I purchased Sleep Sense A few weeks ago and I am absolutely satisfied. The change was INSTANT, the same night I started reading the book was the night he started sleeping better and he keeps improving.

My wife and I are also sleeping better and we a better parents for it as we are able to enjoy our new son. Thank you for all your help. I will definitely recommend this system to any new parents

Hi Dana,

I have wanted to send an email for a few months now and thank you for your wonderful help. The $47 dollars that I spent on the program is the best investment that I have made for my son.

I had a 6 1/2 month old that was up 5 times a night. Now he sleeps 11-12 hours at night and takes two 1 1/2 hour naps each day.

I tell all my friends with young children about the program. I even told our babies doctor about it. It is so nice to put our 10 month old in his crib and listen to him talk to his stuffed dog before he falls asleep. Within two weeks of starting the program he was sleeping though the night.

At this same time he started mastering his milestones as soon as he started sleeping. I now have a super energetic baby, but he does sleep well. Thank you so much for the program!

Dana,

Why didn't we try this sooner?! As we speak he is sound asleep in his crib - and has been since 7.15 pm. We are so pleased to get the evenings to ourselves again, and Tinius - who has always been a very happy boy - is even more happy now. It is now obvious to us that he didn't get enough sleep before and that our difficulties getting him to sleep in the evenings were due to the fact that he was overly tired. Now we follow your advise on bedtime routines and everything else we learned from the sleep Sense program and are happy to say that your success rate is still 100% :-).

Best regards,

Karianne, Jarle and Tinius Wanggaard

Dana,

I would like to say a huge 'Thank You' to you. Your system is well explained and well researched and has worked wonders in our house. It is like Hana is saying 'Thank You Mammy - i really needed this', she is so happy since we began. We tell her it is 'Sleepy Girl Time' she knows what that means now and tucks her head into her blankey when we say it to her, ready for bed. She is so clever. We are going to stick to it for her sake and like the other parents you mentioned we are delighted with the time together we have now.

So once again, Thank You - keep doing what you are doing,

Good morning,

I just wanted to let you know that I purchased your on- line sleep-sense book several weeks ago. I haven't even been able read through the entire book yet...but I started implementing your ideas right away (first and most importantly, we got rid of the pacifier completely) and Emma has started sleeping right through the night. It took her a little longer than your normal time frame recommendation, but I stuck with it and it is working. We have a wonderful nightly routine that includes a bath, story and night night time and Emma is doing great. I won't say we don't have a rough night once in a while, but we are sticking with it.

I wanted to say thank you, it was well worth the money!!! Don't worry though, I will get through the entire book and will recommend it to anyone I know who is having the same trouble.

Sincerely,

Dear Dana,

I wanted to thank you for your wonderful manual. I have a baby girl of a year and a half who was very active during the day and was having problems sleeping through the night. Thanks to your program she's sleeping all night, and though she sometimes wakes up, it is for very little time and she goes back to sleep on her own.

It's been a blessing for me and my husband, but of course also for her, since she wakes up very happy and goes about her day happier than ever and as active as always, too. Again, congratulations on your new baby girl and thank you for your wonderful program. Wish you all the best all the way from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Hi Dana,

I must say the program is nothing short of a miracle..our little baby was 5 1/2 months when we did it..and its changed all of our lives..I didn't have much faith to be honest..but it all unfolded as your book indicated, much to our delight.

Ryder sleeps thru the nite and naps like a baby! Prior, he was up to nurse 4-5 times a nite and had never really slept in his crib during the day to nap .. I had to either rock him or nap with him on me .. turns out the little guy loves to be in his crib! My deepest thanks..to have something that changes your whole life is worthy of all the success I hope you are gaining.

Sincerely,

The well rested Guttridge's... Jill, Mike, and baby Ryder

Hey Dana,

My mom is jealous she did not have this book for us when we were babies! I have told ALL of my mommy friends about your wonderful book and how it gave us our lives back. My husband and I have so much time for each other now in the evenings and not worried about waking him up. Once he is sleeping, he rarely wakes up to noises. I even hosted 8 friends last week while he was sleeping. I thought the noise (as we can get pretty rowdy!) would wake him but not a peep!

I can't express enough gratitude for you writing this book, you have sincerely changed our lives! Thank you so much!

Kim Conner

Dear Dana,

I ordered the sleep sense program and had wonderful results. Tyler slept through the night without any crying by the second night. Thank you for the information, it really helped!!

Jennifer Brahsear

Hi Dana,

It is 10 to 7 on this lovely Spring evening and Joshua is sleeping soundly in his cot as he did last night and the night before for 10-12 hours. He always slept well to begin with but when he was unwell and the teething started it all went wrong. We did what we thought was the right thing to do at the time but soon realized that Joshua had developed a whole new routine - one that involved not going to sleep at night and then waking up several times a night for a bottle!!

Thankfully, your Sleepsense plan put us all back on track and we hopefully will never look back.

Many thanks again and good luck in all that you do.

Toni Taylor

Hi Dana,

We are writing you because we feel so well rested for the first time in 11 months that we actually have ambition to do things like email people!!!

Thank you so much for your program. I saw your website at 3 am one night about 3 months ago (my son was so awake I had him playing in the living room while I researched desperately for some way to make him sleep better) I was reluctant to purchase it then thinking at some point soon he would get better, which of course he didn't just as your book explains.

It has been one week today and I can tell you the improvement is incredible! He goes to bed 2-3 hours earlier (and is truly tired) he sleeps completely thru the night and awakes only an hour earlier than before!

We are one happy happy family! Thank you so much for your book and program. I really needed the moral support to be able to get thru the first difficult times. I truly believe I never would have done it without your help!

Now we can consider having another baby since I know this won't happen to me again!

Congratulations on your newest addition and Thank you again SO much for continuing to email me to encourage me to get your program!

Sincerely,

The Bates Family (very well rested now!)

Hi Dana,

Since getting onto your sleep sense program, Beau has been an angel. It was hard going for about a week or two when we first started, but now he goes to bed without hesitation and sleeps well through the night. It was a blessing to my husband and I.

We have regained our lives- slightly anyway and are back in the land of the living because of the sleep we now get in the night and a bit of a rest in the day. Thanks for your help. i have also put so many friends onto the program too and they all rave about it.

Trev and Beau

Dana,

I wanted to thank you for the Sleep Sense program. Things have been hectic at our house (contractors all over the place doing loud work during the day), so naptime has been challenging. But we implemented some things we learned from the Sleep Sense program at bedtime, and what a difference!!!

We're only on the fourth night, but already Megan has developed her own self-soothing techniques, falling asleep on her own albeit with some crying, waking only once to eat during the night and putting herself back to sleep on her own with her other nightwakings.

My husband and I are so happy to have a long stretch of sleep again! Thank you so much. We still have some work to do regarding naps, but we'll get there.

Thanks again and take care,

Christy Murray

Hi Dana,

This is the first time I have communicated with you directly since purchasing my online bible to a better life!! Austin took two and half weeks to get into the routine of an earlier bedtime and not relying on me to feed him prior to.

Our routine is bath, brush teeth, pyjama's and bed (with a bottle) starting from 6.30pm. It used to be whatever it took to get him to sleep at about 7.30pm and still be struggling at 9.30pm. Now by 7pm it is ME time and I can not thank you enough.

Kind wishes

From Stephenie B., Australia

To Dana Obleman,

I just wanted to write to let you know what a HUGE success your program has been in our household!

I am not a first time parent, my two older kids 4 & 5 have always been good sleepers. They both started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old and were also very good nappers. They would always get put to bed awake and before they were sleeping through the night, they only woke up once to eat and I never turned lights on or gave them any stimulation, I just fed them and put them straight back to bed!

With our third baby however I was not quite so vigilant. I guess it is because I know he is my last and I just always wanted to cuddle him. I knew in my head that I was creating a monster, but wanted to keep my baby a baby for as long as I could.

The other morning (at 3am) out of sheer desperation (he is 8 months old) I came across your web site and bought your book. Later that day for Orrin's second nap I began implementing your strategies and lo and behold he slept for over an hour! I was thrilled!

And that night I put him in bed awake at 7pm without his soother and he went right to sleep and did not wake up until 6:30 the next morning. I was so happy and relieved to finally have a wonderful uninterrupted sleep. But was a little worried as I was fully expecting this not to happen for another couple of weeks. Beginners luck I thought, but sure enough it has happened night after night for 5 nights now. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. Thank you very much!

Sarah Blackmore...no longer sleep deprived!

Dear Dana,

I purchased your program shortly after my first contact with your website many months ago. I am pleased to say that Georgia now sleeps through the night (12 hours minimum) and can easily put herself back to sleep should she stir during the night.

I am pregnant with my second child, due 3rd August, and am looking forward to putting this baby into a proper sleep routine much earlier than I did with Georgia.

I wanted to thank you for your sleep sense program, as I don't know what I would have done without it. I refer to it as my "bible" and have recommended it to many of my friends. My beautiful Georgia is finally getting the correct amount of sleep and she is so much happier now that she is well rested. I only feel guilty that it took me the first 14 months of her life before I did anything!

Kind regards

Jenny P.

Dana,

I actually purchased your Sleep Sense program a couple of months ago and I thought I would take this opportunity to thank you. It is absolutely amazing!

I followed all of your instructions and my 2-year old was sleeping through the night (in his own room) in less than a week. The first couple of days were terrible. He would come into our room about 15 times per night. He also threw terrible tantrums which included emptying the contents of his dressers and removing his mattress from his bed!

However, by Day 3 we started seeing positive progress. I don't have to tell you what a difference it has made in our household. We are all sleeping again and my son's overall disposition has improved. He was always a good boy but because he was tired, he would act out at times. I am happy to report that he has stopped throwing tantrums entirely and he seems generally happier and more secure.

I have referred you to six friends and I will continue to refer you to others having sleep issues. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Christie O'Toole

Dear Dana,

It has been six months since I purchased your program and after recommending it to yet another friend, I realized that I never passed along my thanks to you. This program changed our lives! After just a week of starting your program, our son, Connor (now 17 months), has been regularly sleeping through the night and still takes 2 naps during the day with little or no struggle.

I had read a few other books and articles about getting your baby to sleep through the night, but your book was the first one that really "clicked" with me.

Thank you for providing actual step-by-step instructions for implementing the program, unlike other books/articles, which discuss the theory and procedures at great length, but don't give you the REAL tools you need, like multiple examples, a workbook, and the Sleep Sense spreadsheet. Using the examples you provided, I created a customized "Daily Routine" sheet for Connor, which I kept for about six weeks. The routine became so routine that we still follow it! Not only that, but another huge benefit was that I determined that Connor has some food allergies that I probably never would have realized had I not been recording his daily meals and sleep patterns!

Thank you again for making your program available at an affordable price and for conveying your knowledge in a straightforward yet compassionate manner. I'm just so thankful I found it for our first child! I truly don't know what we would have done without it!

Sincerely,

Kristin Oakes

Hi Dana,

I purchased your program 9 days ago and since then we have a new baby boy. Hayden slept 12 hours last night, from 7pm - 7am. WOW!!!!!! He now sleeps more during the day, in fact he sleeps for two hours at a time instead of just the standard 40 mins. And it's all because we now start our routine earlier and put him to bed before 7pm. He only cries sometimes and that we think is because we let him go to long and he is slightly overtired. Otherwise he has adapted really well.

Thank you so much. Hayden now has a very happy Mummy.

Regards,

Alison Jansen

Dana,

I just got your message and program about 2 hours ago and I can't believe I am writing you at 8:21 pm. This is usually when I am struggling to get my 3 year old to bed. But we followed your plan to the letter - developed a routine - and she was asleep by 8:12. I even hung around a little and have checked on her once just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Thank you so much. I cannot tell you what a help this has been. I know every night might not go this smoothly but I now have hope for a normal life again.

Stephanie Haley
Annie's mom

Hi Dana,

I just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!! Your program really does work!!!

Our 15 month old son was waking 3 or 4 times a night. We were so tired that we would just put him in bed with us to get at least some sort of rest.

I bought your book last week and tried the first night. He woke several times but would be sleeping again in a matter of minutes. Now, less than a week later he goes to bed @ 7:00p and and sleeps 12 - 13 hours, maybe waking once.

Again thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Sarah Turnbaugh
RESTED MOMMY!!!

Hi Dana,

We subscribed to your Sleepsense program and I am pleased to say that last night, for the first time ever, Jaime slept for 9.5 hours!

I put her to bed at 7pm and she went to bed without any protest (this has happened for 4 sleeps in a row now!). She woke at 10pm so I fed her(roll over feed) and returned her awake to her bed....where she stayed until 7.30 this morning. I did hear her stir at 2am, however, to my amazement she resettled herself back to sleep. After 13 consecutive nights of getting up to her at least twice during the night... my husband and I couldn't believe it!

Thanks very much for writing a program that gave us (me in particular) the confidence to let her learn how to sleep like the big girl that she is (7 months now)!!

Best,

Natalie & Simon

Thanks, Dana!

I bought the e-book one week ago one sleep-deprived night around 11PM. Voraciously I read a few chapters and resolved to start SleepSense immediately. I liked the practical, hands-on solutions you described for my 8-month old daughter. I've paid better attention to her physical cues for sleepiness. I didn't even realize that she had a routine for the day until I read your book.

Planning my schedule around her naps is tricky, but well worth it. In less than 4 days she could sleep through the night WITHOUT me getting up to feed her and rock her back to sleep. In a week, she was able to go down to sleep for a nap or the night without a fuss - peacefully looking up at me as if to say, "thanks, I really am sleepy right now and I want to go to bed".

Now I'm the one who has to adjust to going to sleep before 10PM! My clock is still wired to stay up to lull the baby back to sleep one last time before I put myself to sleep. After watching my daughter, my mother-in-law is very impressed with how easy it is to take care of her. Her words were, "whatever you're doing is working, so keep it up."

Sincerely,

Winnona Gaviglio

Dana,

I cannot thank you enough for giving me the gift of sleep! Two days before my son turned 9 months old, I was at my wits end and felt like I was on the verge of a breakdown. I had not had more than 4 hours straight of sleep in a year, and was truly exhausted. It affected my home life, my relationships with friends, and especially the quality of my work at my job.

My son had never slept more than 5 or 6 hours straight, but at 6 months old he began to wake up every 3-4 hours. I honestly thought he was just hungry, but didn't realize I was setting him and myself up for sleep failures. Well, he is now 9 months old. As of last night, which was night # 8, on your sleep program, Christian slept for 10 1/2 hours straight! He woke up one time, cried for about 30 seconds, and was back asleep before I could even open my eyes to check the time. By night 3, he was sleeping 9 hours, which was amazing to me. Because I was so accustomed to waking up throughout the night, I can't even sleep past 4:30 am now, but I know that it will take some time for my body to realize that it can truly rest again.

Thank you for giving me my me-time back in the evenings, for giving me sleep back at night, and for teaching me how to be a better parent. We are all much happier now, and I am even back to working out in the mornings while Christian sleeps. At this point, I am telling EVERY parent that I know about your program. It was well worth every cent and more!

God bless you!

Gailda Davis

Hi there,

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

I just had my first full night of sleep in 5 1/12 months. It was the third night of implementing the program and she slept from 7:00 to 5:00 and went back down until 7:00. I am so happy I woke up crying:)

Thanks again! You are a life saver

Elyce, Kevin, and Jaidyn Battle

Hi Dana

Just to let you know that I purchased your book this day last week and I am so delighted to report that Charlie's sleeping patterns have improved greatly so much so that he has slept through the night for the past 3 nights. It was the best money I ever spent on a book and I am really delighted with his progress all thanks to your book. I hope it continues !

Claire O'Callaghan

Hi Dana,

I signed up to your sleepsense program around 2 weeks ago. The first night, Jamie fell asleep after 20 minutes. Since then, Jamie has slept through every single night.

This is a major breakthrough after 15 months of broken sleep!!! I already knew what I should be doing to get Jamie to sleep really, but your book gave me the confidence, and encouragement to actually do it.

Many thanks

Joy Lumb

Dear Dana

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your sleep programme is fantastic and truly works! Last night was our 6th night and things are going brilliantly well! I really can't thank you enough.

Joel slept through on the 3rd night, had a bit of a blip on the 4th night, but I think it was because he had a dirty nappy and was uncomfortable but 5th and 6th nights...straight through!

I can't recommend your book highly enough and will certainly be mentioning it to all my friends in Britain who are having similar problems.

Thank you

Carolyn

Hi Dana

You are a life saver!!!! Within 1,5 weeks of starting your program, Kaide is going down at 7:30 with no arguments, and he is managing to put himself back to sleep within 10 minutes, he is also having two nice sleeps in the day. I am a totally different person, and our relationship has improved tenfold.

After having just accepted that this was to be my lot in life, I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to survive on between 3 and 5 hours sleep a night. I have my own business, which means if I loaf, I don't get paid, so sleeping in the day is out of the question. Kaide is with me all day and would only sleep for 30 minutes once a day, so as you can imagine, I could not function to full capacity at all.

We got advice from everyone, and tried everything, but all people could say was, "you made your bed, now lie in it." Everyone knew the problem, but no-one could give us a solution, even the doctors. That is until I stumbled upon your website. You made it so easy.

Our history with Kaide was the cause of the problem. When he was born, his Dad and I were building a lodge in the Kruger National Park. Seeing as the house we were in was the only accommodation at the time, we had to share it with builders, plumbers, head office staff etc etc, with up to 14 people sleeping in a three bedroom house with us and our 6 week old baby.

Kaide also had colic, and as I was the only one who never had to do heavy work, it was my duty to keep the little guy quiet when he awoke in pain, so everyone else could get a decent nights sleep. I would sit up all night with him to keep him quiet, and pass out at about 5am. During the day he would only sleep for 6 minutes at a time, so there was no time for me to sleep then either. As he got older we found that if he went down before 8pm he would wake at 9:30, and would not go back down until 12:00. If we put him down at 9pm, he would sleep till 8am, but still he awoke at least 5 times a night and needed me.

Having become so accustomed to rocking and shushing him back to sleep, when he awoke in the night, that is exactly what I would do. Not realizing that this was not actually what was expected of me, that my child would not despise me, or worse end up with a low IQ from screaming. I definitely suffered with depression and only now can I see how badly. I was starting to lose it, and Kaide and I were not enjoying one another at all. Your program has given us back our lives, and has recreated that special bond that I lost with my child.

Thank you so much

Gary, Candice and Kaide
