“Traditional lullaby's have shown to be ineffective at helping infants fall asleep, and in many cases has shown to aggravate the situation. White noise, pink noise, brown noise and any other color noise do not work because it's just that, noise. What truly does work are sleep associations, and that is what Sleep Angel has developed."

SLEEP STATISTICS
Sleep helps us solve problems, react quickly, form memories, and learn, among a slew of other important life functions. Inadequate sleep (sleep deprivation) keeps all of that from happening. Sleep also impacts a child’s physical and mental well-being. How well they do in school for example. The body releases hormones during sleep that aid growth, muscle development, and the repair of cells and tissue. All very important factors for living a healthy life.
