Forget Numbers for Now

Focusing on the “perfect” amount of sleep can be counter-productive. Our sleep needs change seasonally, as we age, and depend on how much stress we are under as well. Only you can tell how much you need, so focus your attention on how you feel.

Some people are morning larks and others are night owls. In all cases, when you are well rested you feel like you are at your best, physically and emotionally, and your energy arcs predictably throughout the day.

Signs that you are Well Rested

• You wake up easily at the alarm, or often, just minutes before the alarm.
• You don’t nod off during a boring call or meeting in the middle of the day.
• You don’t “need” a coffee to make it through the slow part of the workday.
• You feel relaxed and sleepy in the evening, but not completely drained.

Happier Baby Means a Happier You

Sleep Genius, the company behind the Advance Sleep Program recognized by NASA, is proud to announce the launch of a NEW sleep app designed to help infants, babies and toddlers get to sleep and stay asleep: Sleep Genius Baby.

Babies have very different brain patterns than children or adults. Over a decade of research by some of the world’s leading experts in neurodevelopment, child development, sound and music therapy has produced a sleep program for babies that not only helps them fall asleep, but actually enhances their brain development.

David Perlmutter, MD, author of “The Better Brain Book” remarks: “Sleep Genius Baby is an essential ingredient for improving a baby’s sleep and promoting the health and development of their language, learning and music ability.”

How It Works

Sleep Genius Baby surrounds your baby in a cocoon of soothing, peaceful sounds and helps block outside noise. Low sound frequencies and low tone densities help calm the baby’s body. While a progressively slower tempo helps quiet the baby’s mind.

The Sleep Genius Baby sleep programs engage nearly all areas of the baby’s brain, creating new neural connections critical for mental, physiological and emotional development. It stimulates brain plasticity and helps develop the auditory neuronetwork critical to a baby’s cognitive and language development.

The Best for Your Baby

Sleep Genius Baby is the only app currently available that leverages all of this research into proven programs that you can access with the swipe of your finger. Both the “Nap Time” and “Bed Time” features can be launched with a single tap, or fully configured to your requirements.

More Freedom for You

And when your baby gets to sleep faster and sleeps more deeply, that means more freedom for you. Every parent should have access to this simple yet powerful tool to help their baby nap during the day and fall asleep at night.

Both Sleep Genius Baby and Sleep Genius (for Mom and Dad) are available today in the iTunes App Store.
