Their words and video.

Since the results are guaranteed in writing, Actually Sleeping only takes on families it believes it can help, and it does say no to some. In this video, parents who suspected it was fake or a gimmick explain why they booked regardless, and how their babies were sleeping within the first nights. **Up at 3 a.m. reading this?** Tomorrow night does not have to look the same. Actually Sleeping writes a plan around your baby, coaches you thoroughly before night one so you start with confidence, and checks in with you 1:1 each day until your baby sleeps through, backed by a full-refund guarantee.

All her testimonials and her videos weren’t lying.” > “The consultation is free. You should at least give them a shot and just hear what they have to say.” > “Seriously, book the free consultation and get your baby sleeping right. Do not even question it.” > “And within twenty five minutes the first night, she ended up going to sleep on her own in her crib.” ## Why a hard sell feels likely In most businesses, a free consultation is there to close a deal. When you are worn out and already skeptical, it is natural to brace for pressure, a script, and a push to decide on the spot. The parents in this video were doubtful as well, and some assumed it was fake. One talks about hoping her family would be picked, since Actually Sleeping does not take every family. ## What really happens during the consultation It is a conversation in both directions about your baby: age, feeding, current way of falling asleep, what you have already tried, and how your days go. With the result guaranteed, the team gains nothing from enrolling a family it does not expect to succeed. Whether or not you go ahead, you finish with your questions answered. Price is tailored to your baby and set during the free consultation. Families who continue receive a custom plan from Dr. Sam, bootcamp-style coaching before night one, daily 1:1 check-ins and naps coached until they are solid, all backed by the guarantee: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.” A number of these parents say it was the reviews and videos that got them to book, and that the experience lived up to them. That is the reason Actually Sleeping shares 129 client video reviews for you to watch before deciding. ## More from client families All 129 client video reviews are on the [reviews page](https://actuallysleeping.net/reviews/).

Yes. It is free, with no obligation. On the call you talk through your baby’s sleep, ask what you want to know and hear what a plan would focus on. Price is tailored to your baby and set during the free consultation. Any price you see online is wrong. ### Will I be pushed to sign up? No. With the result backed by a full refund, the team only takes families it believes it can help, and it does decline some. Whether or not you work together, you leave with your questions answered. ### What should I prepare for the consultation? Have ready your baby’s age, how they fall asleep today, how often they wake, how they feed and what you have tried so far. If both parents handle nights, it helps to have both on the call so you each hear the reasoning.
