What parents who shared this worry told us
“I couldn’t have done this without the coaching support.”
“And Samantha will not leave you high and dry. She walks you through it the entire way.”
“She was quick responding and really helped us understand the process, not just tell us what to do.”
“Well, honestly, I didn’t think that I would need the emotional support or the encouragement as much.”
“The support is amazing, and I feel like if you have the support, you can do it.”
“Every time she says, it’ll get better in a couple days, and I’m like, will it? And it has every single time.”
Why going it alone feels daunting
A sleep plan is simple to read and difficult to stick to. The tough moments usually arrive when you are exhausted and not sure whether what you are seeing is normal. Parents whose partner travels, works long hours or is often away worry about shouldering everything by themselves.
In this video, parents explain how much the coaching and encouragement meant to them, sometimes far more than they had anticipated.
How we support you
Dr. Sam writes your plan. Ahead of night one, you receive bootcamp-style coaching that fully prepares you, so you feel confident, know precisely what to do at each moment and can make your own decisions overnight. From then on, 1:1 check-ins every day look at how things went, answer your questions and fine-tune the plan. Naps are coached until they are solid. The result comes with a 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.”
Parents whose partner was away, or who simply felt they lacked the capacity to manage alone, say the coaching is why it worked. At Actually Sleeping, support is part of the plan until naps are solid.

Common questions
Will someone be there with me overnight?
Coaching does not take place overnight. Instead, the bootcamp-style coaching ahead of night one prepares you so well that you know what to do at each moment and can make decisions by yourself. Then, 1:1 check-ins every day go over each night with you.
What do the daily check-ins involve?
You talk through how the night and the naps went, ask your questions, and have the plan adjusted to how your baby is responding. Families mention fast replies, clear explanations and encouragement.
My partner is often away. Can I manage this by myself?
Yes. Several parents in the reviews handled most nights alone. Dr. Sam builds the plan around your household, and the coaching ahead of night one prepares whoever handles bedtime to make decisions confidently.
