Now we put him in the crib awake and he falls asleep within one minute, through the night until 7:30 AM. It's a night and day difference — we're all more rested with way more energy for our son during the day.” _Would you recommend it?_ “100%. A well rested baby and parents make your whole day much more enjoyable. The results have been nothing short of amazing.” ### Mel H. & Matteo **2 Nights** · Matteo · 18 months — had lost hope in sleep training, didn't want to leave him crying > “It only took three nights for him to go to bed by himself, no crying. It changed our lives.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Definitely!!! It was easy to follow the plan and I didn't have to leave my baby crying for a crazy amount of time.” ### Lindsay C. & Emma **Night 1** · Emma · 14 months — sleep was getting worse every night, keeping mom out of her own bed and creating tension throughout the household > “On the first night she woke once and put herself back to sleep without us intervening. I don't dread bedtime anymore, Emma is so much happier, and I finally have time to prepare for the next day and feel like myself again.” _Would you recommend it?_ “I would — I've already been telling people at work how wonderful it has been. The coaching took out the guesswork and gave me accountability and encouragement.” ### Alex G. & Jade **1 Night** · 15 months old — hadn't slept in 14 months > “By the second night she fell asleep on her own within minutes. Sleeping through the night ever since.” _Would you recommend it?_ “100000%!!! Samantha and her team were there for us every step of the way… EVERY step.” ### Ieshia Cuspard & Dash **1 Weeks** · Dash · 2 years — waking every couple of hours and needing a parent beside him holding his hand just to fall asleep > “In about a week, everything took a complete 180. Now he's in bed from 8:30 PM to 7 AM, my husband and I have our alone time and date nights back, and everybody is happier.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Yes, because it's effective. It was an investment well spent, and I'm truly grateful.” ### Katie O. & Johnny **1 Week** · Johnny · 15 months — sleeping on the floor, tried books, ChatGPT, and friends' advice > “We tried everything. Now he's sleeping through the night and happier than ever because he's sleeping. And so are we!” _Would you recommend it?_ “Sam's coaching takes the clouded emotional judgment of a tired parent out of the equation.” ### Tatyana & Ezra **Night 1** · Ezra · 17 months — still waking 4-5 times a night after his parents had gone 17 months without a full night's sleep > “It took one night, and it wasn't even as hard as we had prepared for. We're finally sleeping and so well rested — we are over the moon with the results.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Absolutely. This is not cry-it-out; it's strategic, planned, and Samantha walks you through the entire process. It's the best money we've spent in a very long time.” ### Andrea & Claire **1 Night** · Claire · 17 months — was up 6-7 times a night > “Claire was up six, seven times a night. After one night she goes down at 8 PM and sleeps in her crib until 7 AM .

She still goes down like clockwork — I have my life back and feel like myself again.” _Would you recommend it?_ “I wish I started sooner. Sleep is such an important part of life and affects your mood as a parent.” ### Claire & Angie O. — Miles **Night 1** · Miles · 14.5 months — waking 1-4 times a night; his moms had tried many things but needed consistent, real-time professional coaching > “Literally on night one, Miles slept through the night. Over the next three to four weeks, he slept through about 95% of the time — and nearly two months later, the difference is still amazing.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Yes — and I already have to a whole bunch of people. We are also actually sleeping, getting rest, and have our evenings back. I would totally do it again.” ### Cassie R. & Kenai **4 Days** · Kenai · 14 months — co-sleeping, waking every two hours and using mom as a human pacifier after the family tried for over a year > “By the fourth day, he was sleeping on his own; by the fifth, he wanted to go to bed. Now he sleeps nearly 12 hours, points to his crib, and goes down without crying.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Yes. We're all sleeping through the night, our family is happier, and my husband and I finally have our evenings and marriage back.” ### Grace E. & Francis **4 Days** · Francis · 18 months — waking every two hours to nurse and following an inconsistent sleep routine > “Within four days he was sleeping through the night consistently while still breastfeeding during the day.

We are actually sleeping.” ### Leah S. & Ari **Night 2** · Ari · 2 years — needed mom or dad sitting in his room to fall asleep and after every night waking; parents were running on fumes > “On night one he fell asleep on his own and put himself back to sleep after every waking.

More than myself!” ### Jasmine R. & Layla **23 nights** · Layla · 15 months > “it really worked.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Yes, 1000 time because it actually works and I was completely shocked. Yeah the first day made me the first night will be rough and I really didn't believe it, but it wasn't even as rough as I thought it was gonna be and like it was so simple and easy and like they're just there with you every step of the way all their employees everything I just had an amazing experience.” ### Kay P. & Kamora **Night 1** · Kamora · 14 months — breastfed to sleep and all through the night while dad paced the floor to get her down > “I thought she was a stubborn, fights-to-the-end type of baby, but following the steps actually worked. She slept through the night on night one, and every night after that for 10 nights in a row.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Absolutely! The real proof was in my personal experience. Sam and her team have been amazing from the very beginning.” ### Ashley K. & Autumn **34 Days** · Autumn · 13 months — started at 12 months; rocked to sleep and up 3-4 times a night needing a bottle, while dad recovered from shoulder surgery > “Within three to four days she was sleeping through the night.

Sam has the knowledge and the encouragement to help get your baby sleeping and motivate you through the rough patches.” ### Kenzie E. — Noah & Harper **Night 1** · Noah · 5 years and Harper · 2 years — three years of co-sleeping; mom travels for work and dad often works night shifts > “Both were night one. We have hours back in the week, time together as a married couple, and evenings we no longer dread.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Yes! It works, you need someone to stand accountable to other than yourself and your spouse, and everyone in the house is sleeping better.” ### Molly & Nick C. — Alex **Easier bedtimes** · Alex · 2 years > “Life is so much easier! Bedtime used to be a major source of stress and could take hours, and now we have a short, predictable routine, put her in her crib around 8, and she falls asleep independently and sleeps through the night. We actually have our evenings back, we're all more rested, and most importantly, she seems so much happier and better rested too. It has genuinely changed the rhythm of our whole family for the better.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Absolutely. I would especially recommend it to a parent who feels like they've read all the advice and know what they're "supposed" to do, but are nervous to actually make the change. The personalized coaching, reassurance, and support gave us the confidence to follow through—and the results happened so much faster than we expected. We went from hours-long bedtimes to a happy, independent sleeper, and it has made such a difference for our entire family.” ### Jessica T. & Joey **3 Nights** · Joey · 23 months — had taken over the parents' bed; busy family with two teens at the ball fields > “Definitely skeptical when they said two to three days. Joey was sleeping within three nights and we have our bed back. They customized it to us and to our baby.” _Would you recommend it?_ “It worked. The detailed plan, the support, the accountability and honesty is what helped us sleep train our stubborn (and very smart) two-year-old.” ### Margo & Gideon **Night 1** · Gideon · almost 2 — waking 4–6 times a night, nursed back to sleep every time > “Night one he slept twelve hours. The best money we have spent in the last two years. I have 8 hours of my day back — it even got my 16-year-old going to bed on her own.” _Would you recommend it?_ “Absolutely. This program has given me back my life. If you're on the fence, just do it — it is honestly stupid easy.” ### Alyssa K. & Tallulah **Night 1** · Tallulah · 16 months — up an hour after bedtime and every 2–4 hours all night; full-time working mom > “After the first night she started sleeping through the night. She sleeps 8 PM to 6:30 AM every night. If we had known about it sooner, we would have done it a long time ago.” _Would you recommend it?_ “One million times over. If you want to enjoy your baby and your life again — this is the only way.” ### Taylor M. & Crew **Night 1** · Crew · 20 months — never a full night's sleep in 20 months, fell asleep on the bottle, screamed the second he touched the crib > “The first night was a little rough, but he slept about 10 hours — and 11 to 12 hours every night since, with a two-hour nap. He loves going to bed. He's a completely different baby.” _Would you recommend it?_ “I've already recommended Actually Sleeping to a few friends with newborns who are struggling with sleep.” Each excerpt comes from a client video review that Actually Sleeping has published; you can watch the full videos at [actuallysleeping.com/reviews](https://www.actuallysleeping.com/reviews/).
