You hear your kid scream in the middle of the night, which made you sprint from your room to his, all because of a nightmare. Struggling with nightmares can be stressful, but it's quite fortunate that the Sleep Guardian Plus is around to wake kids up 10 minutes before their dream turns into a horrifying nightmare.
According to Yahoo News, the Sleep Guardian Plus, is a small device designed by Lully, which can detect a child's sleeping pattern, thereby making gentle vibrations to wake the kid up, just enough to rouse him from an impending nightmare.
This will partially awaken the child, but will allow him to sleep soundly again without any issue. This is a far cry from the child who wakes up screaming and one who wouldn't go back to sleep without you comforting or sleeping in his bedroom.
The device is small, which can be placed underneath the child's mattress. It is sensitive enough to track the sleep patterns of children. It can also help determine the various ambient factors that are possible triggers of nightmares. According to a report by Digital Trends, among the children who used the Sleep Guardian Plus for four weeks, 80 percent had fewer nightmares.
For parents who worry that their kids might not be getting enough sleep, there isn't such thing to worry about. Based on sleep studies conducted on children, these little ones have higher "sleep pressure" vis-à-vis adults. This is why they can return to a deep sleep even with partial stirring at night.
The creator of the device, aside from reducing the number of nightmares of children, also hopes that it could help kids to better function during daytime. Lully also envisions that the Sleep Guardian Plus can reduce the drowsiness that kids normally feel during daytime whenever they lacked sleep the night before.
