Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: I feel like I have already read and tried everything out there. What makes The Sleep Sense™ Program different?

    A: Good question!

    I think the reason that The Sleep Sense™ Program is so popular is because it's clear, simple, and easy to follow. Plus, it allows parents to choose one of two different approaches based on their child's temperament and personality.

    And – because I've been a professional sleep consultant for so long – I've pretty much "heard it all." Those years of experience have allowed me to anticipate just about every question that you (as a parent) might have about sleep training. I've made sure that the answers to those questions are clearly explained for you.

    If you're concerned that you've "read it all before;" and that you won't learn anything new with The Sleep Sense™ Program, my best advice to you is simply this: "Why not give it a try?"

    It's got a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee that's good for a full year. You're welcome to buy The Sleep Sense™ Program, have a look through it, and then (if you decide it's not right for you) ask for your payment to be refunded.

  • Q:Is The Sleep Sense™ Program a version of the "Cry-It-Out" (CIO) method?

    A: No.
    The "cry-it-out" method works like this: Step 1: Put child to bed. Step 2: Walk away. Step 3: Let child scream, cry, howl etc. until child is asleep.

    Now, while the CIO method does work, most parents simply aren't comfortable with it. I don't think a parent's brain is “wired” to listen to the hysterical crying of their child without doing something to comfort them!

    That being said, you should make peace with the fact that your child will probably cry during the process. After all, babies can't say things like “Hey, I actually preferred it when you were nursing me to sleep four times a night… Can we go back to that system?” Instead, they cry!

    If you’re interested in taking a look at the information and seeing if it is for you, I'd encourage you to place an order, read through The Sleep Sense™ Program and make your decision based on what you read. If you’re uncomfortable with the approach for ANY reason, I offer a no-questions-asked guarantee.

    NOTE: If you already know that you simply cannot (or will not) tolerate ANY amount of crying (not even for a minute or two), then The Sleep Sense™ Program isn't going to be right for you.

  • Q:My child is no longer a baby. Is The Sleep Sense™ Program appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers?

    A: Yes, there is an entire section of The Sleep Sense Program dedicated to dealing with older children. And the good news is that, when you're dealing with older children, you can make use of incentives like reward charts!

  • Q:I have twins/triplets. Will The Sleep Sense™ Program work for me?

    A: Absolutely! I've included a lengthy section on sleep training twins, trips, and multiples. It's a little more work (isn't EVERYTHING when you have multiples?) but it's 100% doable! You'll find some testimonials from parents of multiples in my "Success Stories" page, which you can find by clicking here.

  • Q:I share a room with my child. Will The Sleep Sense™ Program work for me?

    A: Yes. If you're sharing a room with your child, a great strategy is to set up a partition or divider of some kind between you and your child for the first little while. (This can be as simple as hanging a sheet over a clothesline.)

    Once your child is sleeping well through the night, you can remove the divider (if you choose).

  • Q:I need to get in touch with customer service… What do I do?
