Sleep Trainer Clocks

Clocks that help with little early risers

You decide when morning comes to your house, not your little one! If you think a reasonable start to the day is 6.30am, then ensure that your actions and behaviour consistently demonstrate this to your toddler. Easier said than done, right?

Sleep Trainer Clocks like the Yogasleep Light to Rise or the Tommee Tippee USB Groclock are tools to help you in your mission to help your little one stay in bed longer and give you extra time in bed.

All sleep trainer clocks are designed to let toddlers and preschoolers know when it's time to sleep and when to get up and wake. They do this by displaying the time through a series of pictures, lights or colours, rather than traditional watch faces or alarm clocks with numbers, hands or noises, which can be tricky to learn at a young age and harder to understand.

There are many sleep trainer clock options available but for our range, we have chosen the most reliable, proven and durable options we have come across from over 15 years of customer feedback and returns. Our range includes the Yogasleep Light to Rise, which is also a sound machine and nightlight, the Tommee Tippee USB Groclock Sleep Trainer plus other styles including the Oricom Trainer Bunny Clock. Sleep trainer clocks are available at The Sleep Store and are in stock at our warehouse, available for prompt dispatch and backed by our award-winning customer service and returns policy.

It's good to note we don't recommend using a trainer clock much before the age of 2. Much younger than that and they will likely not understand, though they may still enjoy the sun going to sleep and the stars coming out as part of their bedtime routine and you could try our other early waking suggestions (linked below).

Choosing & Using a Sleep Trainer Clock

Children waking too early in the morning is a problem for the whole family. When children don’t get enough sleep overnight, they will be grumpy during the day. And when parents get woken up too early....it is harder to cope with grizzly children! Unless you take action to teach your children to sleep in later in the morning, this vicious cycle can become a very firm habit.

Adjusting to and from daylight saving time

Newborn babies are usually not affected by the start or finish of Daylight Saving. However, older babies and children can be affected for a week or two and you may have an overtired little one on your hands as a result. It's the combination of a change to their body clock and also that they find it harder to fall asleep when it's still light outside!

Early Waking Suggestions

One of the most common sleep problems we encounter is early waking...... Mums and dads just don't want to get woken up at 5.30am every day! Elizabeth Pantley (author of the No Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers) says in her article on our website, some children really are larks and will always wake earlier than you would like. But many toddlers wake from habit and from parents inadvertently reinforcing the early waking....by letting the child in for a cuddle, making them a bottle etc etc.
