The screen will change from awake Ollie to asleep Ollie with small stars around the outer edge, this will now count down to the ‘wake-up time previously set when the sun will come out. We hated the idea that our son had to stay in bed no matter what until the sun appears so the little children's story book that has that message in went straight in the bin! He was about 3 at the time and from that night onwards would do the same thing each time so unfortunately it didn't work for us. Getting your child to fall asleep and stay asleep is tricky and sleep problems like getting out of bed are unfortunately common.

Set the time using the up and down buttons – select the hour, press enter , select the minutes, press enter, select am or pm, press enter .

If you are not intending to use this product for day-time naps, set both night-time and day-time modes to the same ‘wake up’ time). You can also use it for naps if they’re still napping, or if they’re growing out of naps and you’re replacing the nap with quiet time then it’s perfect to indicate when your little one can continue playing quietly and then when they can get up.
