## Full transcript of their video

Taken from the video's captions, recorded October 26, 2026. Lightly formatted into paragraphs; the words are as captioned.

My name is Abby, and this is Ella. She is nine weeks, and we started the Actually Sleeping program when she was seven, almost eight weeks, and she slept through the night her very first night in the program. We joined actually sleeping because me and my husband were so tired of only having her sleep on us. We were doing shifts from nine from 9PM to 1AM.

He would take that shift, and then I would do 1AM until he got home the next day, and we were... Whoever had her was sleeping out on the couch. Then the other person would go inside the room, and they would get a good night's sleep for three, maybe four hours. My husband works in health care.

We just couldn't do it. We put up with it for seven or eight weeks, and that's why we decided to join. We had friends who recommended their program to us, and it was an instant click and an instant success. Now we put her down to bed at eight p.

M. And my husband and I get to reconnect and talk and hang out. And then we go to bed around 10:11 at night, and then she wakes up right at 08:00. And she got her first twelve hour stretch the other night, literally less than a week into the program, and now she sleeps consistently, maybe nine, ten hours a night.

And so we're really looking forward to the rest of the program, but it's already been phenomenal, and we highly recommend. We don't think that there is too soon of an age to start. I really was a little bit afraid of what the method would be like, but it really was so simple. It was really truly one night and done.

One night and done. She's done phenomenal. She's been a way happier baby. Before we couldn't even set her down, now she loves her play mat, her bouncer.

Loves just hanging out and looking at us. We really have a different baby, and we're only a week in. So we love Sam. We love actually sleeping, and Ella loves it too.
