## Full transcript of their video

Taken from the video's captions, recorded October 1, 2026. Lightly formatted into paragraphs; the words are as captioned.

Hi. I'm Hillary, this is Dorothy, and we joined Actually Sleeping two months ago. And since night four of joining, Dorothy has been sleeping through the night, and she currently sleeps ten and a half hours every single night, which is unreal to us. When we brought Dorothy home from the hospital, she was a little preemie, and they told us to not let her cry a lot because crying burns calories.

So needless to say, we were pretty reliant on sleep props from day one with Dorothy. This led to a little nine month old that was waking up every forty five minutes. And so the night before we started actually sleeping, she actually woke up 10 times, and that's for real. So we were ready to try something new and we were a little hesitant and didn't know if it actually worked for her because we felt like she was the anomaly or the outlier.

So despite skepticism, we gave it a shot. Working with Sam was great. She was quick responding and really helped us understand the process, not just tell us what to do. And Dorothy was sleeping by night four, which was incredible, and we're still blown away by it.

If you are on the fence about doing actually sleeping, we would say just do it. You will not regret it. You won't regret the sleep you're gonna get later and how great great it feels. Yeah.

Can't say enough good about them, and highly, highly, highly recommend them to get your baby sleeping. Say bye.
