## What changed, in their words

> “1000% better. We are all sleeping again. My husband and I are much more well rested and the baby is also much less fussy when he's awake. We are truly enjoying being parents again and not dreading bedtime.”Laura Shih & Tommy, Actually Sleeping client

## Would they recommend Actually Sleeping?

> “YES! It's so much more personalized than a book/pdf/chat gpt. Getting realtime feedback specialized to our baby made a huge difference to us. Getting through the first nap was hard but Sam's coaching had us so prepared. I'm convinced we would have "failed" without her program.”Laura Shih & Tommy

## Full transcript of their video

Taken from the video's captions, recorded September 17, 2026. Lightly formatted into paragraphs; the words are as captioned.

Before actually sleeping, we were really struggling with our son's sleep. We were spending hours every day rocking and patting him, trying to get him to sleep and stay asleep, and honestly, all three of us were exhausted. We had read about baby's sleep and knew there were plenty of books, PDFs, and other resources out there, but what we really needed was someone to keep us accountable and help us through it when things get hard. And the results with actually sleeping were honestly incredible.

He slept through the night on night number two. Life after actually sleeping is 1000% better. My husband and I are sleeping again. Our baby is so much less fussy during the day because he's actually well rested, and we're enjoying being parents again instead of spending the whole day dreading bedtime.

I would absolutely recommend actually sleeping. Having real time feedback that was specific to our babies made such a huge difference. That first night was definitely hard, but Sam had prepared us for what to expect and coached us through it. I'm honestly convinced we would have given up and said that sleep training didn't work if we hadn't had Sam and the Actually Sleeping program there to guide us through it.

It was absolutely worth the investment.
