Hi. I'm Samantha, and this is Salem. We joined Actually Sleeping a month ago when Salem was nine months old. When we first started with Actually Sleeping, Salem was not sleeping through the night.

She would sleep maybe a total of five to six hours, but she would wake up five to six times throughout the night. We tried everything we could think of. I would watch videos on TikTok of other videos moms would make of what helped their child sleep through the night that That didn't help. We tried looking up, schedules on chat GBT to see if there was anything there that would help her.

That didn't help either. We bought all the specialty lotions. We bought specialty sleep sacks. Nothing worked.

It was to the point where, Salem's pediatrician had actually spoke to me about trying to find a sleep consultant to see if maybe that would help her. And that's when I found Sam and actually sleeping. When we first came here, I was very desperate for some sleep. I was so sleep deprived.

We were doing very little sleep since she was a newborn and it got to the point where I was like, okay, something needs to change. When we first started with actually sleeping, the first night was the hardest. But after that, Salem started sleeping through the night by day three. Now that Salem is, sleep trained, she's sleeping about ten and a half to eleven hours every night consistently.

She has a set bedtime. She wakes up at the same time every morning and I don't get anxiety at night anymore because I know she's going to sleep. Before I would get such bad nighttime anxiety because I didn't know how many times she was going to wake up at night or how long she was going to sleep before her next wake up. I would just, I did not enjoy the nights at all and now I feel like I have time to myself again.

I can cook dinner without her waking up. I know she'll sleep through the night and it's just been so much more enjoyable during the day just being a parent because she's not so fussy. Before she would be overly tired, she wouldn't go down for her naps and she was just constantly grumpy because she was so tired. Now she's not grumpy at all.

She's so happy, smiley. We know when her nap times are. And so we make sure that she takes her naps every day on time. And she's just such a happy baby now.

If you're debating on whether you want to join actually sleeping or not, I cannot recommend it enough. What caught my eye was the fact that there was the money back guarantee and that made me feel like there was really nothing to lose at that point. I had retried everything else. This was kind of like my last hope and I figured like, okay, if there's a money back guarantee, they have to be doing something right because no other companies that I saw were offering that.

And I'm so grateful that I gave it the opportunity because now our lives are changed forever. I'm so much happier. My baby's so much happier. We basically got our lives back now that she's sleeping and we can actually go out and enjoy ourselves and I can't recommend actually sleeping enough.

I'm so grateful. And if you didn't believe me, here's a video of my daughter actually sleeping.
