Helps Families Get Better Sleep!

How does it work?

At bedtime, a soothing yellow night-light comforts children as they fall asleep. In the morning, it glows green when it's okay for children to get out of bed! If children wake up before the green light comes on, they know to go back to sleep or quietly play in their room until 'green means go!'

Why does it work?

Children enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a job well done. And, OK to Wake! is something that can be completed successfully every day! The clock also features a convenient nap timer and alarm clock with snooze!

Grows with your family!

Okay to Wake! feature is perfect for younger children. When they're ready for a little independence, they can use the alarm clock, just like grown-ups! And the included interactive game helps teach them analog and digital time!

Review this product

Share your thoughts with other customers

Customers say

Customers find the alarm clock effective for teaching time and appreciate its color-changing feature, with one customer noting it's particularly helpful for wake-up time. The clock helps improve sleep quality by allowing them to sleep in a bit, and one customer mentions it helped straighten out their child's sleeping schedule dramatically. The functionality and ease of use receive mixed feedback - while some say it works well and is easy to set, others report issues with the light functions not working and find the setup process time-consuming. The brightness and value for money also get mixed reviews, with some loving the bright night light feature while others find it too bright, and some consider it well worth the money while others feel it's a waste of money.

I KNOW THERE IS A GOD
5 out of 5 stars
I KNOW THERE IS A GOD
Where do I begin. Do I begin with my son feet being in my face from co sleeping. Do i start with the sleepless nights trying to breath while being smothered by the body of my 2 1/2 year old son. Do I begin with the constant struggle of trying to sleep by myself. THIS ALARM CLOCK/NIGHT LIGHT is a gift from god. I mean when I plugged this device in heavens gate opened up and the cutest little cherubs came and kissed me on my nose. I mean as soon as I plugged this device in heavens gate opened and emitted a sound so beautiful I new I would be sleeping like a baby from this point on I WAITED TO GIVE THIS REVIEW SO I COULD HAVE AT LEAST A COUPLE DAYS TO DETERMINE ITS WORTH. ITS WORTH For starters all functions work as they detail. I will note that getting that screw ff the back took some work. I mean it took me like 15-20 minutes before I gave up. I never got it off. My son ended up knocking it off and the back flew off. So that's how that worked out. Also SOMETHING TO POINT OUT: UNLESS the cord is plugged in the light on feature at bed time does not work. I THINK THAT IS REALLY CRAPPY BUT NOT SO BAD THAT I WOULD RETURN. I just wished the light stayed on with just the battery option. The alarm clock works like a charm. It is loud enough for me to hear in the other room. The packaging was nice as well. It wasn't anything special but it was protected. The first night I used the light I explained that when the light is yellow he can play in his room. when it turns green he must get in the bed and lie down. HE DID JUST THAT. Again, I heard the fluttering of angels as I was whisked away to some place that mommies sleep peacefully. The second night went just as well. EXCEPT I accidentally turned on the alarm clock and scared the peace out of my son sleep. (Bad on my part) The third night went just as well! HE HAS BEEN SLEEPING IN HIS OWN ROOM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS DEVICE. I AM MORE THAN SATISFIED AND HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDING IT TO EVERYONE. IF YOU BUY ONE THAT DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. BEAR WITH THE COMPANY BECAUSE EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES. ORDER A NEW ONE AND GET TO THE PEACEFUL SLEEPING.

    If you are parents of preschoolers/young children that is really the only qualification you need: buy this. Every Saturday morning, my husband and I would hope/dream that our kids would let us sleep in. Of course, this never happened. As soon as the sun came up Saturday morning, they'd be in bouncing on our bed - eliminating our one day of sleeping in. This clock SOLVED that. Flawlessly.

    Why it's awesome:
    - you can set it so that at a particular time in the morning it turns from yellow to GREEN (green means GO so NOW it's OK to go into Mommy and Daddy's room); this will protect your sleep on those rare mornings where you don't have to get out of bed
    - it has a digital readout as well as an analog readout so it helps them learn how to read time both ways
    - if you push a button, it SAYS the time so, again, they start to learn how to tell time
    - it has some time-telling games on it so they can learn that way too (but we haven't used these yet so I can't say much about those)

    The only drawbacks:
    - the battery compartment / housing for all the settings buttons doesn't have a screw in it so you can't, technically, keep little fingers out of the batteries and pushing buttons (we solved this by putting Scotch tape over it and threatening them with timeouts if we ever found the tape tampered with)
    - when it talks, it's a little loud (this may be adjustable - we haven't tried to figure that out yet)

    Highly, highly recommend this product. It's a little expensive for a clock but it works fantastic, is a learning experience for the little ones, and most importantly buys us 30 MORE PRECIOUS MINUTES of sleep every Saturday morning - and it can probably do the same for you!!!

    As a parent of four kids, the oldest being 4 yo, we have many methods to keep the kids asleep (or at least stay quietly in their rooms) until we're ready for them. They all like wake up before 6:00 AM! We use sound machines, rainbows, and other gadgets but this is the most critical device we have. Here's why we love it:

    - The sound alarm and the light settings are controlled separately. That means you can choose to have the lights but not the sounds at all, which is what we do.

    - The option to set yellow and green lights is helpful. For example, we have the clock light up yellow at 6:00 AM, light up green at 6:20, and turn off at 7:00. So if the child wakes up and there's no light, that means it's not even close to wake up time so go back to bed. If it's yellow, then they can choose to wait until it turns green or go back to bed. Obviously if it's green, they can come out of the room. Only once has a child slept past 7:00 so there was no light when he woke up.

    - The instructions are printed on the clock panel. It doesn't seem like a big deal but I had to reset these things every once in a while when the power went out and it's nice to know that I'll never need to refresh my memory by looking for a piece of paper in a drawer somewhere.

    - The dim feet lights can act as a night light. It's not bright but it's just enough to see around the room so no one walks into furniture.

    - It teaches time! They can push the buttons on the feet and the time will be recited to the child.

    - It comes with different color bezels. I know, who cares right? Well, my 3 you daughter cares and pink is her obvious choice over blue and yellow.

    If you have kids who wake up and start their day earlier than you'd like, this is the perfect tool to help prevent that. One day we may even use the alarm feature but for now, if they're sleeping, we don't want anything to wake them up.

    Handy little gadget for sure. What we like: It casts a nice, dim, yellow glow all night (disclaimer: my son was sleeping with every light in his room and the hallway on full blast, so my interpretation of "dim" may be different than yours) and it changes to a soothing green at the time you set it for. The operating buttons and instructions are much simpler than I thought they would be. Very clearly explained and laid out. It is cute, we like the interchangeable rings, and he can operate the game/talking features himself (he is 3). What I'm not a fan of: the voice is SUPER loud, even in "quiet mode," and kind of obnoxious. Very "Time and Temp" lady robot. I also wish the "Game" was a little more complicated than it is. All it does is show you a time which you are supposed to guess, and then when you press the button it tells you the answer. I mean, I guess a clock that has any game at all is pretty cool, but it's not so much a game as a time randomizer.
    Overall, we are happy with the purchase and recommend it to others. It was exactly what our son needed to stay in bed AND, for whatever reason, he decided it was the only nightlight he needed in his room. Wish we had gotten it $60 worth of rejected night-lights ago! Also, just a side-note: We got the clock because our son was coming into our room super-early saying he didn't know what time it was. Being 3, we wanted something that would keep him in his room til real live morning, and teach him what time that actually was. When we got the clock and played the "game," he blew through the first two levels, getting every single answer correct. The little %^%# can totally tell time. So this may be a fun device to find out if your kids are secretly hiding their genius from you ;)

    Reviewed in Canada on January 27, 2022
    Thrilled with this product. It’s allowed my spouse and I to get extra sleep as my child now knows that he can only crawl into our bed when the light is green. He’s also learning to tell time but truly the yellow nightlight glow and green light are the best features.

    2.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't light up without the powercord and my son ...
    Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2018
    It doesn't light up without the powercord and my son constantly plugged out the cord to play the "tell the time game" The problem is the cord broke within a month of having the product. Not very durable. I can't return the product and I can't see the face of the clock because it's so faint. Very disappointing.
