Skip HopDream and Shine Sleep Trainer Nightlight, Multicolour

The night I found my 5yo daughter watching late night poker at 2.30am was the moment I realised I needed something to help her know when it was really time to get up. So we got one for my daughters' room, one for my son's. My kids are 6,5 and 3 and all know how the lighting system works. I've been gradually putting the 'wake time' back by a few minutes and now they all stay in bed until 7am. It's wonderful. I did have to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to set it - the instructions certainly weren't clear. But now it's all working perfectly, looks gorgeous in their bedrooms, and keeps the house quiet and peaceful until the morning.

Works like a dream!!!We bought this in desperation to keep our 2 year old in bed past 5am and it works brilliantly! We previously tried a gro clock but the blue light kept her awake at night. This has no light in the night and she loves the traffic light system it has - red for bedtime, yellow and green for getting up. It was easy to set up once to realise you have to hold the mode button to set. Can finally get some decent sleep!!!

Really disappointed, a poorly thought out product. Although it looks nice, it doesn’t function as a nightlight as it turns off after 20minutes. I was expecting it to stay on all night to help my child sleep and to indicate that it was still nighttime. I will try and return as it’s pointless.

It’s a nice light, but the functionality as a sleep trainer / nightlight is poorly thought through. In fact I would say it is fairly useless as a sleep trainer.Pros : Attractive looking light, sturdy and well built. The night time light colours are a nice soothing red and orange - not disruptive blue light.Cons : Once the red ‘go to bed’ light has turned off after its allotted program time you cannot switch it back on again casually. So if you switched the cloud back on, it would be orange - this is confusing for my little one. I think you should be able to program when the light is red - so whenever it gets switched on between 8pm-6am you can say “look the cloud is red”. I also think to help this concept, the cloud should have a feature to stay red all night to help explain during wake ups that is still sleepy time. Sounds like the Gro-clock covers this functionality far better.Switching the light on ad-hoc (not on a programme) is done by hitting the sun. But it prioritises the white noise setting which is ANNOYING as I am sure most of us have bought this primarily as a nightlight. So first press turns on the sound, second press turns on the light. It’s hard work for a little one who just wants their light on. You can disable the white noise by setting the volume to 0.The morning wake setting isn't that gentle or gradual. It could be much improved. Also, my son sleeps through the wake up programme so it is again fairly useless.Setting the programs is fiddly AF. It’s not hard, it is just fiddly and irritating.Overall, i think it is a very cute light but its useless at convincing a wakeful 2.5 year old at 3am that it is definitely still bedtime due to its inconsistencies. The product seems to try and cover too many bases at once (trainer, white noise unit, nightlight) without doing any of them well.

This is a lovely product I just wish I had read the reviews instead of the description.It’s not a night light at all.I was hoping for something that wasn’t a blue light that would stay on all night so my little bit would know it’s not time to get up.The light only stays on for 20 mins so useless for that function. Should be advertised as a lullaby for bed time and an alarm clock. It’s not a sleep trainer or nightlight as doesn’t help if child wakes up isn’t he middle of the night as no light is on.Shame as it’s gorgeous and I really wanted a plug in with cord which it has.

My daughter has never slept. Since she was born she has rarely slept more than 8-10 hours a day and initially this used to consist of 4, 2 hour naps. "But newborns need 16+ hours sleep" Yeah, we thought that too!Unless you genuinely have a child who doesn't sleep, I honestly don't care for your advice. You do not understand and it's not that we've not tried - EVERYTHING!Anyway, on the advice of one of the sleep specialists we saw, she recommended a clock light thing. We couldn't get the one she recommended so went for this instead.Has my daughter's sleep improved? Sure, at 18 months we now have a 1 hour nap and 7 hours straight at night (she's 95% height, 50% weight so growing fine) and Mr Cloud is a solid part of our routine. I can't guarantee this will work for you, however, if you're trying sleep training with a child, 'Mr Cloud' has been pretty helpful for us.

I was skeptical at first as I have two year old twins who do not like to go to sleep these days. Although we are not in the sleep training stage with setting times to sleep and wake, they love the nightlight and music to the point that we may need another one so they each have one! Overall, sweet nightlight, music lasts only a short time so parents do not have to hear this through the night as well and my kids have really improved their sleeping with this.

The first one we bought simply didn't work. The light and music came on when we pressed the sun, but never at pre-set times. We ordered a replacement, which worked brilliantly at first. It immediately stopped the problem of our child waking us throughout the night to ask if it was morning yet. As an unexpected bonus, she also hurried into her pyjamas and to bed as soon as the red light came on! HOWEVER, 2 months on, and the music has started coming on by itself - not at the pre-set 'Wake' time, but usually 1-2 hours beforehand. No light, just the music. Sometimes she will sleep through it, but other times it wakes her up. Now we're outside the return period, and I'm reluctant to buy another one as this is now the second faulty unit.

It took some getting used to at first (not shocking). It turns yellow BEFORE it turns green in the morning and those colors can be a little confusing to differentiate for a toddler. Not that my toddler doesn't know his colors, but I'd bet if you took a poll amongst adults who had never seen either of the colors there would be many answers that were off. They are just a little too close in color for them to mean 2 very different things for the purpose of this clock! Now, we still LOVE IT. But that is worth mentioning. Yellow means it's 'almost' time to get up (it turns this color wayyy before the waking time that you set). At first, he was getting up when the clock turned yellow, because he was thinking it was green and time to get up. But after he saw the differences enough times and he learned that there would also be a song to play when it was time to wake, he got the hang of it. He loves it and I love it even more! Finally he is out of the rut of waking up super early every morning and will sleep in later now! He also loves when it turns red and he races to get to bed when it let's him know it's almost bedtime! Amazing, especially for the price compared to the others that display and actual time (that my 3 year old would not be using anytime soon). So it was perfect for us to have a better sleep routine! My mom even bought one for her house for when he says the night there!
