How I Get Great Sleep With 5 Children Who Share a Room!
Welcome back, friends! Today, I’m sharing a life changing tool we’ve implemented into our household for a great night’s sleep. If you don’t know already, we have 4 of our 5 young children sharing a room since the beginning, and to say “that’s where the party’s at” is an understatement! Although we’ve trained them to stay in their room at night time and during the early morning hours, their loud singing, happy shouts, and sweet conversations often kept us up. However, all that changed once we purchased My Good Morning Buddy digital alarm clock! I hope sharing about this amazing device gives you and your family the same rest and peace that it’s gifted to us! (This post is not sponsored…My husband and I just love good sleep, and feel it’s our duty to share this tool with the rest of the sleep-deprived world, haha!)
To clarify, this toddler sleep training clock is incredible for encouraging kids to STAY IN BED, and to STAY QUIET so that you and your spouse can get more sleep!

What is it?
My Good Morning Buddy stay-in-bed clock for kids changes colors so your young children can easily tell when it’s time to go to sleep, wake up, get out of bed, be quiet, and start speaking. My husband and I were shocked when all four of our children who share a room, ages 2-7, went from yapping and yapping to complete silence once the clock changed red! We’ve been getting longer sleep in the mornings because our children won’t talk, or get out of bed until the clock turns green. I still remember my husband and I getting all giddy the moment we realized how much better we would be sleeping!
How does it work?
It’s soft changing LED lights turn from WHITE (You can talk), to RED (Don’t talk/get out of bed), to YELLOW (It’s almost time to talk/get out of bed), to GREEN (You can talk/get out of bed!) We love how the soft light does NOT disrupt our children’s sleep, but also functions as a night light! Win-win! The settings are also very easy to control with a display showcasing the current time, as well as the time for sleeping and waking. Additional features include a nap time countdown and a 2 sound level speaker!
What does it include?
Good Morning Buddy training clock has different bundle options as seen in the links above! You can either solely purchase the clock, which includes a story book for your children to enjoy before bed, and a 2 week reward chart to motivate, and get them excited, OR you can purchase the clock with different reward chart options including one that lights up for extra added fun!
NOTE: We solely purchased the clock, did not use the story book, or chart, and STILL by the second night ALL of our children started consistently going to sleep like clockwork! (Occasionally, our 2 year old may slip a word, or two after the light goes red, but she usually follows the rest of her older sibling’s example, and can’t break their focus!)
It comes with a DC port and adapter, and includes a battery powered backup so your settings will be saved should your toddler pull the cord out of the outlet which, *cough cough, may likely happen. It includes a usb cord, and is also battery operated. We are bringing it with us on our next vacation, and any night away from home for that matter, to ensure a consistent great night’s sleep for the whole family! We just can’t rave about it, or the success we’ve had with it enough!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my secret to great sleep with toddlers…and especially toddlers who share a room! As a mother of five young children, this alarm clock has added countless hours to our family’s sleep, and that proper rest has made us better parents! (Can you see why I believe every friend of mine, and fellow parent needs one?) Happy snoozing to you and yours!
