Kidsleep tells your kids 'go back to sleep'

I complain with the best of them about the long nights and dark mornings of winter, but secretly, I'm trying to savour them. Deep in my heart, I know that with the arrival of spring will come the return of very early mornings to our household - as soon as the sun begins to rise, so will my daughter. And that can mean four a.m.

This isn't a new problem, and neither is the Kidsleep a new solution: the similar Bunny Clock has been around for at least a generation.

But if you find that product's ever-cheery face rather grating, you might be glad to have a second option. As with the Bunny Clock, the Kidsleep simply allows you to preset a sanctioned getting up time. Clear pictures show the non-clock-reading child whether it is time to sleep or wake.

I'd be interested to hear if any of you have had success with this product or one like it. After all, the world is turning. Soon it will be spring.
