Moshi Kids: Sleep, Relax, Play

I am a 70 year old who has had trouble sleeping for years. I have tried many things, including nature sounds, music and stories besides bedtime habits, reading, etc. I tried Moshi Twilight by mistake and have found it amazingly helpful. The stories are cute but not so interesting that they keep me alert (or irritated). I love the music attached to the Sleep Stories, and sometimes I switch to Music only or to Meditation. There is a library of items and I can relisten to a favorite or randomly select an old one. I enjoy new selections as they come along and may or may not like them. I use the app when needed at bedtime or when I wake up in the middle of the night. I have a wireless headband with speakers that connects to Bluetooth so it won’t bother my husband. Previous sleep “fixes” have helped me for temporarily, but Moshi has been working for 6 months. It helps me fall asleep probably 90% of the time. I am a little embarrassed that this is a product for children, but am so glad I have found it! I often have difficulty understanding the words in the songs, which bothers me (I guess I sing along in my head). The support staff have been very helpful with supplying the missing words. I don’t have little ones that I am putting to sleep, but I wholeheartedly recommend this for adults! Others may also find it just perfect.

Listen ya’ll, this is a game-changer. I was apprehensive about this app, but it’s working for us. My four-year-old daughter is so difficult at night. She has boundless energy and every night it’s a battle of the wills to get her to go to sleep. Some nights it’s so bad that my husband and I tag-team. “I give up, it’s your turn to try.” We have tried reading to her, singing to her, doing a routine; but it’s always a struggle. Then, one day I saw an add for for Moshi as I was searching for a recipe or something, I don’t remember. Okay, I was probably on Facebook watching a video of otters swimming or something- Not thinking about what to feed my family. I thought, “meh, free trial for bedtime stories, why not? I’ll give it a whirl.” So, I turned it on for the tornado child that night and I kid you not, she drifted off within ten minutes! The second night she said she didn’t like it, but she still listened and it only took fifteen minutes. The third night I let her pick the story and it only took six minutes for her to drift off! We’re on night five of shorter, easier bedtimes! Sold!

We have a four year old who has struggled with sleep from day one. Her energy and personality are bright during the day - and so hard for her to turn off at night. For the last 2+ years, a parent had to be in the room for her to be able to calm down enough to sleep. We eventually used melatonin (with her pediatrician’s blessing!) because her inability to sleep was leading to behavior problems during the day (and before someone blames our parenting - we have a rock solid bedtime routine, and our younger daughter has NEVER had problems sleeping). During my pregnancy with my younger daughter I often listened to Hypnobabies tracks while falling asleep, and loved how calm and relaxed they made me feel. I wondered if something similar would help my big kid fall asleep by herself. Enter Moshi Twilight. From the first night, she loved it. Picking out her “sleep story” is now something she looks forward to every night. And the best part? We don’t have to stay in her room for hours rubbing her back to help her fall asleep! We’re not using melatonin any more, and her behavior is better during the day. Thank you Moshi!!

Bedtime is an issue with my three year old. She has trouble winding down at night. She quit naps at 18 months mostly because I was so tired of fighting her to sleep. Hours upon hours of tears and books and cuddles and begging her to go to sleep. All for her to wake up early the next day, tired because she didn’t get enough sleep. I was always against medications, even natural ones like melatonin. I didn’t want her to become dependent on it. But after years of struggling I began to contemplate whether I should or not. I have had this App for two days. And both nights she was out within 15-20 minutes. I can hardly believe it. I know it’s only been two days but I could seriously cry...I am a huge skeptic with absolutely everything. I was skeptical about this. Even after seeing all of the amazing reviews. I didn’t think it would work for us but I was absolutely desperate. And turns out it did. Better than I could have imagined. I’ll update this in a few months to let you know if it kept working. But for these past two nights....wow. Thank you so much!!!

This is a great resource for bedtime. My four year old daughter loves getting to scroll through the moshi stories and pick which one she wants to go to sleep with. They are very effective and I feel like they help her go to sleep more quickly and stay asleep more soundly. I myself will often turn on the music options when we go to bed. I also love that they add new content on a fairly regular basis- especially since this is a subscription. My only down side is that some of the narrators are a little too energetic and loud in their delivery. This actually makes it harder to go to sleep than easier and if I am utilizing the loop option, which we often do, then when the story starts over and the volume automatics increases plus the narrator comes in with a big enthusiastic voice, it reverses any progress we’ve made towards sleep. My daughter prefers the female narrators, as they are more soothing for bedtime, unfortunately the last 3-5 new stories that have been released are all men. She wanted me to ask if we could get another girl one soon :)... thank you! Wonderful app.
