GoodNiteLite: For the love of God, let me sleep… oh
by John Biggs on September 29, 2008

This odd nightlight is actually quite interesting. You set the “wake-up” time on this thing and plug it in in your kid’s room. You then explain to Junior that when the sleepy moon is shining it’s time to sleep. Then, when it’s time to wake, happy sunshine face lights up and you say it’s time to get up and bother you. This is a great tool for young kids who might not understand a clock face or “Go to bed, it’s 4am.”

Children rapidly come to associate the dim unobtrusive moon image with the knowledge that it is still bedtime and they should go back to sleep. At the time you choose in the morning, the Good Nite Lite will brighten and display a cheerful “Sun” caricature letting the child know that is time to wake up and permissible to get out of bed and start the days activities. During the day, the Good Nite Lite automatically shuts itself off to eliminate any distractions and to conserve energy.

They’ll be available next month for an undisclosed amount.

  • My son doesn’t know “day” or “night” yet.

    However, he does know “hot” and “dark”.

    (We live in San Antonio, TX. Please,please,please, Mother Nature. Enough with the 95+ degree days.)

  • That would be a good product if it didn’t look so creepy. I wouldn’t want this face looking at me all night. Now, if they removed the face…

  • Bassem B. why is that face creepy? Your kid is only going to think its creepy if you act like it is. Whata joke.

    I think this is a great idea. Unless my son is really tired he’ll wake up at 6am and come to my room. Now, 6am is actually sleeping in for me since during the week I have to get up at 430am. But one more hour on the weekends would be nice. I dont know if its worth $35 though. I recently purchased a $10 color changing alarm for this very same purpose, I’m going to try that first.
