ELO My Storytime Pillow

Get ELO and start enjoying better bedtimes.

ELO My Storytime Pillow is a wonderful tool for our nighttime routine. ELO is the doctor-endorsed bedtime system that plays children’s stories and soothing sounds as your child lies down for bed.  I had childhood insomnia so when Brooke insists she can’t sleep, I completely relate to her and want to help her find ways to relax and wind down.  While Brooke would eventually go to sleep on her own, some nights would take hours for her to feel ready for bed after trying every relaxing trick I knew!  I was concerned that she would be exhausted at school and I felt like if she could just put her head on her pillow and close her eyes, she would be able to drift off to sleep.  It seems so simple, but that was what was making things hard; she couldn’t relax while sitting still and closing her eyes.  Starting a whole new school with a new routine was keeping her awake, which meant keeping Bob and I awake.  We all needed some rest and relaxation and the ELA My Storytime Pillow has been able to give all of us some peace of mind and some peace and quiet!

We have a simple wind down nighttime routine with the girls.  Dinner, bath, pajamas, stories and bed.  It pretty much has gone without a hitch with Brooke until a few months ago.  She began to get up, insist she wasn’t tired and we’d have to lure her back to sleep with more stories, music and even her own reading/coloring until she could go to sleep.  While it seemed things might improve, they actually started to get worse as we inched closer to Kindergarten.  I started talking her through some biofeedback methods (your entire body is getting sleepy…etc…) and that would work about half the nights she couldn’t get to bed.  As any parent who needs sleep (which may be all of them?) I thought, “There has to be something that helps out there that I don’t know about!” and I was right.  ELO My Storytime Pillow was a product tried out of desperation and one that has proven its worth.  It is tough to put a price on a good evening of quiet, rest, and relaxation and I am convinced that the ELO pillow has helped Brooke tremendously.

The ELO My Storytime Pillow is actually a simple concept to implement if your child is having issues going to sleep.  The pillow ‘reads’ popular children’s books to your child as they drift off to sleep.  Sometimes Brooke just wants to hear a voice or think of stories to help her go to sleep and the pillow has been a great asset for us.  It’s simple to download new and fun stories from the ELO Online SleepLists and there are a lot of wonderful books to choose.  The pillow will read through an entire SleepList when your child’s head is on the pillow and will automatically turn off if the child’s head comes off the pillow.  We still do our nightly read aloud stories and the pillow is just an added bonus of stories for Brooke to help her go to bed.  It has been a huge help, Brooke loves the stories, and it is a nice and healthy distraction to help her clear her mind and drift off to dreamland.  I so wish I had one of these pillows when I was little!
