We already tried sleep training. Will Actually Sleeping be any different?
Many Actually Sleeping families had tried sleep training before, often with a first child, using books, online programs or gentle methods. In this video they explain what was different: a plan written for this baby by Dr. Sam, coaching before night one, and daily 1:1 check-ins. Several describe sleeping through within a few nights, backed by a written guarantee with a full refund.
What parents who had this worry say
“I really joined because I had a really terrible experience with my first sleep training.”
“Second night of the program, he slept all the way through the night and has ever since then.”
“I tried gentle sleep training with my first and just nothing worked, and I kind of just gave up.”
“We have a baby that is sleeping eleven hours a night now.”
“And neither one of those worked. She was still not sleeping by herself. And it only took her three nights.”
“This literally clicked within one single night.”
Why a failed attempt makes parents wary
A sleep training attempt that went badly is hard to forget. Parents remember the long nights, the crying that went nowhere, and the feeling of giving up. It is reasonable to expect the same thing again.
When parents in this video looked back, the earlier attempts had something in common. They followed a method written for an average baby, with nobody to tell them what to change when their baby did something the book did not cover.
What Actually Sleeping does differently
Dr. Sam starts from what you already tried and how your baby reacted, then writes a plan for this baby. Bootcamp-style coaching before night one prepares you so you are confident and know what to do at every point in the night. After that, daily 1:1 check-ins catch anything that needs adjusting within a day, and naps are coached until solid. It is not cry it out and not wait it out.
The result is guaranteed: “We guarantee that your baby will sleep 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days of consistent, correct implementation of your sleep plan.” If not, you get a full refund.

Frequently asked
Will it be the same method we already tried?
No. Actually Sleeping does not hand you a generic method. Dr. Sam writes a plan for your baby, using what you already tried and how your baby responded. It is not cry it out and not wait it out, and daily 1:1 check-ins adjust the plan as your baby responds.
Our first child never responded to sleep training. Will our second?
Several parents in this video had exactly that experience with a first child, and describe their next baby sleeping through within the first nights with Actually Sleeping. Every baby gets their own plan, written by Dr. Sam, and the result is guaranteed in writing.
What if we give up again partway through?
That is why the coaching happens before night one. You go in knowing what to do at every moment, and daily 1:1 check-ins mean you report to a real person each day, who tells you what to keep and what to change.
