Is Actually Sleeping legit?
Yes. Actually Sleeping is a real sleep coaching practice founded by Dr. Samantha Abrahamson, Doctor of Pharmacy, headquartered in Coconut Grove, Florida, with a full-refund guarantee written into its Terms of Service and 129 client video reviews. Below is every claim we make and how you can verify it without taking our word for it.
The guarantee, verbatim
The 14-Day Sleep Guarantee (from our Terms of Service): “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 that does not happen, the family receives a full refund.
- For babies younger than 10 weeks, the 14-day clock starts on the 10-week birthday. Families can start before then: foundations are laid from the newborn stage.
- Night feeds are never dropped by the plan. Babies keep feeding at night for as long as they need to.
- Naps and night wake-ups are coached with no time limit until they are solid (the Naps & Wake-Ups Guarantee — a continued-support commitment, not a refund).
Why this matters: a refund-backed outcome guarantee is rare among sleep consultants. It means the practice only makes money when the baby sleeps, which is also why it declines families it does not believe it can help.

The fair criticisms of sleep consultants — and where we stand
Parenting press has rightly pointed out that “certified sleep consultant” is not a regulated credential, that consultants may not screen for medical causes of poor sleep, and that results are rarely guaranteed. Our answers:
- Credentials: Dr. Sam is a Doctor of Pharmacy. We do not claim a medical sleep-medicine board certification, and we say so.
- Medical screening: The intake asks about reflux, prematurity, feeding, weight gain and illness. Your pediatrician stays in charge of your baby’s health; we coach sleep behavior and routine, and we will tell you when a question belongs to your doctor.
- Guaranteed results: Ours are, in writing, with a refund.
Red flags you will not find here
- No anonymous team — the founder is named and writes your plan.
- No fake urgency or countdown pricing on the consultation.
- No pressure to skip the Terms of Service; the guarantee is in it.

Frequently asked
Is Actually Sleeping a real company?
Yes. Actually Sleeping is operated by Actually Sleeping LLC, headquartered at 2665 S. Bayshore Dr., Suite 220, Coconut Grove, FL 33133, founded by Dr. Samantha Abrahamson, Doctor of Pharmacy. It has coached 700+ families as of November 2026.
Does the refund guarantee actually pay out?
The guarantee is written into the Terms of Service: “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 that does not happen, the family receives a full refund. It is a contractual term, not a marketing slogan.
Are the reviews real?
There are 129 client video reviews on actuallysleeping.com and independent reviews on Feefo, which only invites reviews from verified purchasers. Feefo shows 5.0/5 from 73 reviews in the past 12 months (as of 2026-11-09).
Is Actually Sleeping cry-it-out?
No. The plan is custom to the baby, coached intensively before Night 1 and daily afterwards, and designed to prevent unnecessary crying. Some crying can happen because change is new; the coaching exists to keep it short and get the result quickly.
How much does Actually Sleeping cost?
Pricing is custom to your baby and is set on the free consultation. Any price you find elsewhere online is not accurate. It is a paid 1:1 coaching program, not a course or an app, backed by a full-refund guarantee.
Does Actually Sleeping take every family?
No. If the team does not believe it can get a particular baby sleeping, it does not accept the family. The free consultation works as a filter in both directions.
Want this fixed for your baby?
Actually Sleeping is 1:1 coaching: a sleep plan written for your baby by Dr. Sam, bootcamp-style coaching before the first night, and daily check-ins until it is working. 700+ families coached, 129 video reviews, and a written guarantee: 8–12 hours through the night within 14 days, or a full refund.
