Oyaco Products Inc.: New Gro-clock Product Encourages Children to Sleep In
Kids and parents need more sleep
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/04/11 -- Prepare yourselves parents: you may just get to sleep in next weekend. A new product from UK-based baby products innovator empowers the early risers in your home to stay in bed just a little longer, enabling everyone in the family to get the much-needed rest they need.
Instead of a typical clock face, The sleep clock uses fun images of the stars and sun to communicate when to go back to sleep and when it's time to get up. Parents set the clock to display a cheerful smiley sun at progressively later times of morning, training the child to get up only once they "see the sun". The clock, which functions as a sleep trainer, comes with a beautifully illustrated book, which helps to encourage children to stay in bed longer. The clock also features an optional digital clock display to accompany the stars to sun countdown.
According to Narda Simpson, president of , the Canadian distributor of the , sleep tends to be THE hot issue for parents, from newborn on up.

Research also shows that there are consequences to this lack of sleep. Results from a by the University of Alabama at Birmingham last month showed that sleep deprivation negatively effects children's memory, judgment, attention span, emotional stability and even immunity.
"It's no wonder sleep products are so in demand by parents across Canada," said Simpson. carries over half a dozen products directly related to sleep including the , (to help parents create the optimal room temperature for baby, and the (a sleep sac designed to keep baby safe and warm all night long without a tangle of blankets).
