Dr. Sheepy
Dr. Sheepy, a sleepy purple sheep with round glasses

Your voice, all night long.

Record loving phrases in your own voice. Dr. Sheepy plays them softly, now and then, over calming sleep sounds while your child drifts off.

How it works

  1. Record. Say 40 short phrases in your own voice. They stay on your phone.
  2. Pick a sound. Rain, white noise, a lullaby, a car ride, and more.
  3. Set the rhythm. Choose how often your voice appears, from every 5 seconds to every 5 minutes.
  4. Press play. The phrases rotate through five folders, so each night mixes every theme.

Five folders of words

The phrases are inspired by published research on warm, responsive parenting. Each folder has its own page with the lines, the studies behind it, and what we don't know.

An honest note about the research

We use the research to guide the wording. We don't claim these phrases are proven to help your child sleep or feel better, because nobody has tested these exact phrases. The research pages show our sources and the limits of what they tell us.
