It does seem to work for my 3 year old who would otherwise come out of her room 10times a night. Now she knows to wait for Sam the Lamb to wake first. The controls are set up a bit weird but it only takes a few nights to figure it out. The clock turns green 1/2 hour before the wake up time, I recommend you set the wake up time to 1/2 hour after you want them to wake as the green is good enough for them. Then I set the sound to come on right at wake time when he opens his eyes. Now about a week into it she really does use it well. My only hang up is not being able to program it, you basically have to set it up every single night, but we do like to change times on week days from weekends and sleep in so its not so baaaaaaad (pun). Also the children will play with his eyes forcing them open, but clearly the designers figured this would happen and it really does not harm the clock.Update: 10-17-17 So my daughter (now 4) no longer needs this to tell her when to get up and its been turned off for about six months now. Last night however our power went out for about 10 minutes and when it came back on the I heard a super loud continuous tone filling the whole house, its was Sam the sleep timer, the face was solid bright green with no numbers or marks at all and a tone so loud I could not hear my daughter telling me to turn it off. After ripping the cord out of the wall (which should have been done six months ago) it was silent once again. So if you want a free one hit me up I will be happy to send you mine.
