Have you ever had a child wake up in the middle of the night seeking comfort, love, or protection? Perhaps awoken from a night-terror, fear of the dark, or missing someone important in their lives? With a home full of children and a husband who travels for business on occasion, this is an all too frequent scenario in my house. Of my four children, my 5 year old daughter seems to struggle the most with restless nights. Some nights worst than others. We introduced her to Sgt. Sleeptight, of the zzzbears military sleep personnel, in hopes that she would find great comfort and protection as she slept during the nights.
In my home, military personnel receive the highest of respect and adoration. In my children’s eyes, the men and women of our military represent sacrifice, power, love, and protection.
Two weeks ago, after a couple frequent nights of continuous night-terrors, Sgt. Sleeptight was called to duty. Before bedtime one night he was introduced to my sweet 5 year old. His purpose was simple, to watch over and protect my daughter as she slept during the night. He would offer protection from the scariest of dreams, darkest of night, and saddest of thoughts. There was no need to fear, because Sgt. Sleeptight was near.
I wasn’t certain that this would solve my daughters’ restless sleep during the nights, but two weeks have now passed and we have only had one or two difficult nights, instead of the typical four to six. My daughter always makes sure to have Sgt. Sleeptight by her side every night when she climbs into bed. The times that she did awake with fear and tears in the her eyes, I quickly comforted her and reunited her with him. Reminding her that he will always be with her as she sleeps and will be her protector through the night.
It is so precious to see how zzzbears and Sgt. Sleeptight help my daughter. Many mornings she wakes with excitement that she was able to sleep peacefully through the night and that her new friend never left her side.
For anyone who has a loved one serving in the military, zzzbears are a perfect way to bring comfort, peace, and protection to a young one during a deployment or TDY. There are three zzzbears available, the United States soldier, sailor or Marine. So no matter what branch of military you or your loved one is with, you can purchase the ideal Sgt. Sleeptight for your little one.
