Getting your baby to go to sleep can be a difficult task. Baby Sleepytime combines a book of wonderful nursery rhymes that you read to your child while you play the hour-long CD that is scientifically designed to help you and your baby go to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. Baby Sleepytime uses the power of binaural beats to induce the Frequency Following Response (FFR). Binaural beats and FFR were the subject of an article in Scientific American in 1973 that led to many new discoveries into brainwave effects. AV technologist Christopher Oliver has built on this technology to create a unique and powerful dual binaural beat technology. He recorded and mixed multiple tracks of ocean waves from the Gulf of Mexico at Padre Island, blending them to produce a backdrop on which he layered multi-track, sleep-inducing brainwave sounds. The result is the most effective sleep CD ever. Completely safe and very effective, Baby Sleepytime means no more crying and tears at bedtime for babies and no more sleepless nights for parents.
