Our 9 year old sometimes struggles getting to sleep so we hung the Monster Multi-Color USB Led light strip above his bed. We have it plugged into an adapter. If he needs the extra light to get to sleep he can push the remote to turn the lights on. We thought this would also help him if he needs to get up in the night or get's scared during a storm. He loves the lights and the various color options are very soothing for him. Our intention is to not leave these on all night but just allow him to have them for getting to sleep and then we turn them off before we go to bed. He loves the light and they are perfect for casting just enought light to see but in a subdued tone to make it easier to go to sleep.
