Help your kids sleep better and stop waking you up
Mella
Sleep hygiene needs to be learned  and many companies are using the magic of technology to help parents instill healthy sleep habits in their children. The smart alarm clock  Mella   currently being funded on Kickstarter  is one such device.
 Mella  is an all-in-one sleep aid that is aiming to hit the middle ground between simplicity and functionality. According to  Little Hippo  the company that created Mella  many of the sleep trainers on the market  are either too simplistic for the price or have too many confusing buttons. Plus  many of them are clunky and kitschy  which may appeal to kids but isn't ideal for getting them to drift off to sleep.  Mella  is designed to be both simple and engaging  with a modern design and cute face that appeals to parents and kids alike.
Check out their Kickstarter video for an overview of how  Mella  works:
 Mella  "goes to sleep" when your kid does â the face closes its eyes and the night light softly illuminates in the color you choose. ( Little Hippo  recommends amber light for best sleep quality.) You can also turn on your choice of ambient sounds: rain  ocean or white noise.
Morning  though  is when the real magic happens. In addition to a soft  kid friendly alarm (that you set)   Mella 's light turns green and the face wakes up when it's time to get up.
What makes  Mella  unique is the "play period" function. Since young kids don't really have a concept of time yet  they can get antsy in the morning when they don't know how long they're supposed to stay in bed.  Mella 's play period starts a half hour before the alarm goes off.  The light  turns yellow and the face gives a little smirk ( it 's supposed to be "playful" but  it  looks more mischievous ) letting your child know that they can start to play quietly and it'll be time to get up soon.
Unlike some other sleep trainers   Mella  isn't currently app-enabled.  Little Hippo  is considering adding an app-enabled  Mella  in the future so that parents can choose which version they'd like.
 Mella  is available in pink  blue  and a limited edition Kickstarter green. The stretch goal of $40 000 will unlock a purple option as well. Pledging $39 or more will get you  a Mella  in the first batch  scheduled to be delivered in February of 2018.
