Dumb Ways to Sleep, a game that helps put your kids to sleep is out now on Android and iOS

Some kids just find it extremely hard to fall asleep. And that means parents can’t sleep either. That’s not good for either side so PlaySide Studios Limited has tried to come up with a solution. PlaySide is one of Australia’s largest video game developers that has made over 60 titles in collaboration with companies like Take-Two, Activision, Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros, and Nickelodeon.

Their next title aims to solve this widespread sleeping problem with their first-ever educational mobile app called Dumb Ways to Sleep. It does exactly what it says on the tin – finds silly and cute ways to put children to sleep.

Dumb Ways to Sleep combines storytelling and meditation practices with a roster of adorable characters to help parents out by relaxing and calming down restless children. The app uses methods rooted in science to achieve all of this, and it helps in much more than just putting your child to sleep.

The hallmark of course is the treasure trove of bedtime stories that features two endearing characters, Klutz and Bozo. Throughout the tales, they will find themselves in whimsical environments doing lots of crazy stuff. The app includes five feature stories with lullabies forming a part of the narrative.

But that’s not all. Dumb Ways to Sleep also encourages children to practice meditation from a young age, helping them unwind and relax at the end of the day. The guided meditations will teach kids about various breathing practices, help promote peace and aid in emotional balancing and general well-being.

All this is done in partnership with the experts at Peaceful Kids. The developers have managed to create a large portfolio of over 100 pieces of content at launch, with more in the pipeline. Dumb Ways to Sleep is free to download but requires a subscription which costs $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.

Out your children to sleep by downloading it now!
