Why it works

The rhythmic crackling of the wood fires serves as a soothing auditory filter that masks household noise, lowering bedtime resistance. The warm visual glow provides a relaxing, non-stimulating point of focus that helps settle an overstimulated child. It functions as an exceptional self-regulation tool for restless sleepers needing a calm night-light alternative.
