Our Mission

Ensure that every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity for healthy learning and development through the restorative power of sleep.

our why: the community

Closing the maternal health gap

We’re on a quest to help change the maternal and infant care disparity in the U.S. Marginalized groups of women, especially women of color, face much higher incidence rates of maternal and infant mortality in our country. We see this as unfair and unacceptable. Sleeps donates 10% of all profits to organizations working to ensure all women across the country have access to quality and equitable maternal and infant care.

our why: sleep to grow

Making memories

Most of your baby’s brain development happens during sleep: literally. This is when the connections between the left and right hemispheres of their brains are being formed. Brain synapses are formed during sleep: more than 1,000,000 million neural connections are formed per second during their first 3 years. Memories are formed and stored: your baby’s brain stores what they’ve learned that day during sleep. Lack of sleep can cause bigger problems down the road: cognitive issues, developmental delays, etc. can sometimes be linked to not getting enough sleep.

Our Why: sleep to learn

Building a strong foundation

Your baby is constantly learning. During sleep they're storing these new learnings to be used for the rest of their life. This is how your baby will learn her name, what things are, who you are, etc. By 3 years old, your baby will have formed over twice as many synapses as the average adult. This early brain development is essentially the building blocks for your baby’s future learning, health, and behavior. The connections formed as an infant serve as an infrastructure for forming more complex connections as adults.
