Review on ⏳ SuLiao Sand Timer 5 Minute Hourglass: Vintage Brass Black Sand Clock, Small Sand Watch 5 Min, Reloj De Arena 5 Minutos, Unique Antique Hour Glass Sandglass for Office, Desk, Home Gifts, Kitchen Decor by Claire Soto

Love. Love. Love. My husband and I struggled to get a good nightly routine with our 3 year old and baby on the way. We needed a way to structure the time we spent in his room after we put him to bed. I liked small talk or simple silence while he settled in, but it was so hard to get out. He would focus on when we were leaving and cry when we were leaving before falling asleep. Some nights we only stayed 10 minutes, sometimes more than an hour. We tried getting the fish light timer to turn off when it was time for us to leave, but this rarely worked properly and often resulted in frustration and tears. It can't tell the time, but I figured it needed some sort of timer that could run when we want it to, but wouldn't make a destructive sound if it actually fell asleep. Enter this amazing sand time WITH LIGHT! Every night before bed, he turns on the hourglass and turns it over. 10 minutes is just what you need. Sometimes he looks at it peacefully, sometimes not. In any case, he spends quiet time with us while we fall asleep and knows exactly whether we are staying because the sand is still flowing or leaving because there is no more sand. I like that there are two different colors. This gives us the option to change the color for mom's night or "white" for dad's night. This is a must for any parent who needs to structure their child's sleep patterns.
