Our Mission
Our mission is to help families sleep better and achieve the rest they need and deserve. While parenting is wonderful, it's even better when everyone gets enough sleep. Our goal is to make everyday life smoother and less stressful.
Our values
We aim to provide our users with reliable and innovative solutions that enhance the quality of sleep and life within their families. We believe that a well-rested family is happier and healthier, and we continuously work to develop our services with this goal in mind.
Our Story
Everyone needs sleep. Sleep is a basic necessity. It's clear that after having a baby, we don't get 8 hours of uninterrupted beauty sleep, but the baby's first year and early toddlerhood don't have to be a constant haze of exhaustion (despite what many may claim).
iZzzleep: the sleep and parenting app made for moms, dads, grandmas, and everyone in between!
Fatigue can easily drain the colors from life and the joy of parenthood. Especially if there are mental health challenges in the background or if a parent experiences conditions like postpartum depression, the importance of sleep and rest becomes even more crucial.
We understand that sleep is crucial for the development of babies and children, but adequate rest is also a significant factor in the overall well-being of the entire family. A well-rested parent can engage in play and interaction with their children more effectively. So, if you want to sleep better, it doesn't make you selfish at all - quite the opposite. You deserve to prioritize sleep!
The sleep of a baby or young child, especially when tired, can sometimes feel like rocket science, and let's admit it, sometimes it almost is. Understanding the basics of a child's sleep at each age helps a lot in piecing together the sleep puzzle.
That's why we've gathered the most important things in an easily understandable format - in iZzzleep.
