How many sleeps?

Features

What the app does

Seven screens, one idea: making the passing of time visible to a child.

How many sleeps home screen showing the number of sleeps before the next event

How many sleeps until the big day?

The countdown to every event you love, with a notification as the big day nears

The home screen shows the next event in full size, with the number of sleeps left. The count updates overnight: by morning, the number has already dropped by one. A notification arrives as the day approaches.

List of events with their countdowns in How many sleeps

All your events in one place

Birthdays, holidays, celebrations…

The list gathers every running countdown, nearest first. Each event has its own illustration, colour and progress bar, so a child can spot theirs at a glance.

Event detail screen with the countdown in days, weeks and months

Follow every countdown in detail

Days, weeks, months and season

The detail screen breaks the wait down: in sleeps, in weeks, in months, and places the event within the season. A simple way to introduce units of time without turning it into a lesson.

Gallery of printable sheet templates

A gallery of printable sheets

Pick a template, customise it, print it

Advent calendars, square-by-square paths, bedtime routine charts, certificates: the gallery offers several templates to print at home. Each sheet carries the event and its illustration.

Customised printable sheet with one square to colour per day

One square to colour in every morning

The countdown leaves the screen: one square coloured in each morning, on the fridge or the bedroom wall. Watching the row fill up makes the wait concrete — and gives the day a small ritual.

Event creation screen in How many sleeps

Add an event in a tap

Pick a date, we count the sleeps

A name, a date, an illustration, and the event exists. The main dates of the year — school holidays, celebrations, the new term — are already suggested for your country; you only confirm them.

How many sleeps widget on a phone home screen

The countdown on your home screen

A widget that refreshes every night

The widget shows the next event without even opening the app. It refreshes overnight, so the number is right at the first glance of the morning.

Start your first countdown tonight

Available on iPhone, iPad and Android. An event takes less than a minute to create, and the first "how many sleeps?" gets asked at bedtime.
