FAQs

How is the Sleepy Hat different from other baby hats?

A carefully designed mask is attached to the hat. Just thick and wide enough to block light and visual distractions, it gently covers your baby's eyes to help them get to that sleepy state. Please note that the Sleepy Hat is not intended for overnight use. It is meant to be used only while baby is supervised.

Will the Sleepy Hat help my baby fall asleep faster?

Whether indoors or outdoors, light, screens, and people can provide too much stimulation for your baby. Tired babies become frustrated by overstimulation and by their effort to ease into sleep. The Sleepy Hat eye cover helps block this things out so your baby can ease into that sleepy state more easily.

When and where should I use the Sleepy Hat?

Anytime and anywhere your baby needs to fall asleep: at home, on a plane, at the park, in the stroller. The Sleepy Hat is your magic wand! Put it on baby's head, lower the eye mask, and let it do its magic. Once baby is asleep, remove the hat.

Is the Sleepy Hat made of safe materials?

Yes! Safety is important to us. The fabrics we used are OKEO-tex certified that have been tested by an independent third party lab.

Our Story

Helping Babies Fall Asleep More Easily!

The Sleepy Hat was created by a first-time Mom who quickly realized that her baby fell asleep faster when his eyes were gently covered. This fairly quick realization was unfortunately followed by weeks of frustration when she and her partner tried (often with hilarious results) to find ways to cover their son's eyes. Something had to be done.
