Ian Chambers, CEO of Mind Candy, Moshi Twilight.
The Moshi Twilight Sleep Stories app is packed with over 40 hours of completely original sleepy content, with something new added every week. Families can choose from a growing library of over 120 different Sleep Stories, Music Tracks, Sounds and Kids’ Meditations, to help settle little listeners.

Studies show that a good night’s sleep is crucial for your child’s development. Sleep boosts energy levels, improves memory, increases concentration and promotes overall physical health. It can also help kids manage anxiety and stress, while reducing their focus on any negative thoughts. What’s more, the quality and quantity of sleep your kids get affects the entire household.

In a recent Moshi Twilight poll, more than half of the 1000 U.S. parents surveyed said that emotions such as stress and anxiety were keeping their kids from falling asleep at night. 85% of those surveyed said that story-telling plays an important role in the bedtime routine.
