Actually Sleeping Builds Customized Pediatric Sleep Program for Families From Newborns Through Age Five

Founded by Samantha Abrahamson, PharmD, Actually Sleeping has built a customized pediatric sleep program working with families from newborns through age five.

For most new parents, sleep is the first thing they lose when they bring a baby home. The market that has grown up around the problem is crowded with books, apps, courses, and consultants, almost all of which sell information and leave families to implement it on their own.

Actually Sleeping, founded by Samantha Abrahamson, PharmD, is taking a different approach. The company does not sell information. It sells a customized plan, daily coaching, and a guarantee that if a baby does not start sleeping through the night, the family does not pay.

The Actually Sleeping model has reached more than 110 families to date. The company reports a 100 percent success rate among families who follow its guidance, and says most babies enrolled in the program begin sleeping 8 to 12 hours through the night within 24 to 48 hours of starting.

Not the Ferber Method, Not Any Other Named Method

One of the most common questions Actually Sleeping receives from parents is whether the program is built around the Ferber method, the Weissbluth method, or another of the well-known approaches families typically come across in their research. According to the company, it is not.

Actually Sleeping has developed a proprietary system that works across a wide range of cases, from newborns through age five, including twins, triplets, and children with special needs. The company says it uses proprietary techniques and technology that let the team track each baby’s specific patterns and sleep trends over time, which is what allows a single methodology to be applied across very different family situations without becoming generic.

At the center of the program is a phase Actually Sleeping calls BOOTCAMP. The company says BOOTCAMP is where families see results 10 to 100 times faster than they would using more traditional sleep training methods, because BOOTCAMP cuts out roughly 99.9 percent of the actions other programs ask parents to take that, in Actually Sleeping’s own data, do not move the needle on outcomes.

The company’s stated position is that most sleep training programs are loaded with steps and rituals that feel productive to parents but do not actually change the underlying sleep pattern. Actually Sleeping says its system was built by isolating the actions that do drive results and cutting everything else out of the way.

A Program Designed for Every Age, Even Before Birth

A second question Actually Sleeping receives often is whether the program is only for newborns, only for older toddlers whose habits have already set in, or for some narrower band in between. The company says it is built for both ends, and everything in the middle.

Actually Sleeping works with families starting before a baby is born and continuing through age five. The position behind the program is that laying healthy and safe sleep foundations as early as possible is the single biggest predictor of long-term success.

For families who have waited, and whose children already have habits in place, the system is also designed to break those habits in a way the company says it can guarantee.

That guarantee is unusual in the pediatric sleep consulting space, where most providers carefully avoid making promises about outcomes. Actually Sleeping is willing to make the promise, the company says, because it only takes on families it believes it can help, and that decision is made during the initial free consultation rather than before.

So What Does Actually Sleeping Cost?

It is the first question almost every parent asks, and Actually Sleeping has structured the answer deliberately.

Every Actually Sleeping program is customized to the individual family. Pricing varies based on the child’s age, the complexity of the sleep issues involved, and the level of coaching the situation requires.

There are no set prices published, and pricing can shift upward when availability on the consulting team’s calendar is limited. The company declines to quote pricing or ranges to families it has not yet spoken with.

Instead, Actually Sleeping offers a free, no-pressure consultation to every family that reaches out. Families begin with a short qualification form, followed by a conversation with one of the company’s sleep consultants if the situation looks like one the team can help with.

The structure exists, the company says, because every plan is fully customized to the child and household. Actually Sleeping does not guarantee results or quote pricing until it has actually spoken with a family and understood the specific situation.

The free consultation also functions as a filter on the other side. If Actually Sleeping does not believe it can get a particular baby sleeping, the company says it will not accept the family at all.

The company’s stated philosophy on the business model is straightforward. If a baby does not sleep, Actually Sleeping does not make money, which is why the qualifying conversation has to happen first and why what the company calls its Sleep Nirvana Guarantee exists on the back end.

Under the guarantee, if a child does not sleep 8 to 12 hours through the night, the family receives a 100 percent refund and the team continues working with them at no further charge.

A Different Kind of Pediatric Sleep Consultancy

Actually Sleeping has grown alongside a broader shift in how parents evaluate expert services. Generic, mass-market solutions are losing ground to individualized programs backed by named founders, real client results, and accountability for outcomes.

Most consultancies in adjacent industries avoid making guarantees about results. Actually Sleeping has put one in writing.

For Samantha Abrahamson, the willingness to stand behind outcomes is what allows the company to keep its delivery one on one, and to refuse to scale into a course or app model that would dilute results.
