- A new ability for the history of sleeping time for Alexa de Amazon has been introduced
- Falls and stripes It is a story backed by science designed to help children drift
- It can be supported with a Alexa routine at bedtime that includes smart light jam
Amazon has announced new powers for Alexa to help parents in the night routine of making their children go to sleep. It comes in the form of a history of bedtime that has been specifically adapted, and is “backed by science”, to work effectively for this purpose.
The story was written by television presenter Vogue Williams, who also tells the story, and the scientific advice is courtesy of a dream expert from the University of Durham, Professor Helen Ball.
Falls and stripes It is a story about a mother who takes her two young tigers through her routine to go to bed (apparently inspired by Vogue’s son, who is very interested in animals).
Professor Ball (downtown Durham Infancy & Sleep at the University of Durham) advised about the rhythm of the story and the use of relaxing topics. It also contains elements such as repeated phrases and a gradual reduction at the volume level as history progresses, to help generate a sensation of sleep.
In addition, a key point here is the approach of history itself that is a routine to sleep with which children will identify quickly, since that is what are happening for themselves.
Parents can not only use their intelligent speaker to help their children fall asleep with this thematic story of Tigres, but Amazon also points out that there is a Alexa routine when lying down to bed that has been introduced.
This supports Vogue’s story, following it with brown noise and attenuating the lights, everything that increases the effect of helping the child drift (assuming that you have intelligent lights connected to Alexa, of course, in the last case).
Those with Alexa can activate said routine at bedtime when heading here, or to tell the story of Falls and stripesI just ask: “Alexa, helps my son to fall asleep.”
A little spooky or simply cheesy?
Attend
Is it somewhat creepy to make Alexa fall asleep? I can see why some people could think about it, and consider that the stories of the time of bedt maybe).
But, of course, Alexa does not have to use for the tasks of the history of sleeping time, this is just another open option for users. And to be fair, this sounds like an adequately cheesy story, and a good way to read a story to sleep their children in this way, instead of using only a simple audiobook (as many parents already do) without any of the Tailoring mentioned by Professor Ball.
Not everyone has time to fit into a complete routine to go to bed every day, after all, and as part of the background of the creation of this story, Amazon conducted an adult survey in the United Kingdom. He found that 25% of respondents “fought to accustom their children regularly” and that 12% reported “consistent difficulties” in this regard. All of which can increase the stress of a too busy life, of course.
