Cats
One of the popular pages on our website shows dozens and dozens of beautiful babies sleeping in various cute poses.
Now one of our lovely customers has sent us this site which does the same for cats.
We’re not going to waste any of our CDs on the cats though. In our experience, they seldom have any trouble getting off to sleep!
Stoke Bliss
A perfectly-named village for anyone who, like little sleepy head, aims to stoke bliss into your home.
In fact we love this place so much that we’re offering a free CD to the first resident of Stoke Bliss, Worcestershire to contact us and claim it.
Deliveries
We hope you enjoyed a super extended Christmas holiday weekend. We did – but not before we’d ensured all the CDs ordered by our customers were firmly dispatched in the mail.
We know from some of you that postal and courier deliveries in parts of the UK were significantly affected by the snow in the lead-up to Christmas. Our understanding is that the Royal Mail has effectively cleared its backlog now, so all orders should be safely delivered.
However, if you have ordered a CD and still not received it please give us a call or email us to let us know. We will then do whatever is necessary to ensure you get your CD without further delay.
With kind thanks,
Stephen, Sam and George
Weather
First the good news – we’re right up to date with processing orders at little sleepy headquarters. If you ordered your CD before today (Sunday) it’s already in the postal system.
However, forces beyond our influence mean your CD may face trouble ahead:
Guernsey airport has been closed for two days. It reopened at 1330 today (Sunday) and we hope this means that recent CD orders will be leaving the island shortly, however there will be some which have been stuck at the airport waiting to board a flight.
Secondly, we know that Royal Mail in the UK is struggling to make its normal delivery schedule in many places and there may be little sleepy head CDs stuck in the backlog on the mainland (as we call it in Guernsey).
If you’ve ordered your little sleepy head CD in the last few days and think it should have arrived by now but hasn’t please let us know. Even if we can’t dig it out ourselves it helps us to know where in the UK are the worst problems.
Helping children with additional needs
Every now and then we’re approached by parents of children with additional needs.
We’ve learned that children with cerebral palsy, autism, downs or global developmental delay can have severe problems with sleep and that masking white noise sounds like those on our CD can be very useful to them.
Everybody needs a good night’s sleep so today we’re pledging to learn more about these conditions, the specific sleep issues associated with them and where we might be able to help.
If this interests or affects you then you might like to know about a couple organisations which are dedicated to improving the sleep of children with additional needs.
Sleep Scotland
Based in Edinburgh, this charity provides support to families of children and young people with additional support needs and severe sleep problems. It also operates dozens of sleep clinics across Scotland.

Joanne’s story
Remember the Google search ad fad from a few months ago? Well, we just stumbled upon this video, inspired by a email sent to us by by one of our loveliest customers, Joanne.
Cute pictures of babies
