Understand your child’s nights, one question at a time
You’re not sleeping, and you’re trying to understand why your child isn’t either. faisdodo spots what’s getting in the way and hands you a clear plan, with something to try tonight. Every tip is grounded in real studies.
Everything stays on your phone. No account, nothing to send.
From the first question to night-after-night tracking
You tell us about your child, answer a short assessment, get a plan. Then each morning, thirty seconds to log the night — and the curves remember what tiredness makes you forget.
An age-aware sleep assessment
A dozen questions, tuned to your child’s age: rhythm, routine, falling asleep, screens, the bedroom, the day. There’s no right answer, only yours.
A clear, prioritised plan
A night score, the levers to work on first, and for each one the why and something to try. What’s already holding is shown too, not only what’s missing.
Tips with sources
Every recommendation links to a published study on children’s sleep — the consensus on sleep needs, the bedtime routine, screens, evening light. Nothing is made up.
A night log
Each morning, log the night: wakings, how they fell asleep, the previous evening’s routine, anything worth noting. Thirty seconds, while the coffee brews.
Tracking that takes shape
Score per night, averages, seven-night trends, sleep and waking curves. Plus what really helps your child, from the nights you’ve logged — not a theory.
A warning-signs check
Four safety questions (snoring, breathing pauses…). Some things a routine won’t fix: better to have a doctor look. Nothing here is a diagnosis.
Four steps, and it gets clearer
Tell us about them
Their first name and date of birth. Age is used to compare their sleep to their age, nothing more.
Answer the assessment
A dozen questions tuned to their age. Five minutes, no jargon.
Get the plan
A night score, the levers to work on, and for each one what you can try, with the source.
Log each night
Thirty seconds in the morning. Day after day, the tracking shows what’s shifting.
The same steps, in the same order: the most reliable sleep cue there is.
A short, always-identical sequence: bath, pyjamas, two books, into bed.
We spot what’s in the way, and where to start
The assessment tunes itself to the child’s age and weighs a dozen levers. It shows only the ones to work on, most urgent first, each with the why and a concrete step to try.
- A night score out of 100, with a plain-language band (“on the right track”, “hard nights”)
- Levers ranked: work on first, then, and what’s already holding
- Every tip linked to a study, clickable, never guilt-tripping
+8 pts · 1 fewer waking
The curves remember what tiredness forgets
Each logged night feeds a score, averages and seven-night trends. You see real 24-hour sleep against the range recommended for their age, and how regular bedtime is.
- Score per night, wakings and hours of sleep, over 14 or 30 nights
- Trends 7 nights vs 7, and bedtime regularity (± minutes)
- What really helps your child, worked out from your own nights
Log the night while the coffee brews
A quick entry built for a tired morning: how the night went, how many wakings, falling asleep, the previous evening’s routine, an event. Whatever you like — the rest you can skip.
- Wakings, falling asleep, naps and next-day form
- The routine, screens and an active day: what worked the evening before
- A free word to remember it by
The theme follows the time of day
faisdodo darkens at night and lightens by day. This site does the same: the palette you’re seeing right now shifts with the hour, just like the app. At night the screen doesn’t glare; one warm light, the nightlight, guides your eye.
Dawn
Coming out of the night, tender warm light.
Day
Full daylight, bright paper, everything breathes.
Dusk
Light falling, warm sunset tones.
Night
Deep indigo, stars, the nightlight the only marker.
The app, screen by screen
One mood, the night, and a calm voice. Screens reconstructed from the app’s source, which is still in development.
The same steps, in the same order: the most reliable sleep cue there is.
A short, always-identical sequence: bath, pyjamas, two books, into bed.

Every tip rests on a published study
Sleep needs by age come from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine consensus (Paruthi 2016). The bedtime routine, evening screens, light, self-settling, bedtime fears: every lever cites its sources, and the warning-signs check draws on validated tools. We’re honest about the limits too — faisdodo is not medical advice.
Nothing leaves your phone
The assessment, plan, log and tracking live on your device, in the app’s private storage. No account, no server, no tracking. We’re talking about your child’s sleep: that’s the last place data should leak.
- No data sent anywhere
- No account required
- No ad trackers
What people often ask us
From what age?
From 3 months. Before that, sleep is still finding its own rhythm; the app says so and invites you back a little later. The questions and benchmarks then tune themselves to the child’s age.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything is stored on your phone, and only there. No account, no server, nothing uploaded. Uninstalling the app erases it all.
Is this medical advice?
No. faisdodo gathers the most solid findings on children’s sleep and turns them into simple steps. If something worries you (snoring, breathing pauses, repeated terrors), talk to your doctor. A built-in check nudges you to, if needed.
Is the app in English?
Yes — French by default, and bilingual French / English. A toggle in settings switches the whole interface and all the advice.
What are the tips based on?
On published studies: the American Academy of Sleep Medicine consensus on sleep needs, landmark work on the bedtime routine (Mindell), screens (Hale & Guan), evening light (Akacem), and more. Every recommendation links to its source.
How much does faisdodo cost?
It’s a prototype to test the concept, free at launch on the App Store and Google Play.
