Introducing Lully - the ONLY Proven Solution to Night TerrorsPALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Available to consumers for the first time, Lully is the only proven solution to night terrors. The Lully system lulls a child to sleep by sending gentle vibration from under the mattress to the child right before the night terrors occur. These vibrations protect the child from having night terrors. Lully was developed from research at Stanford University and is proven to stop 9 out of 10 night terrors. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 36 Million children experience sleep disorders on a weekly basis. Night terrors are one of the leading causes of children not sleeping well at young ages. It is estimated that nearly 25% of children age 2-12 will experience at least one night terror. Night terrors are caused when a child enters an unhealthy stage of deep sleep. Despite how common they are parents don't typically talk about them because physicians have never been able to offer a solution. Because of night terrors, many parents develop altered sleep habits themselves, and can have severe effects on parents' quality of life. "I know the impact that night terrors can have on a family, I have experienced them first hand," says co-founder Andy Rink, MD. "Both my sister and niece experienced them frequently. The exhaustion from months of disrupted sleep takes a toll on the entire family. I'm thrilled that we can offer relief from this experience with the first effective solution on the market." Scientific studies on a technique called "scheduled awakenings" have demonstrated that proactively ensuring that a child remains in safe, healthy deep sleep is very effective at preventing a night terror. In fact a series of clinical studies starting back in 1988 have shown a 90% reduction in night terrors with this method. The Lully system is designed to bring this clinically validated, effective technique to the hands of parents. Based on a child's specific sleep patterns the Lully system uses vibrations, prior to a transition into unhealthy deep sleep, to keep the child in the safe, healthy stage of deep sleep and as a result prevent a night terror, meaning better sleep for the whole family. The Lully System was created by Varun Boriah, MS and Andy Rink, MD who completed fellowships in the Stanford Biodesign Program and teamed up to develop a proven method for treating night terrors. Leading sleep medical experts, Dr. Shannon Sullivan, Christian Guilleminault, and Mark Mahowald from Stanford University were all influential in the product's research and development.
