Why Parents Trust Owlet Dream Sock® for Better Sleep

Parenting a newborn is a deeply rewarding experience, but it also brings significant challenges. The early months are often marked by love and connection, but for many parents, they are also defined by fatigue.
According to our recent State of Parenting Report, 61% of parents describe themselves as “exhausted” during their baby’s first year. Nearly half feel overwhelmed, and a third experience frequent anxiety. The reality for many families is that the joy of welcoming a baby is accompanied by sleepless nights and constant worry about their baby’s wellbeing.
How Owlet Dream Sock® Supports Better Sleep
Why Are Parents So Tired?
Sleep deprivation is a common experience among new parents, but it is not always caused by a crying baby. Our research found that 86% of parents get out of bed an average of eight times per night simply to check on their baby’s wellbeing.
Parents often wake to make sure their baby is breathing, monitor the room temperature, or investigate every small noise or movement. When babies are sick or recovering, more than half of parents report that they can't sleep at all. Even when babies sleep, parents often do not. This constant vigilance, while understandable, takes a toll on health, focus, and emotional wellbeing.
Supporting Families with Smart Technology
Today’s parents are turning to technology to address these challenges. They’re looking for tools that help them feel informed, supported, and confident—especially when it comes to their baby’s health and safety.
Findings from the State of Parenting Report reflect this shift:
- Three out of four parents say that technology that helps them monitor their baby has made them feel less stressed and anxious
- One in two parents want a monitor that can help them understand if and when they need to seek medical attention
- One in four wish they had access to medical grade health monitoring technology at home when their baby is unwell
Dream Sock® was created to meet these needs. We believe that the right technology can offer parents peace of mind during the early stages of their child's life.
Dream Sock®: The Trusted Baby Monitor for Peace of Mind
Dream Sock® is a soft, wearable baby monitor that wraps around your baby’s foot and tracks real-time health data, including pulse rate, oxygen levels, and sleep trends. Parents can access this information via the Owlet® Dream App, providing a clear view of their baby’s wellbeing.
If any readings fall outside preset ranges, the system sends an alert to both the Base Station and the app, ensuring parents are notified when it matters most. The goal is simple: let parents rest when their baby rests, knowing they’ll be alerted if something needs their attention.
The Positive Impact on Sleep and Peace of Mind
When we asked parents about the impact of technology on their parenting journey, the response was clear: modern monitoring tools are making a huge difference. In fact, most parents say having a way to track their baby’s health has helped reduce their stress and anxiety. Whether it’s knowing when to seek medical advice or just having reassurance that their baby is doing well, this technology has become indispensable for many families.
Our data shows that the impact of Dream Sock® goes beyond tracking health metrics.
- 96% of parents say the product gives them greater peace of mind
- 94% report better sleep quality since using it
For many families, this improvement is not just measurable, it is deeply personal. One Owlet user, Kali Jo Tice, shared her experience using Dream Sock® with her baby:
“I decided I needed to get my hands on Dream Sock® because I knew it could monitor pulse rate and oxygen saturation. The very first night we used it I noticed the weight of my stress felt so much lighter. During this process of waiting for answers about my baby’s breathing, our Dream Sock® has been a DREAM. I can roll around in bed at night because I don’t feel like I need to have eyes on him at all times. My hand isn’t resting on his chest all the time. I’m not sitting and drowning in my thoughts about what his oxygen level is. I truly underestimated what this device would do for me mentally. I will be recommending this to any of my friends who have children in the future because it’s something I now wish I had with my first child, not just my second. Peace of mind is so important for a mother.”
The State of Parenting Report confirms what many parents already know: modern parenting comes with immense emotional weight. But with the right tools, parents can experience more rest, less stress, and greater confidence.
The Dream Sock® is designed to support families during one of life’s most transformative periods. It’s not just a baby monitor—it’s a solution to help parents be present, rested, and confident through every stage of early parenthood.
When families sleep better, they feel better. And that’s something every parent deserves.
