our story

Lauren and Monica are sisters, who both live in New York. Lauren is a mom of three beautiful children. After her first son was born, Lauren realized the importance of sleep, for her baby and her sanity. After eight weeks of little to no sleep, Lauren engaged a private sleep consultant for help. Sure enough, it worked… and she used these methods for all three kids. As her kids grew so happy and healthy, she reflected back to their formative years and on the importance of sleep in their early development and its contributions to who they were growing into today. It was then that she decided to expand her learning and became a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant. Lauren also has her Master’s in Early Childhood Education and Special Education.

Cue Monica. Monica is a mom of one and an HR professional. She watched countless moms return from maternity leave sleep deprived and depleted. She quickly realized that the most common but unseen obstacle of being a working mom is sleep. There had to be a solution, so they got to talking while Monica was on maternity leave. Together, they developed the Dozy Sleep Method.

Together they consulted physicians, researched the science, and vowed not to let another of their Millennial friends suffer from sleep deprivation due to bad baby habits. And the Dozy Sleep Method was born. Dozy is grounded in science, which guarantees moms, and babies, endless nights of uninterrupted sleep.
