Sleep Support Options
Are you wondering what level of support may suit your family’s needs best?
Read on to learn about the packages currently offered by The Merritts of Sleep.
As Sammy is a Registered Psychologist in Alberta, Canada, please note all services include evidence-based guidance, backed by research whenever possible. However, in the
sleep support options outlined below, Sammy is not providing psychological services
here at The Merritts of Sleep, and is instead working solely as a sleep consultant.
To book a package, please fill out the Contact form. You’ll receive
instructions on next steps from me via email so we can get started!
Dear Sammy
Have you ever wanted to ask a sleep consultant questions and get detailed, individualized responses? Here’s your chance! After completing an intake form and submitting up to 5 questions, you’ll receive an email response from Sammy covering answers to your questions. Your questions might be about what sleep “schedule” would be recommended for your baby, how to handle off days if naps are short, how to adjust baby’s typical schedule for upcoming events, how to night wean, how to nap train, or whatever else is on your mind sleep-wise. You may ask one clarifying question per question originally asked based on Sammy’s response, and Sammy will respond again with one more email.
This service includes:
-
Answers for up to 5 sleep questions via email
-
Follow-up email if needed to answer clarifying follow-up questions
Cost: $50 CAD

Sleep Troubleshooting Call
If your child can already put themselves to sleep independently* (or could previously), and you are looking for support on a specific sleep struggle (e.g., night wakings, early morning wakes, sleep regression, bedtime protests, crib to bed transition), a sleep troubleshooting call may meet your needs. You will have a 45 minute call where we’ll discuss your sleep situation in detail and come up with a plan to address it.
*An independent sleeper is one who can put themselves to sleep from wide awake (not drowsy).
This service includes:
-
45 minute call with Sammy
-
Detailed notes from our call outlining the plan we discussed for you to implement on your own
-
One email exchange with up to 3 emails back and forth between us, for you to ask any questions you have as you implement the plan
Cost: $75 CAD

Customized Sleep Plan
This level of support offers a customized sleep plan based on your child’s needs and your goals. The sleep plan includes guidance on scheduling, sleep training options, routines, sleep environment, and any other relevant areas. You will then be responsible for implementing the plan on your own (with the exception of the email exchange). Please note that the customized sleep plan generally takes 3-5 business days to complete after receiving the completed Intake form.
This service includes:
-
Customized sleep plan

One email exchange with up to 3 emails back and forth between us, for you to ask any questions you have as you implement the plan

Sleep Schedule Support
If your child can already put themselves to sleep independently* but they are having sleep struggles like short naps, night wakings, or early morning wakes, and you think it may be schedule related and/or time for a nap transition but you are not sure how to proceed, Sleep Schedule Support may meet your needs.
*An independent sleeper is one who can put themselves to sleep from wide awake (not drowsy).
This service includes:
-
Recent sleep log analysis: You will provide sleep log data from the previous 2-4 weeks. Based on that and the intake form, Sammy will provide a suggested starting schedule via email and any other relevant recommendations if needed for your child’s sleep.
-
2 weeks of ongoing sleep log analysis: You will complete a detailed sleep log for the 2 weeks support period. During that time, Sammy will review and analyze the sleep log, providing relevant feedback and recommendations via e-messaging.
-
Unlimited e-messaging support for 2 weeks regarding your child’s sleep schedule where you can ask questions and receive personalized recommendations from Sammy
Cost: $150 CAD

1:1 Sleep Support
If you would like your family to get more sleep, 1:1 Sleep Support offers a customized sleep plan based on your child’s needs and your goals. The sleep plan includes guidance on scheduling, sleep training options, routines, sleep environment, and any other relevant areas. Please note that the customized sleep plan generally takes 3-5 business days to complete after receiving the completed Intake form. You will also have a phone or video call with me to review the sleep plan and 1-3 weeks of unlimited e-messaging support as you implement the sleep plan.
1 Week of 1:1 Sleep Support
This service includes:
-
Customized sleep plan
-
Call with Sammy to review the sleep plan before implementation
-
Sleep log analysis for 1 week as you implement the sleep plan
-
Unlimited e-messaging support for 1 week
-
Personalized wrap-up guide
Cost: $150 CAD
Note: This option is ideal for families who want to engage in an approach to sleep training that tends to lead to faster results in terms of independent sleep skills (without using extinction/cry-it-out). If a family prefers a more gradual method, they can begin to implement the plan and likely need to continue without e-messaging support.
2 Weeks of 1:1 Sleep Support
This service includes:
-
Customized sleep plan
-
Call with Sammy to review the sleep plan before implementation
-
Sleep log analysis for 2 weeks as you implement the sleep plan
-
Unlimited e-messaging support for 2 weeks
-
Personalized wrap-up guide
Cost: $250 CAD
Note: This timeframe can work for many families, as it gives time to implement the sleep plan and troubleshoot, with the potential for success using many sleep training methods.
3 Weeks of 1:1 Sleep Support

-
Customized sleep plan
-
Call with Sammy to review the sleep plan before implementation
-
Sleep log analysis for 3 weeks as you implement the sleep plan
