Abstract

A sleep training device is disclosed comprising certain electronic components, audio components, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), physical switches, a capacitive touch component, or a combination thereof. The sleep training device can have a housing configured to house the electronic components, the audio components, the LEDs, the capacitive touch component, and at least part of the physical switches. The sleep training device can receive an instruction to schedule a sleep program based on a set parameter from another device in wireless communication with the sleep training device, initiate the sleep program once the set parameter is met, and disable at least one of the physical switches and the capacitive touch component when the sleep program is initiated.
