About the AASM Children's Storybook Apps

These free children's apps were developed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine to educate kids about the importance of sleep. Both apps have optional settings for children to read the stories at their own pace or have the stories read to them with audio. Adapted from the AASM's beautifully illustrated children's picture books, the apps also include coloring pages, puzzles and quiz games to make learning fun. These apps are ideal for use in the daytime and early evening.

A regular bedtime routine, such as reading a book or sharing stories, has a positive impact on children's sleep. For bedtime reading, the AASM recommends using the hardcover picture books from which the apps were adapted.
