Ever since Charles Dickens wrote about a crumb of cheese affecting Ebenezer Scrooge’s sleep in his popular book, A Christmas Carol, myths have abounded stating that eating cheese before bed can affect our dreams. In fact, there are almost as many stories about how cheese can affect dreams as there are types of cheese.

Not everyone enjoys spending their downtime without their creature comforts, or setting up nylon tents, dealing with the frustration of a missing pole, and worrying about being blown away.

There comes a time in every little Snoozer’s life when they are ready to make the ‘big move’. We’re talking about that transition from their cot, the only sleeping place they’ve ever known (yeah right - except for your bed, or the car, or quite frankly anywhere else) to a bed. A big kids bed.
