Before CalmCarry, bedtime wasn’t dramatic. It was simply exhausting.

 

Every evening followed the same familiar pattern. We did what every professional, article, and well-meaning friend suggested. Screens were turned off early. We followed a calm bedtime routine. We tried moving bedtime earlier. We kept the house quiet.

 

None of those things addressed what actually mattered.

Our son wanted to sleep. He just could not settle his body.

 

He would tell us night after night that he was tired, but his body would not slow down. He was not resisting bedtime. He was not being defiant. He simply could not switch off.

 

If you are raising a child with ADHD, this will probably feel familiar. Your child is exhausted. You are exhausted. And yet bedtime stretches on far longer than it should.

If you’ve ever sat on the edge of your child’s bed, watching them try so hard to relax but unable to, you know how helpless that moment feels.
 

You’re doing everything “right,” yet nothing changes. And over time, bedtime stops being a routine and starts feeling like a nightly negotiation.

We realized it wasn’t a discipline problem or a routine problem. 

 

It was a regulation problem. His mind wanted rest, but his body was stuck in motion.

 

The tossing, the restless legs, the deep sighs that came from frustration instead of fatigue it was all part of the same loop.

Our Nightly Struggle With Sleep

"Like many families, our bedtime routine was especially challenging. As evening approached, my son's natural energy made winding down difficult. Sometimes, quiet time would stretch for hours before the house finally fell silent.

 

We noticed changes in our daily activities. My son's teachers mentioned he appeared less focused in class. As for me? I found myself relying on coffee more and more, watching our nightly routine become increasingly challenging.

 

We explored many different options. We tried common supplements, various oils, different blankets, and adjusted our bedtime routines. We even downloaded relaxation apps. While some things helped temporarily, we were still looking for something that could support my son's unique night time needs. As a parent, I continued searching for new ways to support our family's evening routine.

We Were Hesitant To Try Anything New

"One night, while scrolling through parent support groups online (you know, those midnight hours when you're up looking for new ideas), I kept seeing other parents talking about this device called CalmCarry. 

 

Their stories sounded just like ours - other families with kids who had a hard time at bedtime, parents trying to find gentle, natural options for their little ones, sharing what worked for their families.

 

So many parents were saying it helped their kids with ADHD settle at night.”

I Decided To Try Calm Carry

We didn’t expect a miracle. We decided to treat Calm Carry like a test. If it helped, great. If it didn’t, at least we would know. 
 

The first night, we handed it to our son and simply said, “Just hold this.”

What Actually Happened For Us

After a few minutes, he looked up and said that he felt calm. That night, he fell asleep in under 30 minutes. We didn’t jump to conclusions. So we tried it again the next night. And the night after that.

 

Each time, the same thing happened. He settled more quickly. His body moved less. Sleep came faster.

 

After three nights with consistent results, it stopped feeling like coincidence.

What Happened After Better Sleep

"The change didn’t stop at bedtime. With better sleep, mornings became easier. He woke earlier. He had more energy during the day. He found it easier to focus and engage.

 

Nothing about our routine changed, except sleep. It wasn’t dramatic. It was just noticeably better.

Why This Felt Different For Us

"Most advice for kids who struggle with sleep focuses on calming the mind. For many children with ADHD, the challenge is physical. Their nervous system stays active even when they are exhausted.

 

CalmCarry doesn’t ask a child to relax or concentrate. It gives the body a gentle physical signal through the hand that helps it settle naturally. One parent described the sensation as feeling like a soft heartbeat in the palm.

 

No coaching required. No explanation needed. Just something the body can respond to.

Our Child Is Sensory Sensitive 

"We did wonder how it would feel, especially for a child who can be sensitive to sensations.

 

Some parents shared that their child noticed the sensation at first, describing it as a little buzzy. In most cases, that hesitation passed quickly. Many children end up holding CalmCarry even after it stops, simply because it feels comforting.

 

That told us more than any technical explanation could.

The Science Behind CalmCarry: Understanding How It Works

CalmCarry is designed to support the nervous system through gentle stimulation in the hand, an area commonly used in grounding and calming techniques. Rather than stimulating the brain, it works through the body.

 

By providing a subtle physical signal, CalmCarry helps the nervous system recognise safety and calm, particularly during moments when it struggles to switch off. This makes it especially helpful for children who do not respond well to traditional relaxation methods.

Targeted PC8 Palm Stimulation

Gentle micro-current pulses stimulate the PC8 (Lao Gong) point, long associated with relaxation in traditional practices.

Micro-Current Pulse Technology

Subtle, low-level pulses create subtle sensations designed to feel calming, not intrusive.

Massage-Like Sensation

The rhythmic waves are often compared to a light hand massage, natural, soothing, and comfortable.

Built to complement the body’s natural rhythms, making it easy to integrate into everyday calming routines.
