Is Your Child Ready for the Nightollie Alarm?

1. How old is your child?
Select age 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14+

Most children naturally outgrow bedwetting around age 5 & 6. The Nightollie Alarm is recommended for children 7 and older. Starting too early may reduce confidence and effectiveness.

2. Is bedwetting impacting your child's life?
Select an option Yes No

Nighttime wetting can affect sleep, self-esteem, and daily routines. If it’s impacting life, starting support sooner can help.

3. Is your child motivated to stop bedwetting?
Select an option Yes No

Some children seem unmotivated because previous solutions haven’t worked. When offered a new, supportive approach, many are eager to try. Research shows alarms work best from age 7+. Younger children may not care about night pants or could be startled by alarm sounds, which can affect confidence and later attempts.

4. Does your child wear night pants?
Select an option Yes No

If your child still wears night pants, try a few nights without your child wearing them.

• If wet beds happen, reassure them it’s normal — children can’t control bedwetting.
• Take note if they wake or tell you, or sleep through.
• If mostly wet, return to night pants and try again in a few weeks.
• This helps confirm whether your child may benefit from an alarm.

5. Does your child show signs of daytime wetting (overactive bladder)?
Select an option Yes No

Daytime wetting is a different condition. Signs include damp underwear or strong odour. It’s often mistaken as laziness, but requires medical attention before starting an alarm.

6. Does your child show signs of constipation?
Select an option Yes No

Constipation can take time to manage. Overflow (encopresis) may occur without the child noticing. This is not deliberate — children can’t control it. Treating constipation first is essential. Please see your GP.

7. Does your child snore when asleep?
Select an option Yes No

Snoring can indicate sleep apnoea. Alarm treatment is unlikely to work until any sleep issues are addressed.

8. Is there a family history of bedwetting?
Select an option Yes No Not sure

Genetics can play a role. Children from families with strong histories may take longer to become completely dry, and occasional relapses are common.

9. How many nights per week is your child wet?
Select an option Every night Some nights Once a month

Tracking wet nights helps measure progress and set realistic expectations for alarm use.

10. Do you lift your child during the night to use the bathroom?
Select an option Yes No

Night-time lifting is not a sustainable solution. Children may be cranky, forget the trip, and still wake up wet. As they grow, this becomes harder to manage consistently.

11. Do you restrict your child's drinks before bed?
Select an option Yes No

Restricting fluids isn’t effective — bedwetting is a sleep/wake issue, not caused by drinking. Children should be able to drink as needed without penalty.

12. Have you tried an alarm before and it didn’t work?
Select an option Yes No

Not all alarms are equal. Many families give up when not supported or instructed properly. Nightollie is science-backed, with a high success rate when used consistently with guidance.
