Why We Created SleepSpeak™

A little Spanish frustration. A fascination with how we learn. And an idea that changed our bedtime routine.

Moving to Spain was one of the best decisions we made as a family. Learning the language, however, wasn't quite as straightforward.

We were surrounded by Spanish every day, yet somehow never seemed to find enough time to properly learn it. Between work, raising teenagers and everything else life throws at you, our good intentions to practise often fell to the bottom of the list.

And we kept coming back to one question:

What if learning Spanish didn't have to compete for more of our time?

With backgrounds in psychology and science, and a longstanding interest in meditation, we started exploring the research behind learning, repetition and memory.

The more we explored, the more intrigued we became by the relationship between learning and sleep. We wondered whether we could combine conversational Spanish, deliberate repetition and guided relaxation into something that fitted naturally into the end of a busy day.

That idea became SleepSpeak™.

We developed the experience around a simple philosophy: learning should work with your life, not demand that you rearrange it.

Today, SleepSpeak™ is part of our family's own routine, including our teenagers. And we're continuing to develop it with the same curiosity that inspired us to begin.

Made by a family living in Spain. Informed by the science of learning and memory. Designed for real life.

Listen. Relax. Sleep. Repeat.
