Report draws on Owlet’s massive infant sleep dataset, one of the world’s largest, to reveal how babies sleep – evaluating bedtimes, wake-ups, sleep stretches, and biometric trends

In this report, Owlet offers clarity on what parents need to understand about their baby’s sleep by analyzing trends from babies using the Company’s smart infant monitors. Among them is Dream Sock®, the only FDA-cleared smart baby wearable monitor on the market. By helping families interpret sleep patterns over time and identify meaningful trends, Owlet brings the level of insight and context to infant sleep that consumers have come to expect from adult health wearables. With real-life data on infant sleep duration and patterns, night wakings by age, sleep consolidation milestones, and biometric trends, the report helps parents understand baby sleep development stages, recognize sleep progress, and feel more confident about their infant's sleep habits.
Key findings from Owlet’s 2025 Baby Sleep Report include:
-
80% of bedtime changes happen in the first six months: Baby sleep stabilizes faster than most parents expect, with both bedtime and morning wake times largely settling by mid–first year. - By 6–8 months, babies on average sleep nearly nine hours at a time: Median longest nighttime sleep stretches grow from about 4 hours in early infancy to nearly 9 hours by 6–8 months, even though some night wakings may continue.
- Night wakings drop by more than half by 9 months: By around 9 months, most babies experience significantly fewer night wakings, marking a major turning point for families.
- Biggest sleep and pulse rate changes happen in the first two months: Across millions of nights, the most dramatic changes in sleep patterns and pulse rate occur between the first and second months, before gradually slowing over time.
- Early high pulse rates are common and usually reflect age-typical patterns: For most, elevated pulse rates in younger babies fall within expected ranges, and these patterns begin to level out by around six months as sleep becomes more consistent, suggesting that more consistent physiological patterns emerge well before toddlerhood.
- Pulse rate remains higher during light sleep than deep sleep: Pulse rate is higher during light sleep, when the brain is more active and babies are more likely to move or wake. Deep sleep is generally more restorative, with lower pulse rates and fewer disruptions. As babies grow and spend less time in light sleep, both sleep and pulse rate patterns naturally become more stable.
