A children sleep aid apparatus using a vehicle motion stimulator includes a sleep structure having a sleeping surface sized and configured for securely confining the children, a tactile transducer coupled to the sleeping structure, a vehicle simulation control unit in electrical communication with the tactile transducer, a loudspeaker and simple light projector. The vehicle simulation control unit comprises of a complex audio amplifier configured to generate sonic and tactile impulse patterns transmitted to the tactile transducer and loudspeaker. A light projector is mounted on the vehicle simulation unit. When activated, the unit produces electrical impulses to the tactile transducer, audible signals to the ambient speaker, and electrical power to the light projector to simulate tactile bumps and rumbles with the steady droning of moving car sounds and light patterns overhead simulating the experience of riding in a moving vehicle on a highway, with street lights rhythmically passing overhead. |
