Ryan Reynolds talked openly about his daughter with wife, Blake Lively, and how she isn’t getting much sleep.

Their daughter, rumored to be named James, is “allergic” to sleep, Reynolds joked while on he Tonight Show.

"We think that she thinks she's protecting us from the sleep monsters. Like, 'Oh, I've got to keep them up or the sleep monsters will get them,’” he continued, E! Online reports.

He did find one thing that works, though and that’s Baby Einstein. He compared it to “horse tranquilizer.” He did admit it doesn’t always work on her, but always works with him.

“I could go down on a lit stove,” he said.

After rumors the baby’s name is Violet, it was revealed as James last month.

Reynolds and Lively, who tied the knot in 2012, welcomed their first child in January.
