mySleepButton FAQ
Is mySleepButton free?
Yes, mySleepButton is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is mySleepButton legit?
✅ The mySleepButton app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I have a rare and severe circadian rhythm sleep disorder and a prolapsed bladder that makes me get up every two hours to pee. This app has been life changing for me. I get up to pee, lay back down, tap the button and start thinking about earmuffs and rivers and trees and other ordinary things, one every seven seconds, and after fewer than a dozen things, I'm asleep again.
I also am on the aphantasia spectrum (I am not able to make pictures in my head) so I was afraid this app wouldn't work for me, but it does. I just let the objects appear in whatever senses are available to engage with it. If the word is rose, I feel soft petals against my face as I smell the rose. If the word is river, I hear rushing water and feel it cold against my feet. If the word is earmuffs, I feel them soft against my ears and hear the world muffled. You don't have to be able to visualize the things for this app to work.
It works!
This clever technique often does the trick when other apps do not.I have trouble turning off the churning thoughts and worries and this often works better even than sleep stories or meditative apps. As another reviewer said, it’s best to pay a little more and get the natural voice.
The BEST
I’ve never been able to fall asleep within 15 minutes of laying down. That being said I would have to get in bed 30 minutes before I would want to go to sleep. This app changed that. I use it every night and it has never failed. Sometimes I'm asleep within 5 minutes. It’s the BEST.
Only app that helps me sleep
I have insomnia and anxiety. Sleeping pills don’t work. Usually I just go to sleep when I can’t physically stay awake anymore. But with this app I just fall asleep easily. I hope they continue updating it.
Finally a solution
This app puts me right to bed. After years of chronic insomnia I finally have a solution for sleepless nights. I can’t thank you enough, this app has dramatically improved my life
Best sleep aid
I have a very hard time falling asleep because I can’t stop my mind from wandering off or from racing with thoughts about the day or what I need to get done tomorrow. But this app has significantly helped me to stop my mind from keeping me awake for hours. I use it every night without fail, and fall asleep before the time is up. I like how you can choose the amount of time you want the images to play for and the time between images. Just wish there was a way to change them up so I’m not imagining the same images over and over and get used to them. Very grateful to the creators of this app.
AMAZING APP!
I absolutely love this app, I always feel like it isn’t working, and then I am asleep. I just wish all of the voices and different item themes that you listen to didn’t cost money. I would gladly pay for the app then to buy it in the app. It always does EXACTLY what I want it to do for me. It’s really great at its job.
Poor customer service.
They seem glad to take your money but not at all interested in providing support after they have it.
H
from very bad insomnia. It helps
Works!!!!!
This app works so well every time, unless I’m so distracted I do not listen to it. If I listen to it, I fall asleep. Period.
