Insomnia Coach

I was skeptical at first of staying up later to sleep better. Three weeks in and I am sleeping more efficiently. 4 stars because I cannot use some of the tools via bluetooth earbuds. Wired work or phone’s speaker

My doctor recommended this app to me. It has helped me be more disciplined about my sleep efficiency and improve my sleep drive. I learned that it’s okay to wake up a bunch in the night as long as you go back to sleep - which is great because I never sleep straight through the night. I wish there was a way in the sleep diary to indicate that I got out of bed in the middle of the night after being awake more than 15 minutes. All I can enter is how long I was awake and the app assumes I was in bed that whole time and chides me for it. Otherwise I like all the features of the app.

I have a set of Bose headphones and the audio doesn’t play through them. All other apps I have the sound plays as it should through them. How to get this fixed?

I suddenly began having issues staying asleep after Covid. Sometimes I would go 2-3 days without sleeping at all and rarely slept more than 6 hours per night. This went on for 5 months prior to finding this app. Lack of sleep made me feel miserable, and I began having anxiety and panic attacks. I consulted my doctor who prescribed Trazodone which didn’t help me sleep any better and made me feel even worse the next day. I tried to get an appointment with sleep clinics, counselors, therapists, etc and all told me they weren’t taking new patients. I was so desperate for help and sleep and feeling so terrible. I found this app and did not have high hopes that it could help me. I was amazed at how well it worked. After getting through the first week of logging my sleep schedule, the sleep coach made sleep and wake time recommendations. I was going to sleep, staying asleep, and feeling 100% better within 2 days. It was amazing, and I am so thankful for this VA program! I truly feel like it saved my life. Lack of sleep had taken me to a very dark place. Thank you to the developers of this app for providing a way for people with chronic insomnia to help themselves.

This is an app to help people with insomnia and even has exercises to use at night if we can’t sleep, yet there is no option to make the screen backgrounds black within the app. So we have this bright white background blaring light into our eyes which we know wakes up the brain. That is counterproductive. Please fix!

Please fix the compatibility with wireless headphones. It's frustrating not to be able to use it whenever/wherever I need it. The tools are beneficial to my fight with insomnia, BUT could be better with wireless compatibility.

Sleep is THE most important thing, it should be everyone’s first priority. This app is free and it can help you find patterns / problems through logging your sleep- It only needs 7 days of data in order to provide helpful recommendations. Under the tools tab, you can also find various tips, and there are even guided meditation/relaxation activities. The app’s not perfect but it’s a good solid option.

It is very useful for if your concerned about having Insomnia. I was concerned about if I had it so that was the main reason why I downloaded the app. I would recommend fixing the thing in the sleep diary because I think there is a bug. This app is very educational with lots of accurate information. If you are concerned about Insomnia or trying to go to sleep then this app is a great fit for you.

It would be a great help if the app would sync between devices (IPAD and IPhone. What apps these days don’t allow you to sign in and sync between devices.

There’s no overall comprehensive overview of how this app works and what the exercises are for each week. As a survivor, I can’t start something opaque like that, I have to know what all the requirements will be before I can commit to putting myself through that.
