Sleepio 17+

I have to admit that I was not expecting something with a cute cartoon character to offer real, substantial help for my insomnia. I’ve had trouble sleeping for at least the last 10 years or so — and have tried everything under the Sun. I go through these short spurts where I decide to try something new again — and as luck would have it, I got a mailer saying that my insurance covers this new app treatment.

Before using this, you should appreciate that it takes work. It’s not a magic solution. But they teach you techniques that seriously work. My favorites are paradoxical thinking and sleep scheduling.

Paradoxical thinking really surprised me. I think it was in week 4. Sleep scheduling is really hard - but it seriously made a big difference.

My main feedback on this is that I didn’t find the first two weeks as helpful. I’m glad that I stuck with it because week 3 is when I learned sleep scheduling. I think that made the biggest difference. So if I hadn’t stuck with it, I may have not gotten o the part that helped the most.

This app requires discipline. When I am able to exercise the willpower to follow its guidance, my sleep is greatly improved. I have done some backsliding. But then I see that problems result.
Now, I am following the guidance and my total average sleep per week is increasing between five and 15 minutes. Also, it is nearly always uninterrupted sleep. I have been using the app for six months. It is not a magic bullet quick fix. It requires commitment and consistency.
I have gone from sleeping maybe four hours a night with interruptions to sleeping over seven hours, almost never awakening.
I never could have done this alone. Thank you.

For the last year, maybe more, I’ve had a really tough time *staying* asleep. I don’t think I have the typical sort of insomnia, but my nighttime sleep has been more like a nap - I wake up after 3-4 hours of sleep and absolutely cannot go back to bed. A friend turned me on to this after they got it through their employer - it has been super helpful in learning and putting into practice tools that can help me fall back to sleep rather than staying awake the rest of the night doomscrolling online or tossing and turning endlessly. I also really like that I don’t need to rely on sleep aid medications, either.
