Easy to use and helped me discover and understand my sleep patterns, giving me insight into my behaviors. With the help of some good study and consulting with a sleep therapist, along with other good health practices, this app assists me in tracking, improving and maintaining good sleep hygiene and better overall health. In my mid to late 50s, I’ve cultivated a more pleasant and less stressful life by giving up more abusive aerobic and anaerobic practices in favor of sustainable stretching and gardening, to include lots of push lawn mowing and weeding, augmented by seasonal yoga, golf, swimming, bicycling and handyman work. The cumulative effect is increased flexibility and decreased wear and tear on tendons, ligaments and cartilage along with lower blood pressure and pulse rate. Quality sleep is a big part of my overall improved health: mental, physical, emotional.

I have used this app for a year, and it had some flaws but was helpful. The old version looked old school, but it worked. The new one is awful and full of bugs. Data export no longer works, which makes the app useless: I cannot read charts with no data point and with data all smushed into a tiny screen. When typing into the notes, the app doesn’t automatically capitalize anymore. If you create your notes in a different app and copy/paste, you have to give the app permission to paste EVERY time instead of just allowing it in settings. Saving an entry no longer shows you your sleep stats; you have to search for them instead. The app creates duplicates if you try to edit an entry. All of these are new issues since you tried to fix a perfectly good app! Please fix!! The one issue I had with the old app is that creating an entry requires that you focus on the sleep issues instead of on good quality sleep. You need to know how many times you wake and for how long, as well as what time you finally awoke. People who struggle with insomnia should not be focusing on these things. Developers, please create a sync to a sleep device that will automatically record this data!

I’ve been using this for several months on my own as I’m not affiliated with the VA. I can not set the sleep prescription and when I try it has me waking and going to sleep at 12 am. On the home page I try to set the sleep prescription and am unable as I am told my sleep percentages are too low for the past week and I need to see a provider. We’re told not to look at the time we wake, but this is required for the tracking (how long were you awake). I can only see one week of data on the graph and so am unable to track longer periods of time to show patterns to the person who is trying to help me with sleep. So, the major functions of your ap are flawed. Being a mental health professional, I find the helps to be a very nice addition, but know that some of them aren’t appropriate for chronic insomnia. Sadly, I’m unable to find a compatible program that would allow we to download/view the sleep tracker information to share with a provider. This ap needs major work, but is the best free one I’ve found to be available.

A free application with no ads! Yay for that! On a basic level it’s a really great application, providing opportunities to look at sleep and factors surrounding sleep differently. With a new view comes the chance to make changes to improve sleep and sleep satisfaction. I use this in conjunction with another app that helps track my sleep, which helps give me some of the info needed for my sleep diary. I have not started using several of the tools offered, but enjoy the sleep diary and graphs. I recommend this application to others. Thank you to the VA for making this widely available.* Note to developer: Bug fix needed on the graphs. The numbers along the graph axis are not match up with the information put in the sleep diary. Ex. Went to bed at 0200h, but matching the data point to the left axis looks like I actually went to bed at 0300h. Otherwise graph points seem accurate relative to one another.
