- WHAT IS LOÓNA? loóna is the first app that lets you quickly disconnect from a long stressful day and get in the right mood for sleep. - SO, IT'S ANOTHER SLEEP APP, RIGHT? Not exactly. loóna isn’t a list of direct go-to-sleep techniques, but rather a mood-altering app that helps you to stay calm during the day and prepares you emotionally for going to sleep in the evening. - WHY IS BEDTIME MOOD IMPORTANT? Negative emotions we accumulate during the day are processed and consolidated by our brain during sleep making them more difficult to disassociate from when faced again in the future. Moreover, feeling angry, anxious, down, or, the opposite, excited, and elated, is likely to affect latencies to sleep onset and REM-sleep. People mistake it for the symptoms of a sleep disorder, but in reality, they just may be in the wrong mood for sleep. - HOW DOES LOÓNA WORK? From the wake up and during the busy day Loóna will support your emotional states with playlists and immersive stories. Each night you’ll have a recommended escape. An escape is a guided session that combines activity-based relaxation, storytelling, and sounds in a unique way. Complete it to shut the frantic world out, reset your mind, and create the perfect mood for sleep. Loóna saves your escape sessions to your Apple Health app. The upgrade to loóna PLUS provides access to the entire collection of escapes.

For Loóna, the night time is the right time. Part bedtime story, part interactive activity, and all gorgeous, Loóna winds you down with “sleepscapes,” blends of sound, story, and narration designed to soothe your mind at the end of the day. (Think of them as meditative interactive storybooks, or really easy video games.) Sounds are all breezy forests, babbling rivers, and sweetly buzzing insects; activities involve lighting lanterns or calmly coloring in architectural details. As you progress through sleepscapes, you’ll lose yourself in a fairytale kingdom, explore a dark forest, or simply cozy up to a crackling fire. The app’s developer says the goal is to “recreate this safe bubble from your childhood” and that, if all goes to plan, you’ll shut it down well before you’re finished.

My 2nd Review.

As I stated previously in my first review, I am recovering from my near fatal massive stroke that took place just about a year ago on December 19, 2022. I’ve been through so much trauma and chaos that my life has literally been flipped, upside down and then thrown back in the crowd to deal with it head on. It has been a really difficult time for me however, as I stated previously, this app has once again help me reduce my stress And anxiety. I do have one suggestion. Which is I am from the 80s that’s what I was born, 1980, so anything to do with things that took place in the 80s always seems to calm me down. as for example, I can’t recall the exact name of the stories that I listen to on this app, but it was in regards to a boy named, “Matt” which I found to be really relatable. Since that is also my name I would really love to see more stories like those pertaining to things that took place in the 80s such as VHS tapes and the sounds that they make of a VCR going in and out of the VCR and tape players as in cassette tapes. also the sound of rain and a fan I find to be very soothing and relaxing so if that could be worked into a story, somehow, that would be amazing. As well as something to do with the sounds of a incoming snowstorm with light winds as the snow blows and falls down while you can hear the sound of kids playing in the background or stuff like that just for example I’m not really sure how that would work. Just an idea.

I Adore This App.

I never thought I'd be in a position where I wanted to hawk an app, but here I am. Ever since I was a teenager I've had trouble with insomnia. I'll go through periods where it takes two to three hours to fall asleep. I'm tired enough to sleep. That isn't the problem. I just can't seem to switch my brain off long enough to do it. I'll lay there for hours and think about everything under the sun. I downloaded this app one day on a whim. You're not really supposed to lay in bed on your phone so I thought how well could it really work? It looked pretty though. I like pretty things. I loaded it up and there are episodes called sleepscapes that you color in as you're guided by a narrator. I did the first episode, put my phone on the charger and closed my eyes. In ten minutes, I was asleep. I was kind of amazed. I kept doing it every night and it kept working. I'm not sure at all of the specifics but I think it gets your mind to focus on one thing, something relaxing, and allows your brain to shut down enough to actually fall asleep. It got to a point where I didn't need to use it every night. My mind knew it was time to go to bed and it cooperated. If you have an issue like mine then I suggest just giving it a shot. People use it for sleep, for anxiety issues, with varying degrees of success. I don't think it works for everyone who tries it, but it does seem to help a lot of people.

The Best Sleep App Ever!
03/01/2023

It's ok but tiring
This is awesome. I enjoy the immersive stories and coloring to bring the story alive. Each night I can’t wait to open up this app! I fall asleep real fast with this app. It’s funny. Once, I opened the app and loaded a sleepscape and was asleep before it even started! I actually think about it during the day an anticipate the next immersive story. I have favorites as well that I never thought I’d like! I play these over and over again! There are so many immersive stories I have the app for several months now and still haven’t completed them all. More stories get loaded regularly so your never without a sleepscape! You can choose to color a sleepscape with story or a story without coloring and also just music or sounds from the sleepscape. I love it all. If I don’t want to do the sleepscape. I either choose the immersive story alone or one of the music or sounds. I just stuck in my ear buds and listen. But don’t get me wrong… the sleepscape’s are the best. You have simply got to try this app out! It’s really hard to visualize this without trying it. Yes! I do pay for it! It’s that good! And I don’t pay for apps often at all! You will be missing out if you don’t try it our fully! I did the Dragon Shine (free one-great sleepscape by the way but once I payed for the app- I never went back to the dragon shrine! And I LOVED the dragon shrine!) there’s is just so much to EXPLORE!
