SleepSpace Reviews

I feel like I wasted money on investing in this scammy app and its smart bed. The product page lies and says that the smart bed collects micro motion data, but when you talk to support and turn of health app integration you see that SleepSpace itself is collecting crappy data and passing other data sources off as its own. SleepSpace marketing also lies and suggests filling out the sleep survey and daily sleep journals but then the survey is a two-bit Facebook knockoff of a sleep chronotype and you can’t utilize both wearable data and journal data at the same time. Finally, because I don’t allow it Health app data I see that it doesn’t upload its own sleep data to your online profile where I should be able to see charts of how my sleep is doing over the month I’ve been using it. Instead it says “no data” indicating to me that it is again trying to siphon your Health app data from other sources and pass it off as its own data.

Update: I gave it a second chance. Night #1 it worked. Night #2 it didn’t crash, but it also didn’t save the data. Night #3 it did the same thing as my first try: crashed and now SleepSpace is unusable again. It’s too bad because the deep sleep stimulator is a great idea. I’ll just have to buy a thousand crickets.

I was excited to get started and induce some delta wave activity. I normally sleep in silence with only the sounds of nature like owls and coyote. I suffered through my first night of sleep. When I woke up and told SleepSpace I was done sleeping, it crashed while it was apparently analyzing and saving the sleep record. Now when if I try to view sleep scores, SleepSpace crashes every time. So I’ll probably have to delete SleepSpace to clear this. I’m debating on whether I’ll give it a second chance because for what it does, relative to other apps out there, the subscription is twice as high and has half the features.

I’m amazed SleepSpace has such a high rating. It is so buggy! It has a lot of great features but nothing seemed to work properly. Didn’t import/incorporate data from my apply watch. I couldn’t do the daily sleep diary first thing in the morning (as they suggest), but once they started sending notifications for me to do it, they would keep coming ALL day, even after I had completed it.
I wasn’t excited about the fact that they tell you that the sleep coach and customer support is an AI bot (Dr Snooze), yet even that was a let down! The one big benefit from that should at least be the fact that it’s available 24/7 (as they state), but each time I tried to connect with it, the reply was that someone would email me within a few hours- they never did.
There were lots of other glitches, but I’m TOO TIRED to write it all out! But if anyone at SleepSpace is reading this, please feel free to reach out! SleepSpace has a lot of great intentions and I’d love to see the tech behind it worked out.
The one feature that worked which I really enjoyed was the ability to set a soundscape to help me wind down, and then switch to a different one to play throughout the night. That was great, but I’m not going to pay the full subscription fee just for that.

The good news is that the functions of SleepSpace that relate to sleep itself are wonderful. Everything from falling asleep programs, noise masking, deep sleep stimulation , and wakeup alarms are automated in an easy to use and integrated package that replaces three of my earlier apps.

The bad news is that the sleep tracking is pretty much third rate and cannot compete with other iOS sleep tracking apps. There is no visible tracking of deep versus restless sleep, few useful stats, no way to incorporate naps, and worst of all it really drains your battery life because I believe it is tracking your heart rate every second.

Given the above, I think the price is way too high for the monthly subscription. So, either the sleep tracking needs to be fixed/improved greatly or the price should come down. (I have not yet taken advantage of the live "sleep coaching" features so no idea if this adds value.)

Another plus is that the dev is highly responsive in providing support.

I love the science behind SleepSpace and all the bells and whistles and I wish I could use them but sadly, no. For some reason there is no fade or gentle transition between the short falling asleep sound track and the all night sleep track so it’s just this abrupt stop of the first track and then an abrupt, harsh, full volume start of the next track. It is so startling that my heart rate spikes and all relaxation I’d been accumulating through the first track is totally wiped out. Sure I could just opt not to use the falling asleep track, but I can do that with any other sleep app. If they could correct this glaring oversight, this would be my one and only sleep app and I’d give it 5 stars.

The unique feature about this sleep app is it has a ‘sound mask’ for deeper sleep and to block out sounds and a ‘dream enhancer’ which helps you remember events from the day (eg. playing a thunderstorm sound while learning something during the day then playing the same sound during sleep).

I didn’t use the dream enhancer to memorise anything but had the most vivid dream last night and remember more details than usual!

Only thing is it doesn’t autotrack sleep but I guess you want to determine when to start and stop the above sound features.

I need to determine the quality of my sleep on a nightly basis. I have a number of illnesses and I need to know if it’s a sleep issue first. If it’s not a sleep issue then I know I need to consult a doctor. Saves me a number of doctor appointments.

There is an issue between this app and MyAir however. The quality of my sleep does not match which makes me wonder if I didn’t set up both apps correctly , there’s a user error or there’s a bug in one or both apps.

Good product!

SleepSpace is a game changer if you’re trying to optimize your sleep. I had to play with it a little for tracking purposes but once I got the phone positioned correctly at night I started getting good data and am able to see what changes I’m making that are working and which ones aren’t. The alarm function is nice too because I’m not jolted awake. Overall it doesn’t exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price.

SleepSpace definitely improves my sleep quality. They are very good at listening to user feedback, too.

The bells and whistles like sleep analysis and room noise monitoring don’t work when my phone is in flight mode, unfortunately. In fact, I shut off all the electricity in my home, except for the refrigerator, when I sleep. That’s how serious I am about getting good sleep and avoiding EMF exposure when I’m sleeping.

Sonic Sleep Coach gets five stars getting quality sleep is priceless and it has taken my sleep to the next level.

Thank you sleep space you have help me out of a really bad ordeal of insomnia. As working at the hospital and having your shifts all over the place, in retirement,I couldn’t sleep no more than 2 to 3 hours in a row. Listening to Dr. Dan in the A. I. sleep bot that comes along with this app, I got all the answers at my fingertips and now I’m sleeping around seven hours each night now and I want to thank everyone especially Dan for my good sleep habits now for it makes me happy when I’m well rested :-)

I began using the Oura ring to get data on my sleep. However, when I added this app it truly took me to a new level. I am now getting more deep sleep and better quality sleep than I ever have in my life. SleepSpace is life-changing and anyone that has sleep issues should use it to hack their sleep to improve the quality of their sleep and life! The staff has been outstanding at following up and helping me continue to explore new ways to improve my sleep quality! Dan Higgins

I have been tracking my sleep for about 7 months using another app that I really like. However, I read about SleepSpace in a book and I decided to try it out. I wear a sleep mask with Bluetooth speakers built into it and I like the integration SleepSpace has with being able to play sounds based based on what level of sleep I am in. I’ve only been using SleepSpace for a few days but I am enjoying it and will write an extended review after I have used it longer.

I’ve started to take my health seriously and have been hearing on a lot of all of my favorite Podcasts lately that sufficient nightly sleep is crucial for everything in our health- from good memory to muscular regeneration.

SleepSpace basically helped me analyze then optimize my own personal sleep pattern so that I started feeling more energized in the mornings. I think I really felt the energy/alertness after about 2-3 weeks.

Overall- I’d recommend to anyone who takes their night time seriously and is willing to put in the effort to make the most of each night’s rest.

I have used many sleep apps, and this one delivers. I have a Ultra 2 and the apps integration is nice, when you wind down or meditate, it gives slight taps on wrist that lowers heart rate very effectively. I commute 40 miles to and from work, I pretty much go straight to bed due to working late.

I used the Night Yoga Nidra for winding down and fall asleep in minutes after the session. That paired with pink noise keeps me asleep all night. I wake up to Morning Yoga Nidra and I am fired up all day. The high, low, high timing has been very effective in keeping my energy levels up during the day.

I saw the bad reviews and disagree, I have seen nothing but improvements in my sleeping. As an example, one app said I only needed 6 hours of sleep a night. I was constantly dragging trying to get through the day. After one week with SleepSpace it said I needed 7 to 8 hours of sleep, I now sleep a total of 7 hours and 45 minutes a night.

The technical support is excellent, any advice or suggestions are quickly responded to, as well as follow up and feedback.

I have canceled several of the sleep apps I use due to the effectiveness of SleepSpace.

I have been trying to get more deep sleep for a long time and a about a week ago I found SleepSpace this app and I am so happy I did because for the first time I am sleeping deeper. Usually I have 50 minutes of deep sleep and sometimes even less and my deep sleep has increase significantly, one night getting almost 2 hours ( 1 hour and 56 min) of deep sleep. I love the different sound masks they have to block noises and the most important thing is the excellent support team they have. You can get help easy and they respond very fast.

Hi, I most enjoy the power nap setting. It has given me the correct amount of sleep to let me feel refreshed and willing to goon with my evening. I fade in the mid afternoon and the nap mode has taught me to limit my nap time. It helps me a great deal. I am 66 years old and my Family Physician is very impressed with my activity level. I currently lead three exercise classes per week for arthritis sufferers and a Tai chi class each week also. There is no way I could keep up such a schedule if I were not managing my sleep issues. With Sleep Sonic, I am able to do so. Thank you, David Anderson

An amazing tool for anyone struggling with sleep or for those who want to create a proper sleep routine. I’ve not only learned so much about my sleep patterns but SleepSpace has also helped me improve my sleep, which is priceless. In addition to the data and results you are given, this app provides calming sounds and meditations that create an escape from your own mind so you can achieve a deep, peaceful sleep. Thank you to Dr. Gartenberg - who I have been following since his TedTalk - for this wonderful tool and everything he are doing to help us all sleep and live better! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can’t wait to see what he does next !

I’ve been struggling with insomnia for half a year now, and Daniel and his team are amazing. Nothing short of miracle workers even though I just started and I already feel better and I’m already seeing minor improvements in my sleep. I understand this is gonna take some time because it’s a terrible habit I have accumulated but once I spoke with Daniel, I had so much relief and hope that I know that I’ll master my sleep. I highly recommend sleep space because it’s run by extremely professional and well trained and educated people on sleep who know what they’re doing and will get you the results. I’ll write another review once I’ve gotten better. Thank you guys!

I had high expectations since SleepSpace came highly recommended but I’m a bit disappointed. I have a free sleep app that gives me more valuable information about the quality of my sleep than this one. I can’t make the heart rate monitor sync up with SleepSpace . The instructions say to open SleepSpace on my Apple Watch to monitor my heart rate while I sleep but it has not worked once yet. The only things I like about SleepSpace are the ocean waves sounds as I fall asleep, which don’t see to work anymore (only worked the first couple of times I used SleepSpace ) and waking up to positive affirmations which is the only thing that appears to be functioning as expected at this point. Feel like it was a waste of 30 bucks.

I rarely write reviews of apps but I felt it was warranted here. After years of bad sleep, feeling groggy and foggy all day, eating terribly, and the constant energy of a tree sloth, I finally have hope. After two nights of using SleepSpace and following the instructions I woke up with more energy than I have since spiro Agnew was in office. I didn't know who to thank so i wrote this. If anyone is having trouble with sleep it's worth trying out. I'm not saying utensil work for you. But it did for me.
