The first issue I encountered was that I had little control over the sleep data I imported. My data was mostly from years ago when I was dealing with health issues, as I just recently started wearing my Apple Watch again. My sleep needs were very different then than they are now so it skewed the sleep need, energy graph, etc.
Then I noticed that the app was telling me to wake up much later than I need to for work. I could not find a way to tell the app when I needed to wake up so it could adjust my recommendations. If there is a way to do this, it needs to be much more accessible.
Finally, the energy graph was INCREDIBLY inaccurate, basically the opposite of what’s true for me. Part of this has to do with medication that alters my energy levels and part of it is just being different than the average human.

Overall, there needs to be more options to customize your data and recommendations. There also needs to be more data collected so that the app can account for things like being neurodivergent, mental health issues, etc. For example, the algorithm should be able to identify sleep patterns consistent with depressive episodes, so data doesn’t get skewed by periods when a user may sleep significantly more, but not as a result of their biological sleep schedule

I started working graveyard a month ago and figured I would give this app a shot. It synced all of my sleep data from my health app. Shows I go to sleep between 3-4pm and wake up at 11pm. But it keeps showing my melatonin window is 11:57 pm. I’ve manually set my sleep hours on the energy tab and now it’s showing I only have my energy cycle from 11-12pm and then it just flatlines…I have a peak at 11:00, grogginess as 11:20, peak at 11:40, and melatonin at 11:50.
Not sure why they can’t use their normal algorithm and just adjust it 8 hours back to give me some results. But it’s non functioning for people who don’t sleep from 11-7pm.
My wife also tried it and has work at 5am so sleeps from 8:00-4:00am and has a similar issue. Has her whole day cycle of energy in a short hour span.
I feel this app just gives similar results to everyone who sleeps at normal times and it glitches when you sleep at other times.
I use AutoSleep and it may not have the most, but it’s free and it works no matter when you sleep. Plus it’s free unlike this $60 a year for generic results that fail when you are out of the norm

I love the idea of this app, but the execution makes it obnoxious to use for people who are regularly up working late and not constantly on their phones. It estimates when you sleep based on when you put your phone down for a long period of time at night—which means if I work from 10pm to 4am and then check my phone before going to sleep, the app decides I went to sleep at 10 and woke up at 4. I have to check every day to see if the times are wildly off (which they often are). Sometimes I’m able to manually enter the right times, but sometimes it won’t let me. This morning I went to sleep around 5:30 and it wouldn’t let me enter anything past 4am. It also doesn’t have a way to record your whole night of sleep if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night and check your phone before going back to sleep; you have to manually adjust. I finally gave up and deleted the app. I think it would work better if I used Sleep Cycle every night, but I don’t have an outlet near my side of the bed and don’t want to go to the hassle of charging my phone on a portable charger every single night just to get Rise to work. For a paid app it should be better with this.
