Sleepio Reviews

I completed the intro session but can’t move forward in Sleepio because it says I haven’t completed it. Every time I click resume it starts over. I don’t want to listen to 15 minutes of the guy talking again! Why is there no skip or at least a fast forward option?

Too many glitches even after updating Sleepio . The sessions freeze and don’t allow you to move forward. Terrible

For some idiotic reason, it won't let you create an account unless it's covered by your insurance plan. I'm willing to pay out of pocket. This is discrimination, pure and simple. Or else stupidity.

Sleepio ’s interface makes you think you can “resume” lessons, but you can’t and everytime it will just play the lesson from the beginning which is a waste of time considering the videos have nearly zero information content.

Also it seems hellbent on assuming your sleep problems result from thinking about not falling sleep - which is clearly not the case for me - and no matter what answer you provide to its surveys, it will still hold that assumption, which is frustrating because it’s clearly not what I asked for.

Some of the techniques are useful but all of this could have been a 7-minute video really.

After reading Sleepyhead, I was excited to try Sleepio. Im super bummed it’s currently not available to me. 😭

My first impression, it doesn’t have iWatch support. Will update my review after sometime.

You can’t use Sleepio without creating an account. When I tried to create one, I was simply told to enter my email address if I was interested in taking part in some sort of research. No option to actually create any account for Sleepio , which was really irritating. Going to have to search for different sleep apps even though the reviews here seemed promising.

Only syncs to a Fitbit. Who has time to manually enter their sleep patterns everyday? For the price of the ap it should sync to Apple or come with a free Fitbit.

It won’t let me progress to the next session even though I’ve watched session 2 FIVE times all the at through. I always wait a full week and then rewatch. I’ve done this over and over and over. It’s been almost a month and I can’t access the next session.

I do not understand the business model here. I can’t sleep so I’d like to use Sleepio . Unfortunately you have to be a member of some exclusive club of companies. Total fail.

I downloaded Sleepio as it was highly recommended but I am unable to create an account. The sign in page button that says “create account” is non functioning and there is no way to do so through the website either as far as I can tell.

When trying to listen to one of the fall asleep now audio guides, which are multiple minutes long my phone screen goes dark and the audio stops. Pretty unhelpful as I can’t focus on the guide.

Dear developers

I like the idea of Sleepio but after a couple days I’m about to quit because of poor usability.

The issue is with the scrolling wheel user interface when selecting the times in Sleep Diary.

1) the times are always presented in the wrong order - for wake up time you have to start with midnight and scroll scroll scroll scroll, going backwards through the day to find the morning slot. For bedtime, it’s the opposite you have to scroll forward from the morning. So much scrolling!!!

2) when scrolling that dial, on the iPhone, the scrolling action keeps interfering with iOS gestures and it keeps bringing up Sleepio switcher mode. So frustrating!

Please get rid of this scrolling time selection ASAP. We don’t want to spend 20 minutes trying to enter in our sleep diary in the morning - you told me it’s only supposed to take 1 minute from my day…

Otherwise Sleepio looks great!

I like Sleepio but it would be so much better if it supported Apple Watch sync. It only syncs with Fitbit.

I was hoping for shift work and continuous change in my bed time and how to handle it.

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.

I am sleeping so much better. I’ve really learned a lot from this class.

I’m in week 5. I was very skeptical but was encouraged by my doctor to try Sleepio. The weeks progressively teach new skills. I have already been trained in Mindfulness and thought Sleepio couldn’t teach me anything. Boy, I was wrong. It has been enlightening, especially week 4. I did get sick and had to pause the lessons, but it was easy and flexible. The this app staff answer any questions quickly and are extremely helpful. I am understanding the sleep process (and I’m in the medical field). TRY Sleepio— there are no medications and no side effects!!! What have you got to loose, except your sleep!

this app Has helped me understand the moments when I can’t sleep and how not to stress over them

I love this app. It’s easy and fun to use, and has made a real impact on my sleep for the better. I learned a bunch of techniques that will help me manage my sleep issues going forward.

Thank you, this app team!

Just learning the information has tweaked my mind enough to improve my sleep!! When I actually incorporate the techniques it’s amazing how my sleep efficiency improved. I haven’t sleep his well, without interruptions, in 10 years!! this app calculates my sleep efficiency, therefore, showing me the mathematical outcome of my sleep. I highly recommend Sleepio !

Cannot recommend this enough. I thought I knew a lot about sleep and I was doing the right stuff. With a few incremental changes to my sleep routine and a TON of behavioral change, last night I closed my eyes at bedtime and didn’t wake up until morning. Amazing! I finished the 6 wk course about a week ago. My improved sleep is definitely 100% attributed to this app. Really fantastic education and encouragement for meaning behavioral changes.

Sleepio 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 Sleepio 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.
