Calm Sleep Reviews

I love Calm and am a lifetime subscriber. So I was naturally drawn to try the new sleep app, and, regrettably, I am disappointed. CalmSleep feels clunky and restrictive, and doesn’t seem to reflect reality, despite the pretty analytics animation.
I wonder if the creators had considered/would be open to including more features to allow users to mark off and personalize daily suggestions: -ability to dismiss a suggestion if doesn’t seem relevant and choose a different one from a short list of 3-5,
-ability to mark off items later in the day (“morning” prompts are no longer available at 9:00am),
-ability to dismiss suggestions for one day or forever,
-ability to connect to the main Calm app and take into account the sessions completed there on the same day (don’t suggest a 12 min sound healing if I just did 25 min in the other app, etc.)

I did like CalmSleep but didn’t make time to use it to justify paying for it. Cancellation is extremely difficult as you cannot cancel through CalmSleep nor on their website. Currently trying to work with Apple to get a refund as a subscription does not show up in my account so I had no way to cancel before the free trial ended.

Note: I’m a HUGE fan of Calm. I use CalmSleep daily and listen to 1-4 sleep stories each night. I’m a paid subscriber of the main app, and just got the Calm sleep app.

Sleep App Pros:
- faster app speed across the board. Speed/latency is my biggest complaint with the standard Calm app.
- Same great content from Calm: could not function without those stories.

Cons: Hate the steps you need to “check off” each day. I get it, but I’m stressed and can’t sleep cause of my existing To Do list - I don’t want to add more things to it. All the tips are good but adding another task for me to complete isn’t helpful.
Also: When am I supposed to use CalmSleep vs the regular app?

Been a fan of calm and especially their sleep stories for a while now but WOW I love how I not only get some of my favorite sleep stories here but I get tracking and a whole daily catered plan to help me sleep better. I’ve tried a few sleeping apps and most focus on prep for night starting in the evening, but I really enjoy how CalmSleep focuses on a holistic approach aiming to reduce stress in the morning while giving you the tools to wind down in the evening.

Started using this new app from Calm last week. Total game changer helping me to build a routine.

Clean and streamlined experience that works. Also tracks a bunch of sleep metrics that helps me prepare throughout the day to sleep better

CalmSleep has been a great way to keep track of and help my sleep while being really pretty at the same time!

I really like CalmSleep from Calm. It prompts me to do little tasks to help me unwind and relax. I like that it keeps me focused on making sure I follow an easy bedtime routine. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Awesome app! I still love listening to my sleep stories at bedtime, but really enjoying completing my daily plan during the day to set myself up for good sleep. Kudos to the Calm team for another great app!

I’ve been using this every night and it works for both myself and kids. I never make it to the end of a sleep story because I’m already asleep! 🥱💤

Thanks to the soothing soundscapes and dreamy sleep stories, I always pass out in a matter of minutes. Easy, breezy navigation and a generally delightful user experience. 5 twinkling stars from this well-rested reviewer.

I always saw the SNL skits about Calm celebrity sleep stories gone wrong - but wow they are actually really good! I had LeVar Friggin’ Geordi LaForge Burton reading a story to me traveling through our solar system and I didn’t make it past Mars before I was fast asleep.

Between the sleep tracking, tips, and sleep stories made to put you to sleep and keep it that way I am able to cut out my bedtime screen time and doom scrolling which used to me up into the wee hours.

I have a really hard time sleeping. But I tried this last night and the tips were helpful to get ready for sleep. I used a piano sound to play through the night and I slept all night long! I usually wake up in the middle of the night. Thank you Calm Sleep!

All of my favorite sleep stories from the original app are here in this new one, but I’m also loving all the new features that the new calm sleep app has, being able to follow an easy plan during the day to help me sleep better later is a game changer.

Everyday I go to bed around 2 am, I turn the tv on and watch shows/movies for an additional hour trying to fall asleep. I’ve tried several nigh-time teas, magnesium supplements, and melatonin and nothing has helped my severe insomnia, until Calm Sleep! I can finally sleep, no tv, no supplements!!! I wake up energized and rested! Mind blowing amazing!

I’m so used to using the Calm app to listen to their audio library, but this takes my life into consideration. It provides actions I can take during the day and at night before going to sleep that help me sleep better. This is so much better than just listening to their great audio products.

The Calm Sleep app is honestly one of the best sleep apps I’ve tried. It really helps me relax and unwind before bed with its soothing sounds, calming music, and peaceful sleep stories. The voice narrations are comforting, and the background sounds make it easy to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. I also like how simple and relaxing the design of CalmSleep is, it feels peaceful the moment you open it.

I often have a hard time clearing my thoughts at night and it makes it hard for me to fall asleep. I’ve wanted to avoid taking any drugs for my insomnia so I’ve tested a few sleep apps. Of the few I’ve tried this one has by far the best stuff to listen to that helps distract my thoughts and let me fall asleep. I love the bedtime story from Matthew McConaughey and the relaxing piano music. Thanks Calm for helping me wake up feeling a little bit better.

CalmSleep name says it all. It makes me feel calm and puts me to sleep when I have trouble falling asleep. The stories work 🤌
