mySleepButton Reviews

I really do like mySleepButton, it's a good concept and it does help put me to sleep. However, there are different packages you can purchase for how you want to fall asleep, they have to be downloaded for you to use them. They undownload themselves everyday and it prompts you to rebuy it every time you try to use it again. Therefore you have to redownload it every night, super annoying and it seems like they want to trick you into buying it multiple times.

I bought the synthetic voice option since it’s a little cheaper, and regretted it almost instantly. It’s so distracting it actually keeps me awake! Some words are so badly mangled I can’t understand them at all, others are pronounced so hilariously wrong I end up giggling into my pillow. Either way, hard to focus! I believe mySleepButton does work - the free trial was great - but sadly I just wasted my money on an unusable version of it.

I like mySleepButton; it works. It puts me to speed. BUT, I find I have to constantly adjust the volume as the recorded words seem to be at different levels of loudness. mySleepButton will be working in that after a few minutes I’m out in a state where I’m about to head off to sleep, but the next works will be mound enough to basically startle me enough so I’m very awake again. I think If when recording the words the person used a mike baffle it would alleviate this issue.

This is the first sleep app that has worked for me and I’ve tried many. I often have racing thoughts at night that keep me awake, but mySleepButton and this method allow me to turn them off enough to fall asleep. It’s amazing to say the least- I tell everyone about it. I’ve been having two issues, however. I haven’t been unable to figure out why, but for the last few nights, the sound stops before the timer is even halfway through. I can’t hear any words or scenes but if I look at my phone I can see the timer still counting down. Also, if I close mySleepButton (because I have to get up or something) and then try to start again, the timer begins at where I left off instead of resetting itself. So, if I stopped it with 12 minutes left, closed mySleepButton and restarted it again I’d only have 12 minutes on the timer instead of 20. I’ve read that some people have to restore their purchases every night so I’ll try that tonight, but it’d be ideal if mySleepButton worked every time without having to do so.

I have a hard time shutting my brain off when it’s time to go to sleep. While most apps attempt to create a relaxing environment with sounds of birds or rain, mySleepButton helps by distracting you with words to deter your thoughts in varying directions. It’s an interesting concept that works intermittently for me. Definitely worth a try if you’re having a hard time falling asleep.

I have a rare and severe circadian rhythm sleep disorder and a prolapsed bladder that makes me get up every two hours to pee. mySleepButton has been life changing for me. I get up to pee, lay back down, tap the button and start thinking about earmuffs and rivers and trees and other ordinary things, one every seven seconds, and after fewer than a dozen things, I'm asleep again.

I also am on the aphantasia spectrum (I am not able to make pictures in my head) so I was afraid mySleepButton wouldn't work for me, but it does. I just let the objects appear in whatever senses are available to engage with it. If the word is rose, I feel soft petals against my face as I smell the rose. If the word is river, I hear rushing water and feel it cold against my feet. If the word is earmuffs, I feel them soft against my ears and hear the world muffled. You don't have to be able to visualize the things for mySleepButton to work.

I've always taken an hour or so to fall asleep. This made my life hell when my baby woke up once an hour. Even then, with extreme sleep deprivation, it still took me an hour to fall asleep. With mySleepButton, I fall asleep in 10 minutes. It's amazing how well it works. It's like it flips the "off" switch in my brain.

I suffer from very bad insomnia. When I first tried mySleepButton I fell asleep within a few minutes. I thought it was just a fluke so when I used it the next night, I listened to it and thought to myself that it doesn’t work. The funny thing is I was asleep within a few minutes. This really works!!!

I absolutely love mySleepButton, I always feel like it isn’t working, and then I am asleep. I just wish all of the voices and different item themes that you listen to didn’t cost money. I would gladly pay for mySleepButton then to buy it in mySleepButton . It always does EXACTLY what I want it to do for me. It’s really great at its job.

This clever technique often does the trick when other apps do not.I have trouble turning off the churning thoughts and worries and this often works better even than sleep stories or meditative apps. As another reviewer said, it’s best to pay a little more and get the natural voice.

I have never had an issue until the most recent iOS update. I even tried to purchase another pack, only for it to never work. I didn’t realize how much I relied on mySleepButton until I couldn’t use it! Been checking multiple times a day for an update, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I travel for work in many different time zones so it is often hard for me to relax in a new hotel and fall asleep. I Read about mySleepButton in a online magazine thought I try and so glad I did. It is amazing how the word and images distract my mind from my work or personal life thoughts that keep me from falling asleep. So glad I downloaded mySleepButton!

I’ve never been able to fall asleep within 15 minutes of laying down. That being said I would have to get in bed 30 minutes before I would want to go to sleep. mySleepButton changed that. I use it every night and it has never failed. Sometimes I'm asleep within 5 minutes. It’s the BEST.

For years I have struggled with falling asleep and then falling back asleep if I awake in the middle of the night. mySleepButton does the trick every single time. I was even able to stop taking melatonin. It’s a simple app, but extremely effective. I learned about mySleepButton indirectly in a CNN article on cognitive shuffling. It costs nothing for you to try.

I have had difficulties falling asleep all of my life because my brain is just too active. Having tried a multitude of different medications, apps and various methods This the *only* one I have found to consistently work for me. Somehow my body fights even prescription medications and I end up still being awake for hours. I’ve tried apps like calm, but my brain goes into ADD overdrive and starts asking questions about the stories or ends up spiraling into odd tangents. I have never encountered anything quite like this solution and recommend it to anyone who has an overactive mind when trying to get to sleep

I usually fall asleep quickly, but about one night out of every ten, my brain is whirling with work issues, family concerns, the chaotic state of the world, etc etc etc. When it looks like it’s going to be one of those nights, this app is my go-to remedy for calming my overactive brain and putting me into a good place to drift off to dreamland. It’s saved me from many a sleepless night.

Bonus points to CogSci Apps for great customer support when a recent iOS update caused this app to stop working. They kept me in the loop via direct emails and let me know when the relevant update was published to mySleepButton Store. Kudos!

Before mySleepButton I would often struggle with racing thoughts at bedtime. Constant fear and anxiety about what was going to happen or all of the things I had done wrong that day. It would keep me up fearing how much time I’d get to sleep before the next day.

Then I found mySleepButton. I’m not even sure how but once I started using it, it became a sure fire way to fall asleep within ten minutes. I didn’t think that was possible for me! I used to lie awake for hours!!

I’ve been a loyal user for years and thought I should leave a positive review that hopefully helps someone else.

mySleepButton has revolutionized my ability to fall asleep. Distracting my mind using the mental images suggested in the “Scenes” pack has proven itself to be a perfect sleep induction strategy. I’m not only falling asleep more quickly, but am able to get back to sleep in the middle of the night with greater ease than I have in years. The female voice describing the scenes is pleasant and easy to understand. The “Simple Things” pack is a great addition to “Scenes” to switch things up. This outstanding app is fully supported up by its developer who has been extraordinarily helpful. I highly recommend this application to anyone who struggles with insomnia.

I have a very hard time falling asleep because I can’t stop my mind from wandering off or from racing with thoughts about the day or what I need to get done tomorrow. But mySleepButton has significantly helped me to stop my mind from keeping me awake for hours. I use it every night without fail, and fall asleep before the time is up. I like how you can choose the amount of time you want the images to play for and the time between images. Just wish there was a way to change them up so I’m not imagining the same images over and over and get used to them. Very grateful to the creators of mySleepButton.

I can be very tired but when my head hits the pillow, my mind seems to worry and fret about every issue in my life. mySleepButton makes you think about the object that was read, for 7 seconds and then goes to something else to think about. It beats my brain at its own game. Bravo !
