Kind of creepy
I only tried the stories of this app (did not get to the soundscapes and meditations before my free trial ran out) and many of them had the type of content I like (fairytale, magic, woodland-type) but unfortunately some of the stories were too creepy and disturbing for me and while I fell asleep fast most of the time, some of the stories were just too disturbing to the point that they disrupted my sleep. When the trial ran out, I transitioned to the free trial on the Moshi app and wasn’t as pleased with the content of the stories (not as many stories about fairies and woodland magic, as well as a different story-telling style where it doesn’t slow down as much in the end) but they are much more peaceful and free of disturbing content that I always slept well with the Moshi stories and decided to purchase the Moshi subscription over the Sleepiest one. I appreciate the company making an app gearing their stories towards an adult audience, but a doll who has a tear in her head that her thoughts can leak out of is just too creepy for bedtime. I also enjoy the meditations and soundscapes of the Moshi app (and they help my dog calm down too) but I cannot compare them to the ones in Sleepiest because I didn’t try them there. All in all, if you’re not squeamish then get this app but if you’re sensitive then get the G-rated gentle kiddos version.

Hey there, we're a little confused about what stories you've been listening 😄. When we launched we used some older titles but now the vast majority of our stories are created in house and I can assure you that there is never anything like described above. Maybe come back and give us a try some time. Best, Hayden - CEO at Sleepiest 💜🐨
Frustrated
I made the mistake of doing a free trial of this app. It was okay, but I wasn’t loving it a lot, so I soon discontinued using it and it slipped to the back of my mind. I acknowledge that I should have been more on top of cancelling right away, but I made a mistake and forgot until the morning after I was charged - charged for a FULL YEAR! I emailed customer service right away, and I received no response. Not even an acknowledgement of my message or someone redirecting me to the proper channel - just nothing. I proceeded to send four additional emails over several weeks, and still no response at all. I eventually learned through other sources that I needed to contact Apple support about this matter (which seems like it could have been made more clear upfront), which I then did. I was told by Apple support that this particular purchase was non-refundable. It was not even possible to reduce the charge. Mind you - I had not even so much as logged into this app since before the paid subscription period started. So I guess one way to make money is to unwaveringly charge mildly forgetful people for a FULL YEAR for a product they are not even using. I am highly unimpressed with the customer service.

Hey there, we're so sorry to hear this review. We would never want you to pay for something that you didn't want. If you email us at support@sleepiest.com we will try to make this right for you. Best, Hayden - CEO at Sleepiest 💜🐨
Good but disappointing
I really enjoy this app not for the sleep tracker, the alarms but the stories and the people reading them. The stories are so nicely read making the stories so sweet. The only thing that really ruined it for me is you only get to listen to 3 for free.
Thank you for this app, it’s amazing.

DON'T use sleep tracker!
I've been using Sleepiest for over a year now. As far as bedtime stories are concerned, I've just never grown up.
However, the new sleep tracker is a BAD move. Tracking your sleep is a great idea. Sleeping with your phone on charge, whilst on the mattress IS NOT! Perhaps sleepiest intends to send you into such a deep sleep, that you'll never wake up from.
As a firefighter with 25yrs experience. I can tell you that from a fire safety aspect, leaving your phone on charge as you sleep is bad enough. With it on your mattress too though😳😳😳😳 Who's crazy idea was that?! I've personally attended house fires caused by phones being charged in inappropriate places, such as on soft furnishings.
Please don't follow this advice. Enjoy a safe dream filled sleep that you're going to wake up from. Avoid being the star of your own nightmare, that you don't wake up from.

Very good
I have been sleeping very well for the past few days since I have downloaded this app. Even though I could only listen to free sounds it stills works on me. This is a great app, I recommend this is app if you are having trouble with sleeping.
I love it
I can never sleep but when I found this app I had to pay for it BUT it gives you things you can do that is completely FREE!! Since I can’t pay for it I love how it gives you multiple choices for sound that’s you can play all at once for a calming sound like a cat purring a clock ticking and the sound of fire crackles at the same time but there are more options, they also gives you I think about 6 different story’s you can listen to and there not like bedtime story’s there just story’s with a narrators saying them in a soft voice but the story’s are really calming. You should really get this if you have troubles sleeping, also I LOVE how you can set a reminder when you want to start going to sleep at and it will remind you with a little message and every morning it will say “goodmorning beautiful” or something like that.

It’s great
I think sleepiest is a great app due to it’s features such as the sleep sounds where there’s a variety you can use even if you don’t have premium and they’re relaxing. Another good thing about it is the stories I find them relaxing and easy to fall asleep to plus it’s also very comforting, the only problem I have with it is that there aren’t a lot of stories to listen to if you don’t have premium (which I don’t) so if there were more stories that would be better but I’m glad that you can get some as presents. Then next is the meditation. There’s only one you can listen to and I’m not going to buy premium, so if there were more medatation sounds for people who don’t have premium that would be great😊. Next thing is the sounds. These are really relaxing sounds and are easy to fall asleep to plus it has more then just one sound which it good,it’s also good that you can set a timer for how long you want it to last. Just (once again) I wish there were more sounds non-premium users could listen to, to help them sleep. Overall I think it’s a wonderful app and would definitely recommend to people. I know this isn’t going to get heard or anything just thought I should share my opinion😊😂

Better sleep guaranteed but...
I downloaded sleepiest to help improve my sleep. I have trouble falling asleep some nights like some others and just tossing and turning and being a little overwhelmed. Until I had this app it gave me a free 7 day trial so you know I took that really quickly. And from then on I’ve been addicted too the stories, mylas lullaby and rainy jazz coffee shop and frozen waterfall sounds. The only issue I have is some nights when I fall asleep listening to them I have very horrid bad dreams I don’t know if I should blame sleepiest. But I feel like I grew a huge attachment to the sounds that I cannot do much to stop using. But the reason why I gave this a 4 star is because well I been having very bad dreams lately. (Which usually doesn’t happen as often.) But if you have insomnia or trouble sleeping this app is definitely great! So I’d say at least try it out it helps you sleep and also soothes you.

I said hood by to bags under my eyes i am way less sleep deprived. I went from (1-4) 2.5 in Spanish to a 3.5!!!!! I passed that semester only because of this app of wonders. I also have ocd and I have meditated for 5-20 minutes everyday and now my dosage of medications houng down. My doctor has been telling everyone about it. YOU DONT KNOW THAT YOU NEED THIS APP UNTIL YOU TRY IT!!!!!!

what Insomnia ?
This app is amazing. I’ve tried all kinds of different things to help me sleep over the years, as I’ve been a long term sufferer of insomnia. Very few things have managed to help, and certainly none to the degree this app has. It’s absolutely perfect, allowing you to listen to soothing narratives or enabling you to set your own soundscapes by allowing you to stack different sound loops so you can cater to you’re very specific needs. My personal favorite combination involves rain on window, crackling fire, and the sound of a slowing train. I’ve had the app for about a month now and they’re constantly adding new content, from guided meditations, to additional soothing short stories and new sound loops. I use the app regularly now and I can’t imagine trying to sleep without it anymore. No more tossing and turning all night for me!
