10/10 recommend
I have been struggling with insomnia this year and was feeling really hopeless with it. The educational resources on this app have helped me feel validated with my struggles. I regularly use the sleep diary to feel like I have more mindfulness and control over my sleep again. I am deeply appreciative that this resource is free and easily accessible.

Understand your sleep
I got this app at the recommendation of my Occupational therapist because I had not been getting enough sleep.
The app allowed me to track how I was sleeping as well as track my sleeping habits. Seeing my sleeping habits like when I go to bed on a graph really helped me become more aware of where I could improve personally to try and get a better sleep. It also allows you to track different things that can affect your sleep and can be hooked up to your smart watch. I definitely recommend it even for people without sleep disorders.

great and helpful tool
Easy to use and helped me discover and understand my sleep patterns, giving me insight into my behaviors. With the help of some good study and consulting with a sleep therapist, along with other good health practices, this app assists me in tracking, improving and maintaining good sleep hygiene and better overall health. In my mid to late 50s, I’ve cultivated a more pleasant and less stressful life by giving up more abusive aerobic and anaerobic practices in favor of sustainable stretching and gardening, to include lots of push lawn mowing and weeding, augmented by seasonal yoga, golf, swimming, bicycling and handyman work. The cumulative effect is increased flexibility and decreased wear and tear on tendons, ligaments and cartilage along with lower blood pressure and pulse rate. Quality sleep is a big part of my overall improved health: mental, physical, emotional.

New version is worthless!
I have used this app for a year, and it had some flaws but was helpful. The old version looked old school, but it worked. The new one is awful and full of bugs. Data export no longer works, which makes the app useless: I cannot read charts with no data point and with data all smushed into a tiny screen. When typing into the notes, the app doesn’t automatically capitalize anymore. If you create your notes in a different app and copy/paste, you have to give the app permission to paste EVERY time instead of just allowing it in settings. Saving an entry no longer shows you your sleep stats; you have to search for them instead. The app creates duplicates if you try to edit an entry. All of these are new issues since you tried to fix a perfectly good app! Please fix!!
The one issue I had with the old app is that creating an entry requires that you focus on the sleep issues instead of on good quality sleep. You need to know how many times you wake and for how long, as well as what time you finally awoke. People who struggle with insomnia should not be focusing on these things. Developers, please create a sync to a sleep device that will automatically record this data!

New version is way too buggy
I have used this app for a year. The old version looked old but worked. The new version is riddled with bugs. When I first updated the app, it wiped ~8 months of sleep data history. I talked with the developer, and they said there was no way to recover the history. I continued using the app, but it’s so buggy. Export data doesn’t work. Editing sleep entries creates duplicates. The sleep charts are hard to interpret because there are no values/data points. Overall the new version is a downgrade from the old, reliable version.

A very helpful part of my insomnia plan
I’ve been using this app for several years. I’m not a veteran; I just stumbled on it while researching insomnia apps. I’ve had insomnia since childhood and am now being treated with CBT and medication. This app helps me track my meds, caffeine and alcohol intake, sleep hours, naps and everything else that potentially affects my sleep. Definitely recommend.

We're glad you've found the app helpful! It is designed so it can be used by Veteran and non-Veterans alike.
My god, please fix yr new version - catastrophic errors
Please fix the gross errors of the new version. I’ve used this for years and now it’s kaput!!The old version was old school but it worked. New version— doesn’t work on iPad landscape mode so that you might type. Doesn’t save entries when you press SAVE. Opens the Sleep Diary in some random date in the past, instead of Today. Once you finish an entry you don’t automatically see your sleep efficiency stats— you have to go back home and search for it! Surely you know these things! All the VA money and labor just to break a priceless tool???

Date picker worse than before
There are a number of good things about this update but the date picker is worse than before. Previously the default date was today’s date meaning I’d have to scroll back one day for every diary entry. Now for some reason the default is in February so I have to scroll forward two months and then select the date. Please just make the default date YESTERDAY. Most people will be entering their sleep from last night — not from two months ago.

Removed all my data!!!!!
I have been using this for years and wake up to a new app and all my data gone!!!! No warning whatsoever! I’m expected to start over? I needed that historic data. I will not be using this.
