Say Goodbye to Scary Nights

I spent a year struggling with severe anxiety and insomnia, and I truly wish I had discovered this resource sooner—it would have made such a difference.
When your brain is stuck in a state of hyper-arousal, the best path forward is understanding how it works. This new approach to therapy is both incredibly effective and much gentler than traditional methods like CBTI. It is a journey that takes time, but I promise that one day, you will realize your sleep struggles have faded into the past. You’ve got this.

Review

Great app! Don’t hesitate to get it. Definitely recommend getting a coach though as the modules are good but I personally had many follow up questions and things I needed help with. I was lucky enough to get Coach Chris who is so knowledgeable and helped me more than I ever thought possible. Well worth the 189 a month. If it wasn’t for this app I don’t know if I ever would have found help. Don’t give up, give this app a chance.

Daniel is an angel

Daniel’s teachings helped me get out of a second bout of three months long insomnia that relapsed after six years. The first bout I had a false belief that thc cured it. This go around I understand it was all phobia based because of Daniel’s teachings. It was also very empowering to understand how the brain and body work and this demystified the process for me. Thank GOD for Daniel and BedTyme.

Finally feeling good

Maybe you are reading the reviews having a few doubts. I tried everything with 20 years of insomnia so I can say to you with confidence : this app is the way! Thanks BedTyme team and Coach Chris!

Response from developer

Tobias, so glad this became what led you out of insomnia 😊! And thanks a bunch for taking the time to leave a review, it means so much 🙏 I’ll send a screenshot to Coach Chris, it will make him really happy to read!

Coaches are also AI

Even the “coaches” are AI. To a degree. They are real people but they put all your messages thru AI and send you the response. It’s like paying extra for a slightly tailored version of AI than the already built in AI called Ellie which is a fraction of the cost.

It can still be helpful if you don’t know any better because a lot of the responses make sense. But their approaches are all so gentle and not directive and there is never anything the paid insomnia strugglers are doing wrong that they correct. It’s all just passively kind coaching by answering any of your messages saying whatever you’re doing is totally understandable and your journey is your own and it’s ok to struggle and you will heal on your own terms as long as you don’t try too hard. If my thoughts change in the future I’ll update this. But the fact the coaches are also using AI is kind of rubbing me the wrong way. And I’m really in the struggle and could use all the help I can get. But I want genuine help.

Response from developer

Thanks much for a review that sounds very honest, real and human. I’m of course sorry this didn’t become what lead you to peaceful nights, but it means much that you’ve taken the time to educate people who are wondering if this may be for them or not. I’ll share this with our coaches, because our promise when you sign up for the option with a human coach is of course replies that you can tell are written by a fellow human. With this said, it can be a bit repetitive because we do talk about a few basic principles and never give any prescriptive advice. Hope you find a nice way to sleep well and feel well. /Daniel

100% rate

Having the personal sleep coach to talk to and support me really helped with my Insomnia recovery. Really thoughful and helpful responses from my coach Veronica 😊 100% would recommend to those who want the support but don't necessarily want to talk on group calls!

Response from developer

Sarah, thanks sooo much for taking the time to share this 🙏! And I was really glad you found us and that this way was so helpful. Be in touch!!

This is the way

Long insomnia sufferer here, who’s just about tried everything to help me with my problem.

Came across Daniel’s work one day while looking for help on YouTube.

Signed up for the basic app originally then upgraded to the premium coaching version a couple weeks in. Worked with Chris (who is great) over the past couple months. My coach really put things in perspective for me and talked thru the methods in very practical terms.

I’m now in great shape, no longer dreading the evenings armed with a completely different mindset around sleep.

100% recommend.

There’s no comparison to how much better this is than CBTi

The methodology that they’ve developed for helping people with insomnia is so far superior to anything else I’ve ever tried is unreal. What I learned from this team and my coach (yes, it’s worth the price) is so far superior to the methods and coaching I received from CBTi.
If you’re struggling with insomnia and want to “drop the weights of it,” I believe you’ll have no regrets about trying tgis.

Great Program

Love it and still on it!

Very Helpful

I am very grateful for all of the sleep coach school material, including this app. I signed up for a couple months of the option with the 1:1 coaching, and it was SO helpful during my darkest hours in the middle of the nights with insomnia and anxiety. The coaching helped combat the fear and loneliness of insomnia with so much empathy and reassurance. I would suggest it to anyone who feels like they are struggling and in need of support.

Diana, I’m so very glad you found out little ecosystem and even more so that it’s been so helpful 😊 Which really is thanks to your readiness to approach things in a different way. Thanks so so much for taking to time to leave a review 🙏 Be well always and be in touch!

Bummed

I had a 7 day free trial but was charged $19.99 after 4 days. There was no notice on the app that this happened, Apple notified me that I was charged. I reached out to support to try to get my money back as I no longer want to continue with this app. I got an obvious AI generated response days later. I received step by step instructions on how to request a refund but the options they listed were not available on the app. It seemed like a generic response on how you can request refunds on apps. It even said to contact support for a refund if that didn’t work which is what I did with the email. I’m still hoping to get my money back but not optimistic about it. I’m bummed because I liked Daniel’s teachings but I can’t recommend this app. It’s better to just to get one of his books.

Awful

UPDATE: my dispute was honored and I got my refund after filing.

There is NO free trial, they will charge you immediately. I tried cancelling within 24 hours but their customer service person, Kathyrene ghosts you! Their app has missing photos, they don’t honor what they said it would. WORST app I’ve ever used and I feel so robbed.

A Game Changer for Chronic Insomnia

This approach to insomnia management is the only thing that has worked for me. Coach Veronika was incredibly compassionate and her insights were invaluable. It’s so nice to have someone who’s been through the same struggle help you process your emotions.

Crashes when trying to subscribe

Wish I could get in this program but currently unable to it just crashes as soon as I click any subscribe button

App as others have said crashing on 18.2 : 18.3

As others have pointed out tried on multiple iPhones running various iOS between 18.2 and 18.3 with a mix of various iPhones from iPhone 11 too iPhone 16 depending on phone and iOS version it crashed in different places on different devices but definitely needs an update.

The other thing I wanted to mention in reading all the reviews which is what got me to give this a try it does seem many are written by bots and the use of Ai is very much present in how the developer responds (robotic but a friendly dude just if you run into issues you want more than a cheerleader helping you find a solution)

I do hope you get it updated would like to try and compare with similar products from the sleep programs at ucla and the insomnia clinic connected with Stanford as both have unique and very interesting approaches but you do need a prescription or be a volunteer in there clinical trials which ended in December and I believe both will again become available before getting fda approval in one more trial or maybe Kennedy just skips these puts them into the public with prescription.

Hi Hej, Very sorry to hear this and, if you would consider sending a screenshot of any crash to daniel@bedtyme.co that would be super appreciated 🙏 I’ve not been able to replicate it myself on my phone, and the developers (which is a small team) are not finding the issue. Very frustrating!! But we shall do our best to get everything sorted. Thanks for highlighting this issue. / Daniel

App Crash

I am on ios 18.2 as well, and am getting the crashing app glitch like another user reported. Any help would be appreciated here. I'm very excited to use this app once this is fixed.

It worked

This is an incredible program- so simple yet so effective. I’ve been struggling with insomnia for nearly a decade, trying all potential remedies from OTC products, prescription anxiety meds, eliminating screen time before bed and getting to sleep early, hot baths, you name it… but literally within a few days of starting using this app about 6 months ago, I was sleeping well again. I’ve had a few relapses since then, but this app reminds me to not make a big deal of it and sure enough, I can get myself back in a good rhythm again. Super helpful and life changing.

App Crashes after questions

The app crashes after selecting all the questions. When prompted to select a subscription both options cause the app to crash. I have tried two different iPhones 15 pro. One has iOS stock 18.2 and the other has iOS 18.3 beta.

Best teaching

Awesome and God Sent

Scammed me out of subscription

They scammed me! Had an issue with the subscription and they charged me $170 for a subscription I didn’t have access to and did not approve. Their Customer service is absolutely horrendous. They respond as if they are bots, which they might be and have not supported me in figuring out the issues, only directing me to Apple. So horrible. There are plenty of other services that do the same thing. I’d recommend finding a different service.
