Doesn’t account for shift work

I sleep at 3pm and wake up at 9pm but it says “error” when trying to input that information; this app doesn’t account for irregular sleep hours which is kind of counter productive and renders the app useless.

Lots of struggling to stay awake. Nothing to improve and lengthen nightly sleep.

Spent 6 weeks struggling to stay up until 11pm and then waking up at 4:30am. Expected to start weaning off only 5.5 hours of sleep and start going to bed earlier. Instead I got “Congratulations you have finished.” That’s it. Nothing more.

This needs to be better.

Like put in actual sensible writing.

I literally have to write my issues in the comments. Because according to the app going to bed at 10pm not being able to sleep till like 4am conflicts in their app.

Also I don’t care about the sleeping habits of bats. I care about actually getting quality sleep.
