Good Enough, Could be Great

This app is great for hitting all the key components of CBT-i. I’ve gone through a CBT-i program before so I just needed the refresher and the accountability which this app provides. It would be great if its interface could get a facelift and update some features like sync to apple health or Apple Watch. But overall for a simple, inexpensive, sleep coach and tracker, it works well enough for me.

Not for People Who Can’t Get Back to Sleep

This app offers a lot of resources for people who have trouble falling asleep. However, like the preponderance of sleep apps, it is not very useful for people who wake up early and cannot get back to sleep. Unfortunately, I am one of those people. I typically fall asleep within 5 minutes, but typically wake up before my desired time and am rarely able to to fall back asleep.

Extremely helpful!

This app is a bargain! You do have to be self motivated and self disciplined because you have to commit to interacting every day. But the information you get , at the pace that you get it is perfect. I thought I knew a lot about sleep and a lot about getting better sleep, but I learned so much from this app, and it really solidified what I needed to do. I am sleeping so much better and I believe a lot of it had to do with Night Owl. Not fancy, but EXPERT advice in the comfort of your home and your time schedule.

A great bargain!

Well worth the money. If you follow the program I can tell you you will gain valuable, kind, straight forward but professional advise. My relationship with sleep changed for the better. Much better. Stick with it every day. Most days it takes a minute to fill out the info … some days there is reading to do on the APP or a video. ALL WITH IT. It’s hard to find a CBT-I therapist and they are expensive. THIS was the bargain of a lifetime. THANK YOU
