## What is Owlly?

Can't sleep? Mind racing at 2am? Owlly is the only sleep app built 
specifically for people whose thoughts won't stop — using real 
neuroscience, not generic relaxation tips.

WHY OWLLY IS DIFFERENT

Most sleep apps give you a playlist and wish you luck. Owlly gives 
your brain a way out of the anxiety loop that keeps you awake.

Every feature is built on a specific scientific technique.

UNWIND — Empty your mind before bed

Write your racing thoughts and park them until morning with one tap. 
Based on cognitive off-loading research showing this reduces pre-sleep 
anxiety by up to 40 percent. Your brain stops looping when it knows 
thoughts are safely stored.

BREATHE — Calm your body in 90 seconds

Mood-adaptive breathing protocols — the app detects how anxious you 
are and picks the right technique. Box breathing, 4-7-8, extended 
exhale. Each activates your vagus nerve and drops your heart rate fast.

DRIFT — Fall asleep naturally

Cognitive Shuffling is a technique developed by sleep scientist Dr. Luc 
Beaudoin. Random images replace anxious thoughts, mimicking the brain's 
natural pre-sleep state. Screen fades to black as you drift off.

SOUNDS — 27 categories of sleep audio

Rain, ocean, brown noise, binaural beats, lo-fi, piano, ASMR, Tibetan 
bowls and more. Or add your own music directly from your Files app.

INSIGHTS — Track what actually works

Log your sleep quality, track your streak, and see patterns over time. 
Know which tools help you most.

THE RITUAL FLOW

New to the app? Just tap Start Tonight's Ritual. Owlly guides you 
through a 10-minute wind-down sequence — Unwind, Breathe, then Drift. 
No decisions needed at 2am. Just follow along.

BUILT ON REAL SCIENCE

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, known as CBT-I, is the gold 
standard treatment recommended over sleeping pills by the American 
Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Cognitive Shuffling is a peer-reviewed technique developed by Dr. Luc 
Beaudoin at Simon Fraser University.

Vagus nerve breathing is used by Navy SEALs and clinical psychologists 
worldwide for rapid stress reduction.

Cognitive off-loading before bed is documented in the Journal of 
Experimental Psychology.

WHO OWLLY IS FOR

You lie awake replaying conversations or worrying about tomorrow. Your 
mind races the moment you get into bed. You have tried meditation apps 
but they feel too slow or too generic. You want to understand why a 
technique works, not just follow along blindly. You have struggled with 
insomnia for years and nothing has stuck.

PRIVACY

Everything stays on your device. No account required. No data sold. 
Your thoughts, your journal, your sleep data — private forever.

Start tonight. Your best sleep is one ritual away.
