Success with REST app!
I am 75 and I have had frequent episodes of insomnia for my entire adult life. Shift work as a nurse, changes after menopause and periods of stress increased these episodes.
In earnest, I have tried "everything." In the last 15 years or so I learned that cognitive behavioral training for insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard for insomnia treatment. However, a big obstacle is finding consistent and affordable coaching during treatment. Several years ago I tried a once-a-week phone coach but the results were not long lasting.
I am convinced that the REST app is the answer! The AI coaching is awesome. As a nurse who has delivered health care education to countless patients, I believe that AI coaching could be used in many other settings.
The AI coach "remembers" all that I have shared about my day to day habits and how they impact my sleep. "She" gives patient, clear and consistent messaging tailored personally to me. The AI coach is always available; occasionally I have reached out for advice in the middle of the night.
Daily accessibility and messaging is highly effective. It is crucial for behavioral change! I have improved and extended my sleep. When I have a rough patch I quietly and confidently know what to do....and what not to do. The program is affordable at $29/month. After 4 months I will soon transfer to the Rest Protect program at $15/month.
I am so grateful for this program and its creators. Try it. You will enjoy it and your sleep will improve.

Flexible for my schedule
I almost canceled this because I have health issues that make it difficult for me to keep a sleep schedule. I also have a dog that wakes me up and I’m also a hot sleeper. I didn’t think this app would work, but it is very flexible and there’s no judgment. It just wants to help you work with your schedule and make you stick with suggestions that actually work.

Disingenuous Subscription
Beware of low cost introductory offers that lock you into substantially higher subscription amounts, coupled with difficult to execute subscription cancellation process

Very useful and one of the best CBT program out there
I was skeptical when I started this but boy this program is perfect for those who want to fix their sleep and insomniacs. It is useful to the point that I would not bother with any in person therapy for sleep and stick to this . CBT is way under utilized and meds are way over prescribed in the world these days for sleep issues . Anchoring in CBT will not only improve your sleep but make it viable on long run. I went to therapy and every thing else but this is the only thing that works

Customer Service
My AI coach was stuck on the same dialogue & questions for over eight days. I wrote to customer service four times - no response. After the 5th time , they fixed it and today was the 6th Dayi was asked the exact same questions & given the same suggestions. My subscription ends tomorrow & I can not pay that amount of money for repetition & no help!
