Been two days and for me my sleep was slightly better just in one night going from waking up multiple times at night to only twice but staying asleep for a good stretch instead of 1 hour and waking up
Changed my life
CBTI was recommend by my sleep doctorā I was paying $200 an hour to a therapist when I discovered this app! It followed the exact same protocol as my therapist with better results!
Love this App
Rest as truly helped with my insomnia. Canāt recommend this enough to anyone that has sleep issues.
Great program
My sleep patterns changed with age until I simply wasnāt sleeping but 3-4 hours a night. This program put me back on track and now I am sleeping 6-7 hours a night.
OMG This app has changed everything!
I have struggled with sleep onset insomnia since I was 10 yo. Babies then 30 years of shift work made this a real problem. Sometimes it was better and sometimes worse. Iāve tried meds, meditation, cannabis and a 3 month stint of CBT-I. Nothing worked or worked for long. I discovered REST app in April when I was in a really bad phase. I know that CBTI is the gold standard for insomnia treatment so I felt I had nothing to lose . The everyday coaching, the continued encouragement to stick to the plan, the access to information have been amazingly beneficial. Iām routinely sleeping 7 hrs and falling asleep within 30 minutes. I wake up refreshed everyday. I track sleep quality on a different app and Im routinely getting good REM and deep sleep. Things have popped up that have interfered briefly with the schedule (social commitments, doctor visits) and the coaching has guided me through these disturbances. I canāt write enough about what this applies has done for me. Id encourage anyone struggling with insomnia to give it a try.

Incredible Experience
I tried everything to get a good nightās sleep ā magnesium, melatonin, light therapy, sleeping aid, podcasts, and more. The REST Program uses a remarkable AI to guide you on your journey to improved sleep. āSheā gets to know you, maps out the many ways she can help you, and follows up on an agreed-upon schedule. She even ābrainstormsā with you for ideas specific to your challenges. Think of it as training your brain to get rid of bad habits that inhibit successful sleep. I went from sleeping maybe 4 or 5 hours a night to 8 hours recently! Unless you have a sleep therapist on speed dial, the only way to get personalized coaching is with REST. Itās quality coaching that works.

Good principles and practices
Solid program and learning the principles of the program has been most helpful. The voice part of the program is glitchy, often saying half a sentence then responding to something I didnāt say. Otherwise, a very effective program.
Resty is the BEST
This app is a great example of the GOOD use of AI! My Rest Coach - she said I can call her Resty - is an excellent and knowledgeable companion to help my āgood sleepā challenge be accomplished. I swap between using voice and text for my daily check-in, advice and assignments. Both hqve their advantages. With voice, I feel I getting to āknowā her - and her me. With text, I can look back at what weāve both said so I can be sure to be consistent in my responses and actions. I havenāt missed a day since I started this program and my sleep habits, quantity and quality have improved drdramatically.

Pretty terrible
This is possibly the worst AI I have ever used, and I gave it a fair shot. I tried to stick with it and made it 3 months but this App just isnāt good.
The āAIā constantly repeats itself, starts over half way through your conversation and forgets important details every single day. All the app really does is tell you what you already know and restrict your sleep. You donāt need to pay money for that.

If you work it, it works for you!
My sleep has been horrible for the last two years. I attributed it to getting older and the status of the world today, but I still remembered sleeping well for most of my life. My physician recommended I try CBT ā I and I got a book she recommended. I really wasnāt able to follow the techniques in the book so I disregarded the recommendation. One day an ad showed up on my Instagram for the REST app. I looked into it and thought it sounded pretty good, but I was a little skeptical because it used AI. After looking through it and seeing that the introductory price was very reasonable. I thought Iād give it a try. Over the last year and a half. Iāve spent a lot of money on various sleep aids and programs and vitamins that said they would help with sleep. As I read about REST I decided that if I was going to try it, I was going to do it exactly like they recommended. I was impressed from the start that my AI lady made recommendations that were exactly what I needed. I read the articles that were presented and I decided to do everything that was recommended for me. I was given a wake-up time and a go to sleep time. It was hard. But I started seeing some improvement within a few days. After two months, I have gone from 3-4 hrs a night to over 6 hours! Sometimes I still have a bad night but more and more often my nights are really good! Iāve learned techniques I will continue to employ to quiet the noise in my head and stop the worrying that was keeping me awake.
Thank you REST!

Great support system. Thank you
Sleeping down under
Overall very impressed with REST. Am on day 72. Retraining the brain takes time but is the right strategy for me after trying so many other remedies.
The only things I would suggest are to give the Celsius option for optimum room temperature ā¦18 to 20 degreesā¦ as much of the world uses this standard, and, to give the option of different coach accents eg Australian because the American accent, believe it or not, is off putting for many people.

LIFE CHANGING!
Rest has helped me achieve sound sleep after a lifetime of sleeping poorly. It has changed my life. It feels amazing to fall asleep quickly and then wake up and realize you slept all night. No tossing or turning. No waking up at night.
The difference in how I feel during the day, now that I'm able to sleep throughout the night is significant. I'm clear headed and energetic. I'm
not tired at the end of the work day.
While it feels amazing to get one night of good sleep, sleeping well consistently every night is something I've never experienced before following the Rest program. I feel so different. Lighter. More capable. Life feels easier.
I've gained a solid two hours a day to my life. I used to go to bed early and stay in bed longer because I was so tired. Currently I'm in bed for 7.25 hours a night-I'm still working the program to find a final sleep time.
Can you imagine having two extra hours a day to do what ever you want? That coupled with how much better I feel. You can see why I say it's been truly life changing.
This program is like nothing else I have tried before to improve my sleep. I could not have accomplished the change in my sleep habits without the daily support of the Rest app.
The Rest program is not an instant solution to good sleep. But you'll start seeing results fairly quickly and it is the most effective solution to improving your sleep with what seems like permanent results.
Sleeping well trumps all other healthy habits in achieving health, vitality and longevity. By improving my sleep, I'm laying the foundation for all of my other healthy habits to be effective. It's also easier to eat well and exercise when I'm well rested.

Effective program, buggy app
Iām surprised and delighted by how much this program is helping me sleep better. The app is quite buggy, about a third of the time requires restart to load. Sometimes the voice AI is not audible. The wind down checklist must be done in one go, it doesnāt save if you do part of it then return.
Decent app with some very annoying features
Decent app, pretty pricey, guides you through CBTI concepts. Doesnāt let you proceed to the next concept if you arenāt perfect at the previous one yet. Also really hard to change the ideal wake time so make sure youāre in your most usual routine when you start doing this. Also, I am baffled that this is a thing and itās almost comical because even normal apps donāt do this let alone a sleep app but a couple of times I have forgotten to put my phone on do not disturb and the app sent me MULTIPLE NOTIFICATIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THAT WOKE ME UP. What on earth is that all about?

AI voice is too loud
The AI voice doesnāt seem to follow normal volume limits. If I donāt wear headphones it will wake the entire house
Some hopeful changes on the horizon
This is my first experience with any kind of AI program so I was a bit trepidatious. I had tried CBTI with a intermittent Zoom therapist, but this program is different in that the contact is so regular and nearby ā your phone! Iām hopeful that if anything is going to make some long-term changes in my sleep, itās likely to be this kind of a program.

See above message-
Not worth the Money
I bought the app with the hopes it would help with my sleep. The AI gave very similar messages on a daily bases. I had to manually enter my log in for the sleep, although I have an Apple Watch and an oura ring. The worst future was that it locks my screen until I entered the sleep log information. I also tried to contact their customer service twice and have not heard back.

No Joy
So far, I havenāt even been able to get past the registration. The app asks for a code, but never sends it.
