Glitching so badly I can’t even get past the sign in page

I’d love to try it, but I can’t even make any of the sign in/sign up options work. It’s hard to use an app if the sign up options are faulty.

Bugs

Some buttons are inaccessible. And app hangs on the between trials screen.

Was told they did not develop it for the SE**

Response from developer

Hi Numericons, Thank you for sharing your iPhone model via email with us (iPhone SE 2nd Gen). We’ll do all we can to get the app compatible with the SE phone! Thank you, The MicroSleep Team

Wonderful tool for Intensive Sleep Retraining

I’ve been reading The Sleep Fix by Diane Macedo, which is an incredible resource to help sort out and solve various chronic sleep issues. Macedo recommended this app for people who want try treating chronic insomnia with CBT-I technique Intensive Sleep Retraining at home. The technique used to only be accessible to those who have access to a sleep center, so Sleep on Cue app is a game changer for the rest of us. Being able treat the root causes of insomnia rather than the symptoms is long overdue for me and I’m thankful for this app. Sleeping soundly and efficiently while free of chemical crutches seemed out of reach until I found the book and this app. I hope this review and this app help other sleep deprived people.

Thank you for your nice review :) Michael

What a great app!

Such a neat idea, so different. Really helping me sleep!

One-of a kind insomnia solution!

In the past, I’ve been hesitant about most apps that claim to help you sleep. At their best, they make me feel like I’m addressing the very frustrating experience of insomnia without actually doing much. At their worst, they’re a waste of money and actually lead to other bedtime dependencies.

Sleep On Cue is different. As long as you give it the time, it transforms falling asleep into any other habit… something you can do without even thinking about.

I hope other insomniacs will give this one a try. Hopefully it will change your ability to sleep like it changed mine!

Great App

I had such bad insomnia and literally thought that I must of had totally sleepless nights since pandemic. The sleep on Q App showed me that I actually did fall asleep! It helped me gain my sleep confidence back! I highly recommend this App!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your nice words about my app Marty, really appreciate it!

Awesome app!

even after one night of using this app - doing abo it 5 trials - I felt a significant improvement in my confidence in falling asleep. That was a feeling I didn’t know I needed to regain, and that’s part of the beauty of this app. I recommend this to anyone having trouble sleeping 100%.

Response from developer

Thanks Simbola, so glad you found it helpful!

I think this app just saved my life. A major breakthrough!

Week four into CBTi, I was really struggling with overwhelming anxiety that was preventing me from falling asleep. Despite religiously executing sleep restriction, stimulus control and cognitive exercises, my nighttime anxiety felt like a freight train that was derailing, despite my best efforts at relaxation and meditation. For those who suffer chronic insomnia, they well know how bad the fear of another sleepless night and impaired daytime functioning can be; and it gets worse every subsequent night of poor sleep. I had initially messed around with this app a few days prior, but didn’t initially care for it.

Last night I was desperate, and it looked like it was going to be a second night of poor sleep. I was already three hours into my sleep window wide awake. Figuring I had nothing to lose (except sleep), I gave the app another shot.

Within five sleep trials, I rapidly started gaining confidence I could fall asleep again DESPITE THE CRUSHING ANXIETY! I followed the simple directions, and quickly realized I was falling asleep, even when I wasn’t aware of it. This is an absolute revelation for me. I’m only running on 3.5 hours to of sleep right now, but it already feels like a tremendous burden of anxiety has been taken off my shoulders. I can’t wait to use the app again tonight. It fees like I can give my anxiety the middle finger and fall asleep anyway!

Pure Junk

Absolutley useless. Just blew $2.

Response from developer

Hi Jimtho, I’m so sorry the app did not work for you on your phone. You are welcome to email me at michael@sleeponq.com. I would greatly appreciate your feedback about the specific issues you experienced with the app. My goal is to help people overcome their sleeping trouble. Thank you, Michael

Doesn’t wake you up

The vibrations don’t wake you up. Tried again next day and not hearing tones.

Response from developer

Hi SMJ67, could you let me know if the issue with the app was resolved? Would you mind letting me know if you have an iPhone or Android phone? Just want to help you be successful with the app, and also answer any insomnia-related questions. Thank you, Mike

I sleep through the wake up

I think the app is a great concept however after a couple of sleep cycles, I will sleep through the wake o vibration and remain sleeping. It would be great if the app kept vibrating until the user acknowledged they were awake

App not working

Hi I’ve been using this app every day but for some reason it is not making the ringing sound today. I tried it on 3 different phones; 2 iPhones and 1 android and it is still not working. Can you guys see if there is some sort of bug? I really need it to sleep.

Response from developer

Hi Bananas, we haven’t seen that bug on other phones. Have you tried the usual close/restart/reboot? Also the audio switch on the side of the phone must be flipped “on”. Please keep me posted.

A lifesaver!

I wish I could meet the creator of this app and give him a giant hug! This app has literally saved my life. I’ve had sleep issues for about 9 years on and off and swore I had insomnia. I just recently discovered that what I actually have is Paradoxical Insomnia. I recorded myself sleeping one night and was shocked to find out that I’ve been sleeping for several hours when I swore on my life that I was up for the entire night. The snoring confirmed this. 😄 After tons of research on this sleep disorder, I found Sleep On Cue. I cannot believe how quickly it’s helping me get my sleep cycle back to normal. I’m finally getting the REM sleep I need so desperately and I’m SO relieved I don’t have to take sleep aids or pay for a pricey visit to a sleep clinic. This $4.99 app is a Godsend. Thank you SO much!!! 😌🙏🏻

Thanks Dopplegirl! Hug accepted 😊 Michael

Great app

This app is a game changer. After having insomnia for 20 years I am finally rebuilding confidence in my ability to sleep without pills.

Response from developer

Thanks for the nice feedback sajhar!

great app

I used this during a period of intense acute insomnia, and it helped rebuild my confidence that I could fall asleep, after noting that I was consistantly falling asleep during the trainings. A very useful tool to help insomniacs.

Response from developer

Great to hear that it helped you!

Finally! A good night's sleep!

If you have trouble with sleep, give this app a try.

Great help!

I suffer from the dreaded insomnia. As a result I've looked at a bunch of sleep apps and even tried a few. None of them helped with my problem. This one is different. Rather than monitoring sleep it helps you practice falling asleep. As they call it, sleep training. As an athlete, the idea of training to improve performance makes sense to me. Notes on the website mention this app was developed based on sleep research. Well worth the few bucks to try this innovative approach to improving sleep.

Worth it at 10x the price

I have had insomnia on and off – mostly on – for over fifteen years. I am quite accomplished at lying in bed for hours, sometimes 8-9 hours straight, without falling asleep at all. I have tried getting up when I don’t fall asleep but didn’t make much progress with that. Indeed, I have tried all the conventional behavioral and pharmacological therapies that I have been told of or prescribed.

I purchased this app after having read about the Australian ISR sleep study and wanting to replicate its results at home. I haven’t tried the ISR yet, however, because I am so far having enough success with falling asleep by simply using the nap setting (turning off the vibrate function so it doesn’t wake me up). We will see how the next couple of nights go, but last night was a GREAT night's sleep. Even with a few awakenings, I was able to get back to sleep quickly by forcing myself to shake the phone in response to the sounds. If that keeps up, and this is how I sleep for the next however many years, I will consider that a huge success. I guess the shaking is just frequent enough to interrupt the learned and unhelpful thought processes that normally keep me wide awake but not so frequent as to keep me awake on its own accord.

This app would be worth it at ten times the price.

A solution that delivers

I was feeling like I had routed and fixed all of the causes of my chronic insomnia, yet I'd do everything right with a calming ritual, hypnosis, meditation....and just wouldn't sleep. This app verifies and resolves what I've always suspected....I've created a negative relationship with sleep. Did a 21 hour session with this app based on the Australian ISR sleep studies and have had no problems, and more importantly, no anxiety, about falling asleep since. Beautifully simply, the app let's you practice falling asleep. Plus app support is excellent, and consists of a sleep professional. Thanks Mike!
