Will completely transform your approach to sleep
I’ve always had intermittent sleep problems but about eight months ago it spiraled out of control after a few bad nights and I developed debilitating sleep anxiety. It was months of 3-5 hours per night and nothing seemed to help. I came across Dr. Guy and his sleep school and I cannot thank him enough. Within a couple weeks my anxiety started to decrease and the sleep improvement followed. I just finished the 30-day course last night. I took about 60 days because I repeated some days just to make sure I really absorbed the lessons. In the past month I have slept 7-8 hours every night except maybe one when I was sick. I can’t say enough about this course. Well worth the cost. I’m excited about doing the other courses too.

Works like magic
I tried CBTi for many months without success, this ACT therapy almost instantly cured me.
Life saver
I loved this app! I had terrible sleep anxiety for two years, but this app was a game changer for eventually reducing and then completely eliminating the anxiety I felt while going to bed. At this point, I haven’t worried about sleep in a year. Thank you!! the creators of this app put much thought and care into it

Knowledgeable and practical
The theory is there both about what is needed to improve sleep as well as what I need as a person to be trained how to integrate it. Things like reminders and motivators, bite-sized lessons and helpful patterns. I will recommend this to friends!
My insomnia is gone!
I’ve been dealing with insomnia for two years now. I would consider my insomnia to be severe. I probably was getting 10 hours a month of sleep when it was at its worst. I went through CBT-I which actually made my problem worse. I am happy to say after reading the book and completing the program, I am insomnia free! Also, I am sleeping pill free! Being awake throughout the night no longer scares me. Best $100.00 I ever spent. I have my life back!

My sleep nurse
Sleep school is excellent easy to follow and it helps me so much after 2 months doing it I don’t think I can miss a day!
Best I’ve tried
I have had this app for a year now and whilst I am not cured it has definitely improved my sleep and has been the best method I have tried so far. I have tried individual and group cbt but this is way better and I would certainly recommend it.
No notifications/emails about trial period ending
Really dislike it when apps make it very easy for you to start a trial period and are hoping people will just forget before they charge a huge annual fee. They didn’t send any reminders at all. I would like to be reimbursed
Great app one minor annoyance
The app works great and I am enjoying the course and mentality of it so far. One minor annoyance is that the sleep and wake reminders are showing no matter what even though I have them disabled. It’s annoying especially because I already have such a thing set up with apple health.
Absolutely Brilliant
I am 81yrs I developed insomnia after hip replacement and an issue with the knee on the same side.
A mistake with a new mattress and having to lie on my back for many weeks……in the end I was afraid of going to bed it all seemed like torture.
I found Sleep School after a search for help and it has been truly life changing
The teaching is so thoughtful,gentle and informative, I began to feel safe going to bed very quickly.
Now 4 weeks later I fall asleep quickly, stay asleep longer and look forward to resting even if I am awake.
It has also helped with other issues like defusing thoughts and emotions which has application to everyday life.
So THANK YOU with all my heart you have rescued me!!!!

Helpful for insomnia and for life
Great practical tools for improving your relationship with sleep and your thoughts overall. I can’t believe it took me this long to find it.
Awful
Terrible. Dr guy is really patronising and dr Kat was apathetic and uninterested in my appointment.
Frustrating
I can’t tell you how frustrating this app is, constantly being told by a recorded voice how much progress I’m making and how much I’ve learned whilst my sleep actually deteriorates. This feeling intensifies as the app progresses and I lose all hope that it’s going to help me.
Also, awful patronising cartoons and animated confetti are quite annoying
I’m desperately tired but now I’m also marginally poorer.

So pleased with this app!
I’m really glad that I got this app. After 40 plus years of insomnia I just know that this is the best way to handle it; acceptance. The usual advice is just not helpful at all. I strongly recommend this app for those suffering with insomnia

Pure Magic
I really can’t tell you how amazing this app is and how much it has done for me. After being an insomniac for 30 years and going to many doctors and psychiatrists I feel this app has taught me how to sleep well. I use to get a few good nights here and there but never knew how I got those good nights of sleep, now I feel more confident and I don’t worry as much about my sleep. Thank you so much to all those that contributed to this app. If you’re not sleeping well please try this, it will make such a positive difference to your life😃

Unable to use app
Edit: As of 7/22/24, this issue has not been resolved.
I have a subscription attached to my Apple ID, but am unable to access any of the content, as the app says that I have not subscribed. It’s frustrating to be unable to access something already paid for. I initially heard back from customer service, but have not heard anything since. I will update this review in the future if the issue is resolved.

Given me my life back
This app is amazing! I had developed insomnia during a period where my child was being bullied. I didn’t sleep for a week and this led to ongoing sleep anxiety, even after the bullying situation resolved. I tried CBTi initially and whilst I saw some improvements (and I do think sleep restriction was useful), I felt that progress halted and I was developing anxiety about the many rules the course imposes. The Sleep School programme is all about accepting one’s insomnia and all the discomfort that comes with it, leading to a reduction in anxiety about sleep, freeing one up to be relaxed enough to sleep. The course is so well written, looks good and is so informative, supportive and nurturing. Dr Meadows is such a calming presence (the mediations are so relaxing and peaceful) and throughout the course, I learnt not only how to sleep better again but it has also changed my whole experience with anxiety - I feel so much freer. I still have a little way to go until I can stop thinking about sleep during the day but the sleep dread has largely gone and typically I fall asleep within 20 minutes :-) Thank you Sleep School and Dr Meadows!

Excellent Tools and Advice
After many years of insomnia I can say this App by far has been the most helpful. The London Sleep School is a game changer when it comes to help with insomnia.
Excellent course
I suddenly suffered from a bout of insomnia after being a good sleeper all my life. The experience of not sleeping (or only getting 2-3 hours a night) was very jarring and caused a high level of sleep anxiety.
This app was transformative. It gave short, daily sessions to help me understand that my insomnia is not a condition, but instead the result of a condition (anxiety) and gave me the tools to manage the anxiety which - over time - resulted in improved sleep.
I would recommend this app to anyone suffering from poor sleep duration or quality. It's quite expensive but the best investment I've made for a long time.
My only advice - couple these materials with sleep restriction therapy and don't expect progress to be linear. I had some bumps throughout the course but trust in the materials and be consistent with your learning and practices.
