Want to fall asleep? Me too! That's why I made Scroll to Sleep, because I kept doing the thing I think a lot of us do: getting into bed, opening my phone for “just a minute,” and then accidentally feeding my brain a full buffet of noise right before trying to sleep. This didn't feel great (especially in the morning). That's why I designed Scroll to Sleep to be the coziest sleep app ever created to help you relax, wind down, and replace late-night doomscrolling with something softer, slower, and sleepier. So instead of another bright, stressful feed, Scroll to Sleep gives you a calmer bedtime scroll filled with sleepy sheep, relaxing scenes, soothing sounds like ambient ASMR audio and white noise, and peaceful little nighttime moments. Swipe through a gentle sheep social feed, sail across quiet waters, relax under the stars, and give your thumb something soft to do while your mind gets ready for sleep. It’s a simple bedtime app for anyone who wants a calmer night routine, a relaxing screen experience, or a cozy alternative to social media scrolling before bed. FEATURES: • The original relaxing sleepy sailing scene, still free just like it was when it launched • Five personally designed sleep scenes. • No ads, not a single ad. Not a one. • Soothing sleep sounds, ambient ASMR audio, and calming white noise for each scene. • Extra screen dimmer tools for a darker nighttime experience • Auto dimmer and app slowdown time to help conserve battery if you doze off • Custom sleep timer to remind you it's time to scroll to sleep • A calm alternative to doomscrolling before bed • Peaceful visuals for your night routine • Designed for relaxing in bed, on the couch, while traveling, or anytime you want to slow down Scroll to Sleep is not another meditation course, a complicated sleep tracker, or a noisy social feed. It's just a cozy little place to scroll when you want to relax. It worked for me and so many others, I hope it works for you :) Nite nite, Kurtiswow ------------------------ Privacy Policy https://www.kurtiswow.com/privacy-policy-scroll-to-sleep Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
