Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Rest is a personalized AI sleep program that helps you build lasting changes through daily education, coaching and support. Built with leading sleep experts from institutions like UCSF, and rated five stars by more than 2,000 people on the App Store. Through daily conversations and your sleep log, Rest learns about your patterns, routines and challenges, and remembers what you share. Your AI coach guides you through a structured program grounded in sleep science, adapting the education, practical steps and support to your progress.
