Most sleep apps assume you go to bed at 10 PM. You don't. Drowze is the only sleep app built from the ground up for shift workers -- nurses, paramedics, 911 dispatchers, factory workers, and anyone whose schedule fights their biology every week. --- WHAT MAKES DROWZE DIFFERENT --- Every screen knows what shift you just worked. Finished a 12-hour night shift at 7 AM? Drowze says "the world is waking up -- here's how to tune it out." Not "Good evening, time to wind down." That's the difference. --- FREE FEATURES --- - Shift-Aware Sleep Mode Your home screen adapts in real time -- pre-shift, on-shift, post-shift, wind-down. Always relevant, never generic. - Sleep Soundscapes 3 scientifically chosen audio environments to block the world out while you sleep during the day. - Wind-Down Sessions 3 guided audio sessions to help your nervous system downshift after high-stress work hours. - Shift Schedule Builder Set up rotating, night, or irregular schedules. Drowze builds your sleep windows automatically. - Smart Bedtime Reminders Notifications that fire at the right time -- calculated from your actual shift end, not a fixed clock time. --- PRO: SLEEP LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT --- - Nap Optimizer Tells you exactly when and how long to nap based on your shift timing and sleep debt -- not just "take a 20-minute nap." - Sleep Debt Tracker See your real cumulative deficit, updated daily. Know when you're in the hole and when you've caught up. - Recovery Score A daily 0-100 score that accounts for sleep duration, consistency, and circadian recovery after shifts. - Caffeine Coach Tells you the optimal cutoff time for caffeine based on your shift and chronotype -- so it helps your performance, not wrecks your sleep. - Light Exposure Coach When to seek light and when to avoid it -- the most powerful circadian reset tool, timed to your schedule. - Full Soundscape & Session Library 8 soundscapes and 6 guided sessions, including deep-recovery content for night shift decompression. - Apple Health Sync Your sleep sessions sync to Apple Health automatically. --- WHO IT'S FOR --- - Registered Nurses & ICU staff on 12-hour rotations - Paramedics & EMTs on 24-hour shifts - Factory & warehouse workers on night lines - Police, firefighters & correctional officers - 911 dispatchers & security professionals --- THE SCIENCE --- Drowze is built on circadian rhythm research -- the same science that explains why shift workers have higher rates of sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic conditions. Every recommendation is grounded in sleep physiology, not generic wellness advice. Try free. Upgrade to Pro for $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Cancel anytime.
