My Sleep Journal vs Drift

Your Apple Watch collects a lot of sleep data. My Sleep Journal helps you understand it. See your night at a glance, then dig as deep as you want. My Sleep Journal brings your sleep data together in a clear, detailed view designed to help you explore what happened while you slept. COMPLETELY FREE Every feature is available from day one. There are no subscriptions, premium tiers, or locked features. If you enjoy My Sleep Journal and want to support continued development, optional tips are available. Tipping never unlocks additional functionality. Your sleep data is already there. My Sleep Journal helps you make sense of it. SEE YOUR NIGHT AT A GLANCE Start with a simple nightly summary showing your total sleep, Deep, Core, REM and Awake time. A visual sleep timeline makes it easy to see how your night unfolded. UNDERSTAND YOUR SLEEP QUALITY Go beyond hours slept with insights including: • Sleep efficiency
• Number of awakenings
• Restlessness
• Sleeping wrist temperature
• Time asleep and time in bed EXPLORE YOUR OVERNIGHT HEALTH DATA With permission, My Sleep Journal brings together sleep-related data available through Apple Health, including: • Sleeping heart rate
• Resting heart rate
• Overnight HRV
• Respiratory rate
• Blood oxygen
• Wrist temperature Available information depends on your device, Apple Watch model, and the data available in Apple Health. YOUR NIGHT, STAGE BY STAGE Want more than a summary? Explore individual sleep periods to see exactly when each stage started and ended, how long it lasted, and how your sleep changed throughout the night. SPOT TRENDS OVER TIME One night only tells part of the story. Browse previous nights and view averages and trends to see how your sleep changes over time. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS My Sleep Journal does not collect your personal data. Your health information is accessed through Apple Health only with your permission.

Drift teaches the CBT-I techniques clinicians use — a guided sleep-window plan you follow yourself, built from your own morning diary. Trackers measure your sleep. Drift is built around the intervention side: each week it reviews your diary and suggests how your in-bed window could move, using the published sleep-restriction titration rules (AASM clinical practice guideline; Edinger 2021), with a hard 6-hour minimum window and the full reasoning shown for every suggestion. NO FAKE SLEEP SCORE Your real sleep efficiency — time asleep over time in bed — charted against the 85% goal line from the published literature. No proprietary composite number, no grades. A 60-SECOND MORNING DIARY Apple Health pre-fills what it can (sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate) so you confirm instead of typing. The diary accepts any schedule, including cross-noon and rotating shifts, and "not sure" is always an answer. BUILT FOR REAL SCHEDULES - Standard track for classic insomnia patterns - Shift-work track with a higher safety floor - Perimenopause track that doesn't penalise hot-flash wake-ups - Pain-aware track with gentler pacing READS APPLE HEALTH, NEVER WRITES TO IT Drift is read-only on Apple Health, so it can't alter or corrupt your existing health data. AUDIO NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE On-device snore, cough, and sleep-talk detection stores only event labels — never recordings. Plus audiogram-tuned pink, brown, white, and rain noise. SAFETY-FIRST BY DESIGN A real safety screener: bipolar disorder, seizure history, and untreated sleep apnea switch Drift to diary + education mode, where the window never narrows. Drowsy-driving warnings are built in, and the window never goes below 6 hours. AN HONEST FREE TIER The morning diary, your efficiency trend, stimulus-control education, your first computed window and your first weekly review — free, forever. Drift Pro continues the weekly reviews and adds the coach, sound analysis, pink noise, and sleep stories.
