Most sleep apps assume you sleep at night. If you work shifts, that's the whole problem — they score you against a 9-to-5 clock you don't work, so the nap you took before a night shift looks like "failure" instead of recovery. AfterShift is built the other way around. It measures your sleep and recovery between shifts — shift-to-shift, not midnight-to-midnight — so the numbers finally match the life you actually live. GLANCEABLE — WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Your next shift lives on your Lock Screen and Home Screen. Widgets show the countdown to your shift, your recovery, and your plan for right now. A Live Activity counts you down to shift start — then rolls into your wind-down window — on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Start an anchor nap and watch it tick down there too. All free. YOUR ROSTER, READ FOR YOU Connect your calendar and AfterShift detects your shifts automatically — no typing in three weeks of rota by hand. It even spots overtime and schedule changes. Five shift types are modelled: day, evening, night, on-call, and off. RECOVERY, TIMED TO WHEN YOU CLOCK OUT See how ready you are for your next shift, how your sleep debt is trending across cycles, and a clear recovery plan for the hours you actually have — not a generic "aim for 8 hours" you can't reach before a 7pm start. YES, THE NAP COUNTS Pre-shift naps, split sleep, and on-call rest are first-class here. AfterShift knows a 90-minute nap before nights is recovery, and scores it like one. REMINDERS TIMED TO YOUR SHIFT — FREE Wind-down, caffeine cut-off, and nap-window reminders fire relative to your next shift start, not the clock on the wall. All free. A COACH FOR NIGHTS, NOT MORNINGS 21 sleep techniques chosen for shift work — fall asleep faster after a late finish, reset on a turnaround, nap without the grogginess. Each one tells you when to use it and how long it takes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud sync. No employer dashboard. Sleep is read from Apple Health (read-only), and on Pro, explanations are generated by on-device Apple Intelligence — your data is never sent to a server. AUTOMATIC SLEEP IMPORT Last night's sleep from Apple Health appears on its own — open the app in the morning and it's already there. EXPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR OR OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Generate a clean PDF or CSV recovery report to share with a GP, sleep clinic, or occupational health team. BUILT FOR • Nurses and rotating hospital staff • Paramedics and firefighters • Factory, logistics, and aviation ground crews • Hospitality and overnight staff • Anyone whose sleep window moves week to week FREE TO START Track your roster, import sleep, see your recovery score, add the widgets, and get shift-timed reminders — free. Upgrade to Premium for multi-calendar background sync, overtime tracking, and on-device AI explanations. One-time Lifetime option available, and Premium is shareable with your family. Available in 39 languages. Sleep isn't broken. The app finally fits the shifts. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

루미는 불면증 인지행동치료(CBT-I) 원리를 바탕으로, 수면제 없이 잠드는 힘을 되찾도록 돕는 수면 코칭 앱입니다. 불면증 인지행동치료(CBT-I)는 미국수면의학회와 미국내과학회가 만성 불면증에 가장 먼저 권하는 비약물 방법이에요. 루미는 이 원리를 39일 프로그램에 담았습니다. 매일 수면일지를 쓰고 하루 20분 활동을 실천하면, 전담 코치가 기록을 보고 매주 피드백과 다음 주 방향을 함께 잡아드려요. ― 불면증을 개선하기 위해 멜라토닌, ASMR, 수면제 등을 사용해보신 적이 있을 거예요. 그때는 잠시 도움이 되기도 합니다. 하지만 이런 방법들은 말 그대로 ‘보조 수단’일 뿐, 수면의 질을 근본적으로 개선하지는 못합니다. 진짜 중요한 건 ‘더 잘 자려고 애쓰는 것’이 아니라, 내 몸의 습관과 생각을 바꾸는 것입니다. 한번 떠올려보세요. 예전에 잘 자던 시절, 잠들기 위해 특별히 노력했었나요? 아마 아니었을 거예요.
 그냥 누우면, 어느새 자연스럽게 잠이 들었을 겁니다. 이처럼, 잠이란 원래 억지로 만들어내는 것이 아니라, 몸과 마음이 스스로 잠들 수 있는 환경을 만들어주는 것입니다. 루미는 바로 그 지점에 집중합니다. ― 이런 분들께 추천드려요 - 멜라토닌이나 수면제에 의존하지 않고 잠들고 싶은 분 - 잠에 드는게 어려우신 분 - 잠은 자는데 개운하지 않고, 자주 깨는 분 - ‘잘 자야 한다’는 압박 때문에 오히려 잠이 더 어려운 분 - 내 수면 상태를 제대로 이해하고, 근본적으로 수면을 개선하고 바꾸고 싶은 분 ― 루미의 주요 기능 ▶ 불면증 인지행동치료(CBT-I) 기반 39일 프로그램 수면을 방해하는 생각과 습관을 점검하고, 수면 제한·자극 조절·인지 재구성·이완 훈련 같은 CBT-I 방법을 내 생활에 맞게 실천합니다. ▶ 나의 수면 상태를 파악하는 수면 설문 현재 수면 상태와 방해 요인을 체계적으로 확인할 수 있어요. ▶ 매일 작성하는 수면 일지 잠든 시간, 깬 시간, 수면의 질을 기록하며
내 수면 패턴을 눈으로 확인합니다. ▶ 수면 리포트로 한눈에 보는 변화 수면 효율과 흐름을 점수와 그래프로 확인하고,
지금 상태에 맞는 피드백을 받아보세요. ▶ 전담 코치와 함께하는 주간 코칭 코어·인텐시브 플랜에서는 매주 예약한 시간에 코치와 1:1 채팅으로 만나, 한 주의 수면 기록을 함께 보고 다음 주 수면 시간과 실천 방법을 조정해요. ― 잠을 ‘관리’하지 말고, 다시 ‘맡겨보세요’ 루미는 잠을 통제하려 하지 않습니다. 대신, 잠이 자연스럽게 찾아올 수 있도록 몸과 마음을 원래의 상태로 되돌려줍니다. 루미와 함께,
아무 걱정 없이 잠들던 그때로 돌아가요. ― *Morin CM, et al. JAMA. 2009;301(19):2005-2015 **Glass J, et al. BMJ. 2005;331(7526):1169 ***Jacobs GD, et al.
