Don't Count Sheep, Shuffle Your Thoughts to Sleep.

LifeHacker calls mySleepButton®, "surprisingly effective". The NY Times, The Guardian, Forbes Magazine, Government of Canada, The BC Medical Journal online, and many others have featured mySleepButton. Popular Science says it is "Just better". CoolTools (KK.org) says it "just knocks me out".

The purpose of mySleepButton is to help you fall asleep. And to return to sleep. It's easy: Just push the "Put Me to Sleep" button and imagine the rich variety of images that mySleepButton prompts you to visualize. This dreamy stream of images may distract you from your worries and put you in a state that is conducive to sleep. This is known as "the cognitive shuffle", because it involves shuffling your thoughts.

mySleepButton offers three different cognitive shuffle modes. You can imagine a variety of "simple things" (like a river, mountain and stars), scenes (like walking on a trail, or watching someone play guitar), and even imagine yourself drawing things. It's a surprisingly pleasant way to fall asleep.

Getting sufficient sleep can improve your cognitive productivity and overall well-being. So why not try mySleepButton?

mySleepButton uses both recorded human voice packs and synthetic voice packs. The synthetic packs use Android's built-in or installed Text-to-Speech function, which can be customized in various ways, including changing the voice between female and male. See https://mysleepbutton.com/support/ for details.

Updates to the built-in packs are an additional charge (lowest charge next to zero that Google Play allows).

The free version worked great the first night. Went to use it the 2nd day and I didn't have an option to play without upgrading to a paid version. Uninstalled/reinstalled it - same thing happened. Super bummed because it was very effective when it worked!

This is a great idea and has got me to sleep a few times but the simple things option is too short. It isnt clear what purchasing an upgrade gives - I'd be happy to pay if it was longer and had more options

I love the idea of this app and really enjoyed it for the 30 seconds i could use it. But each time my screen times out the app stops, making it useless. I set my phone battery settings to never put this app to sleep but that did not change anything. I hope they fix this issue because i think this is brilliant idea.
