Insomnia Coach

I'm a 64yrs old male and suddenly my sleep got in a terrible pattern. I was waking up many time a night and taking a long time to get back to sleep. I have never had this issue .. and I'm lucky that at my age I don't need to get up to go to the bathroom at all except rarely. The key of the approach is pretty simple. 1) Train your brain that bed is for 2 things (and one of them is sleep) 2) Figure out how many hrs you are sleeping in fragments. 3) Consolidate that sleep-time into a single chunk 4) Once that chunk is stable .. start growing the time. I'm now back to sleeping for >6-1/4 hrs a night reliably (which is just my old normal of 6-3/4). I'm hoping to slowly increase more over time. The app is free so costs nothing. It can be hard a first to stay awake to reset your clock... but stick with it.

Great app to track core features of sleep in general, review with sleep coach, do CBI-I (for insomnia) - which is tough but worth it, and gradually improve many things about your sleep health. There is a well rounded resource and education section that is helpful for many people. However, it is very aggressive about forcing you to update your bedtime and wake up time every 1-2 weeks, such that even if you mark that as “do later” and glance at another app and go back to enter more in your sleep log, it forces this reminder back in your face again every time! When you do update your bedtime & wake up times it locks any days you haven’t entered a sleep log for and you can never go back and fix them, and there’s no warning ahead of time it will do this. I still recommend this app, but would love to see these issues addressed.
