## Description

mySleepButton is a CogSci Apps invention designed to help you fall asleep using the cognitive shuffle technique. In practice, you lie in bed, tap the 'Put Me to Sleep' button, and imagine the descriptions it reads to you—letting your thoughts rearrange into a soothing, sleep-ready pattern. The core method is a drug-free approach to quiet a restless mind and ease into rest.

Beyond the shuffle, mySleepButton includes a configurable 'affective body scan' meditation pack that taps into the body's maps. If you're still awake after the meditation, you can proceed to guided shuffled imagery. It also supports hands-free use via AirPods and HomePod, with Siri shortcuts for quick night-time access. The app is free to try with no subscription; you buy packs you like to extend your session. The goal is to keep your mind off concerns while guiding you toward restful sleep.

## Review summary

Overall, reviewers repeatedly praise MySleepButton as a powerful non-drug sleep aid that helps many people fall asleep quickly and improve sleep continuity through cognitive shuffle prompts. The app’s scenes and simple-things imagery, with customizable timing, are commonly cited as the key mechanism. Some users report life-changing benefits, especially for insomnia and racing thoughts. However, several recurring issues appear: occasional stability problems after iOS updates; mixed customer support experiences; voice quality and audio inconsistencies; monetization concerns; and desires for more variety and complete timer customization. Despite these, the core sleep benefits are widely recognized.

- Non-pharmacological sleep aid that many users find life-changing, sometimes replacing sleep meds like melatonin.

### Cons

- Inconsistent or slow customer support; some users report no response.
- Voice quality and audio issues, including robotic/synthetic voices and inconsistent volume between sentences.
