Idk why this isn't rated higher, it's an older app that could use an update, but the sleep hygiene stuff hasn't really changed much since then. And I appreciate a free resource that has no ads provided by our government. And a few days in and it's improving my sleep,. It's free, easy to use, although the questions are a little confusing, no ads. Great app!

A good daily sleep journal with good practical tips. I've used for four months now. There are a few flaws holding it back. First, there appears to be some data integrity issues: often, prior days will appear to lack an entry when I know I completed it. Also, when I go to edit a previous entry, all the values are different than what I previously entered. Second, the notifications are scattershot and inconsistent. Third, the tips get repetitive and could benefit from more depth and tailoring.

Decent app but weird oversights make it frustrating to use. Current example: I fell asleep at 4:05 PM yesterday and didn't wake up until 4:30 the following day. Unusual, sure; but not unheard of for someone with serious sleep debt. It's seemingly impossible to log this, though. No matter how many times I check to make sure it's correct, I'm given a message that I've entered a negative number for my hours slept. Hope this gets fixed because it's a cool app.

It's clear to me that nobody with insomnia was involved in testing this UI. There's no way to record split sleep schedules or days on which there was no sleep. There are unnecessary fields and fields that can't be answered. I'm better off with a spreadsheet.

Update number two: I often spend upwards of 45 minutes awake in the middle of the night. App still isn't addressing that or even calculating it into my sleep time. Kept trying but totally useless. Update: the app simply doesn't address my main issue, which is waking up in the middle of the night. It asks whether I wake up at night but seems to ignore the information I provide. Then I just updated my wake time to a half hour earlier, and my in bed time remained the same. Disappointing.
