Give it a go it does work
Had sleep issues for over 6 years so thought I'd give Sleepio a go. I've just finished week 2 and I can honestly say I have had huge improvements in my sleep. I went from 43% score to averaging around 90%. Right from the start I took on board some of the suggested changes ,eg no caffeine 6hrs before bed,eating dinner 3hrs before bed,breathing meditation, no TV or social media 30 minutes before bed,thought blocker exercise which works really well and wearing an eye mask as I don't like a dark room. Week 2, sleep restriction week was hard but it works, timings on my schedule were wrong and there was no way to amend them, I did have to go to bed well before the suggested bedtime as I couldn't keep awake but fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. I have had to get up on one occasion due to being awake for more than 15 minutes but that's all part of the process. I do still wake several times a night but by doing the thought blocker im normally back asleep in 5 minutes. I'm surprised at so many negative comments, I can only assume people think the app itself is going to do the work for them. In order to make the change you need to be open to making changes to your bedtime routine and that includes the sleep restriction, which won't last forever. I highly recommend the app if you use it with a positive mindset
