Maybe the solution is a shorter one like you mentioned, so it only helps me get into that sleepy phase. I completely agree in its effectiveness though, I often violate almost every rule of good sleep hygiene and a guided medication will still do the job of getting me to sleep if I'm desperate.

Our app is different from pure meditation/relaxation apps that offer “rain sounds”. Instead, we go through a psychology-based program (behavioral therapy) that walks you through the underlying causes of insomnia, helps you address the ones that are relevant to you, and uses techniques like sleep restriction therapy to limit the amount of time you spend in bed.

I’ll give an example. Let’s say when you go to bed at night, you’re constantly thinking about unfinished todos or worrying about some big upcoming event. While meditation and “rain sounds” might help distract you enough to fall asleep, what if you stopped having those thoughts in bed in the first place? That’s what our app aims to do.

In terms of pricing, we do offer a free, 7-day trial and our price ends up being about $45 per month. In comparison, seeing an in-person treatment specialist costs about $150-200 per session without insurance, or $25-$50 per session with insurance. Typically, you would see an in-person specialist every week or every other week.

I agree meditation is a bit of a short fix, but without knowing what this app really does, I have a difficult time trusting that it's anything more.

45/mo feels like a marketing trick when the minimum charged is $133 :(

There's definitely a mental block with paying hundreds of dollars for a phone app. Most apps on my phone remain unopened. I've tried a few health aids like this before.

I'd download a free/trial version if it helped me get any amount of of sleep back, and then with established trust, pay $20+/mo for access to rest of features.

Otherwise maybe sell through those specialists? Help them manage their patients.

I know I could hit cancel, but I am often bad at doing that on time, which leads me to avoid trying out things that require payment details up-front.

Thanks for sharing!

They also have excellent meditation for naps, where you can set how long you want to nap before they wake you up.

I think you feel that way because you don't need the app enough. $188 to fix sleep when you're not getting enough is a bargain.

$188 to not fix your sleep is not cheap.

Regarding efficacy, our program works for over 80% of our users and we're just as effective as in-person treatment. In comparison, seeing an in-person treatment specialist costs about $150-200 per session without insurance, or $25-$50 per session with insurance. Typically, you would see an in-person specialist every week or every other week.

That being said, we understand that not everyone can afford our program. Please email us at hello@slumber.one if you have difficulty paying for our program and we can find something that works for you!
