This sounds like complete nonsense, and zero evidence is presented. It's just an ad for some app, as if what people who can't sleep need is to be bothered by their phone. There are myriad causes of insomnia including physical, psychological, environmental, and combinations. Stress and anxiety are the biggest factors for people like me. I sincerely doubt this guy has ever had insomnia from anything other than partying too much. If I followed any of the listed advice I'd be up for a week at a time.
- rahulshiv 7y agoHey, author here. I did have Insomnia for a few months before coming across Sleep Restriction (the method in question in the article) after some serious life-changing events. Here is Stanford's guide to sleep restriction: https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-treatments/c/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-insomnia/procedures/sleep-restriction.html https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-treatments/c/cognitiv... This is an evidence-based method, meaning its been proven clinically to work. I'll make sure to add some citations so it seems more legitimate. PS: We also have a full guide on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for which sleep restriction is a subset: http://sleepedy.com/cbt-for-insomnia http://sleepedy.com/cbt-for-insomnia
- rahulshiv 7y agoAlso re: Our app is never supposed to be used at night. It just provides you with the tools (coach, behavioral techniques, sleep schedule) that are consumed during the day. I'd be happy to set you up with an extended trial (~1 month) and would love to see if our coaches and the above method could help you sleep better.
