Sleep On Cue™

Looking for an app that does more than just track your sleep, remind you not to drink too much coffee, or play rainforest sounds? Or interested in taking a custom length nap? Developed by a Certified Clinical Sleep Educator and Licensed Sleep Technologist of 25+ years, the Sleep On Cue™ app gives you an active way to work on your sleep without pills or gimmicks. Based on Australian sleep research of Intensive Sleep Retraining, this app is totally different than all other sleep apps. Here's how it works:


For Sleep Training:

Use the Sleep On Cue™ app around bedtime, THE NIGHT AFTER any night of poor sleep. Simply lie down in bed with your iPhone gently held in your hand. You will hear a series of tones (adjust the volume to keep them very faint). You might want to try using earbud headphones. A slight shake of the phone after each faint tone informs the Sleep On Cue™ app that you are still awake. When you stop responding, the Sleep On Cue™ app knows you have fallen asleep. Following the protocol of Intensive Sleep Retraining, your phone vibrates to alert you that the sleep trial is over.

Next, the Sleep On Cue™ app asks if you THINK you fell asleep, then tells you if you are correct or not. Over time, this process can greatly improve your awareness OF falling asleep, which leads to better ability TO fall asleep. The app then prompts you to leave the bed for a couple of minutes, return, and repeat. 10-15 sleep trials around bedtime (again, following ANY night of poor sleep) can be all it takes to restore confidence in your sleep!

Periodic sleep training with the Sleep On Cue™ app can help reduce reliance on sleeping pills for sleep (always with physician guidance). And after each sleep training session, a summary graph shows your progress during the sleep trials you perform. These graphs are always saved and can be shared (e.g., with your doctor).


For taking a Custom Nap:

The Sleep On Cue™ app lets you enter the amount of time you have for a nap, as well as how long you want to sleep in your nap time. For a custom nap, Sleep On Cue™ uses the same call/response (faint tone/slight shake) method, but once you fall asleep and stop responding to the tones, the app silently keeps going. Then, when the amount of time you entered to actually sleep during your nap is up, Sleep On Cue™ vibrates the phone to wake you up. It's that easy and convenient!

So whether you want to do some sleep training around bedtime to get your sleep back on track after a rough night, or you simply need an afternoon nap, the Sleep On Cue™ app is your way to better sleep health.
