Reviews: What People Think About Slumber: Calm Stories & Sleep

Rating: 5/5
i’ve been using this app for 7 and a half years. i struggle with insomnia, anxiety, CPTSD, autism, ADHD, and many other problems that have made it almost impossible to sleep, almost my entire life. when i got my first phone as a kid i downloaded this app after browning on the app store, thinking it would be just like the other billion resources i had tried to help me sleep. i can’t thank the developers enough because nearly every time i’ve used this app to help me sleep it’s been successful. when i got older i was put on medication to help me sleep as well, and to balance out my chemicals, but sometimes when it was a rough night this app never failed to calm me down and just make me sleep instantly. growing up it took me at least 3 hours every night to sleep, and so many times i pulled an all-nighter just because i couldn’t sleep the whole night. i was absolutely hopeless when i first tried this app, genuinely seeing it as a last resort, but then after hearing only a few minutes of the recordings i remember it suddenly being morning. i thought, is this how it is supposed to be? i know this review was unreasonably long and i sound crazy, but to whomever is reading this, please just give this app a try. i’m so grateful for the hope it gave me and the countless eye bags it prevented 🩷

Slumber allows you to pick from several modalities of talk oriented sleep inducing paradigms. Dream Stories are bedtime stories which guide you into sleep and relaxation. Ex: “The Deep Dive” obviously written by a scuba diver, talks you thru a dive so accurate and intense you feel you are actually experiencing the dive. With “The Distant Storm” you feel you are on a beach, w warm sun and sand at sunset, listening to the waves and watching a beautiful storm in the distance. The stories are engrossing yet very relaxing and sleep inducing. Sleep Meditations are less involved w the story line and much more involved w your body and thoughts and tensions keeping you awake. Thru breathing techniques and progressive relaxation you are in almost a state of self hypnosis and gently encouraged to let go of all thoughts and sleep. W both the Stories and the Meditations u set up your preferred background sounds which continue for as long as you choose. I usually use headphones w either my phone or my iPad, since in your background settings there are Binaural beats’ which encourage alpha stage sleep, but I sometimes just put my head near my device and listen. It’s a wonderful feeling to realize you have been sleeping and you can just turn over and go back to sleep.

I struggled to fall asleep since I was a child. I always had to have the tv on to fall asleep, and yet I’d never sleep well with it on, either. It was a very restless sleep, constantly waking to the light and sound from the tv. But, if I used a timer on the tv, I’d always wake up in a panic as soon as it turned off. I tried prescriptions to help me sleep, spent many years as a complete insomniac, and never truly learned to fall asleep on my own. It was pretty hellish, now that I look back on it.
After my son was born and he was in our room in a bassinet, I realized very quickly I needed to make a change as I didn’t want him exposed to the tv’s blue light all night. I stumbled upon this app and that first night I used it, I fell asleep without needing the tv on for the first time in dozens of years, Sure, I was exhausted from having a newborn, but it was so much more than that! This app truly calmed me enough to fall asleep and stay asleep. It was incredible. My son is now almost 3 years old and I still use the app every single night. It is a lifesaver. I cannot recommend it enough. It truly saved my sanity and helped promote so much more calm and happiness in my life. Thank you!

Testimonials:
"My only problem with this app is it always makes me fall asleep before I finish the stories! Which I guess is the point, but I always try to make it through and never succeed!"

"I haven't slept all night without a sleep aid in ages. I've only had (slumber) for two nights, and I haven't slept like these two nights since I was a carefree kid! I have the Calm app, which also has bedtime stories, and that was ok, but still not a full night's sleep and not a lot of variety. Definitely not the control of content like this app provides. "
