Slumber－Calm Stories for Sleep

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 🩷

I am in love with this app! I have been using Calm for a while now with a year membership, and still using it for it’s music and soundscapes, mainly. It’s a good app-but they do not add new material as often as I prefer-their sleep story list is limited, plus I’m not interested in children’s stories, as I have no kids. But your app, Slumber, has a pretty large collection already of stories. My only complaints are that I wish for more soundscapes and more nature sounds. I am having a little trouble finding stories that peak my interest or that are soothing to the anxious mind-like taking you away from every day life and sending you on a calming adventure to say different regions of the world. Those work well for me, personally.!Maybe I just haven’t used my time well enough to go through what’s available, as it is a large library (which again, I’m still thrilled with). Also I emailed the creator directly asking if there were any promos. The answer was no, and that in fact, they are about to increase the subscription price. This was disappointing to me because I’m al about promos considering that competitiveness in this huge app market that’s really important. Am I purchasing it anyway, for a full year? Yep, I am. Just wish he’d have been willing to propose a deal. ALL THAT BEING SAID: I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS APPLICATION & WILL COMPLETELY RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS. Thank you for your hard work that’s made this app what it is. I hope you continue to add content & updates. Have a good one!

Speechless. That’s truly the only word I can use to describe how amazing this app is, I personally have trouble sleeping since I face anxiety throughout the day and even sometimes at night. My fears of having something wrong happening to me creep up on me without a sound just get to me, I begin to overthink, I begin to ask myself questions over and over, I stress myself out to the point where I feel like I’m hopeless sometimes at night and all I do is just lay in bed waiting for the sun to come up since it’s pointless of me sleeping anymore. I was never one to believe in white noise, or sounds to help put me to sleep, I thought it was all a hoax, thought it wouldn’t help how can noise help me sleep? If it’s the main reason I can’t sleep. Well I went ahead and tried this app out cause I had nothing else to loose I’m already awake laying on this bed while everyone else is enjoying there slumber. So I tried my first session on the app, and by gosh the calming voice the woman uses, the sounds the app makes as background noises, the way you can adjust how loud you want the noises it’s all just so very peaceful, I had my earbuds in for maximum effectiveness and it just felt so calming, I felt like I was actually at the location of the session. It made me so calm and relaxed, my breathing was calm, I wasn’t worrying, my heart stopped beating so quick, and I tuned out every other outside noise except the app’s. I just wanna say to the developers thank you. Thank you for helping me sleep at night while my anxiety still tries to get to me, because of you I can peacefully sleep now.
