🧠 The Science Behind Sleepnosis

How sound, suggestion, and nightly consistency train your brain to fall asleep faster — and stay asleep longer.

TL;DR — Each night you press play, you reinforce a simple pattern: sound → calm → sleep. With consistency, your brain learns this cue and drifts off faster. 🌙

📱 Apps & Sleep Quality

Sleep therapy apps help people sleep better

Across a large sample (~10,000), CBT-based sleep apps improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia. Not as strong as in-person therapy, but effective for most users.

⏰ Consistency

Regular bedtimes train your brain to sleep faster

Keeping a steady bedtime routine regulates your body clock and improves sleep quality over time — even without increasing total hours.

💤 Sleep Cue Conditioning

Why the Sleepnosis sleep cue works

Listening to Sleepnosis each night combines relaxation with consistency — two proven foundations of healthy sleep hygiene. Calming audio lowers stress, while repetition trains your brain to recognize it as a reliable signal for sleep.
