SleepScore - the app that'll make your sleep better

SleepScore - The free innovative app that helps you to understand and improve your sleep
Deep sleep heals your body; REM sleep heals your mind. Yet, for something that is so important to our physical and mental health, sleep can be elusive. Even when we do sleep, we often wake up feeling as though we didn’t, with no idea why. We don’t have to spend the night tossing and turning and waking up every ten minutes to have a restless night. It’s not just about how long we sleep, either. It’s about how long you spend sleeping deeply, how long you experience that REM sleep. These are the important parts of sleep, without which we wonder why we even bothered.
California-based SleepScore Labs is a joint venture between ResMed, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Pegasus Capital Advisors, put together to help people track their sleep, understand it, and improve it.
Until recently, they have been selling a product called SleepScore Max, which they say is the world’s most advanced sleep improvement system. Now, they have launched a more accessible product which can be used by almost anyone: an app. The free app uses your phone’s speakers and microphone to bounce inaudible sound waves off you while you sleep, tracking every stage of sleep.
When you wake, you can see how long you spent getting to sleep, sleeping lightly, sleeping deeply, in the REM stage, and how long it took you to come around in the morning. Helpfully, the app actually explains what each of these things means.
Where SleepScore makes money is in the recommendations it gives for improving your sleep. While the breakdown and problems are provided for free, the solutions come with a subscription.
This subscription gives you these suggestions, sleep analytics tracking, reports for your doctor, and product recommendations.
Wearables that track these things are annoying and get in the way when you are trying to sleep, whereas you probably have your phone within arms reach all night anyway. So why not load up a free app and start sleeping better?
