What is BetterSleep?
BetterSleep is a sleep application available on iOS, Android, and web that combines two core functions: sleep monitoring and sleep facilitation. On the tracking side, it records sleep duration, detects sleep stages through phone sensors or connected wearables, and generates nightly sleep quality scores with trend reports over time. On the facilitation side, it offers a library of customizable soundscapes — users can layer ambient sounds such as rain, white noise, and nature recordings into personalized mixes. It also includes a collection of guided hypnosis sessions designed for relaxation and sle ep onset, as well as narrated bedtime stories for adults. Users can set sleep schedules with gentle alarm sounds and review t heir sleep data in weekly and monthly summaries. A free tier covers basic sleep tracking and a limited sound library; a premi um tier unlocks the full soundscape library, all hypnosis sessions and stories, advanced sleep analytics, and wearable device integration.
