Hi Product Hunters!
We decided to create Enough Sleep after realising we were tired way to often. We could not find a solution that would help us solve our problem, and decided to create it by ourselves. We created Enough Sleep, that would help us find the optimal amount of sleep needed for each night. This is done by taking into account:
* How active the current day is
* How much sleep you got last night
* Making the app smart, by learning over time what is the optimal amount of sleep for you, from your daily usage and feedback.
Take a look at the science of getting enough sleep, and you can see the many benefits it can bring to your life.
The product aims to give you optimal recommendations for each night. And you can use it as a normal alarm clock. However it requires a will to improve, to follow its recommendations. As of this the product will probably be best suited for people serious about performing at their top level over time; as students, athletes, and people in high performance jobs.
You can download Enough Sleep for free.
We’d love to hear your feedback, and answer any questions you may have.
Thanks,
Marius and Ranik
@marius_g Hello Marius, I'm excited to try that out. But would you guys roll out the Apple Watch version for this? I never use my iPhone alarm, and rely on Apple Watch's alarm instead. Thanks!
@marius_g Going to download. Seems cool. I've been kind of looking for something like this for years because I struggle with sleeping. Does it, or do you intend, to offer some benefits for people who have problems sleeping as well?
@m1lesv Thanks! We have not focused on people having trouble falling asleep, but would love to hear your suggestions to any features that could help with this.
The only (small) feature we have related to this, is "Sleeping tips" that can be found in settings. Not eating sugar or drinking coffee after 5 PM, and having a dark and cool bedroom, are two of the main tips. You could also dim the lights when you get the "Prepare for bed" notification 40 minutes before you should go to sleep, to lower the melatonin levels in your body. If you have any other suggestions, than feel free to share them.
Hi @philipkuklis, thanks! Glad you like it! We tried to make the alarm sound gentle. It will steadily increase in volume and gently wake you up, while vibrating. To hear the sound you can set your wake up time a few minutes from now, and press "start". Don't worry -the app will not register sleep below 2 hours, so it won't mess with your sleep history.
If the app recommends you to go to sleep earlier than you are used to, we suggest using some days to slowly adjust to this new go to bed time. A tip here can be to on purpose get little sleep one night, or exercise hard, just to make it easier to fall asleep at the new and earlier time the coming evening. Wish you a good night's sleep!
@philipkuklis Thanks! Happy you appreciate it as much as we do -as we spent a lot of time trying to make the wake up experience as good as possible :)

Awesome. I've been using Sleepytime for a while, which is based on your natural deep sleep cycles. I think I don't always get an optimal sleep time because Sleepytime doesn't consider several factors that influence your sleep, like Enough Sleep seems to. I'm going try it out tonight!
@nscmnto Hope our solution will give you more optimal recommendations! Just give the app a couple of days to learn from your sleeping history, and the recommendations should become quite accurate. Let me know how it goes!

@marius_g I've been having the best sleep in a longest time, while waking up early. The thing I like the most, and what I struggled with, is that it tells me when should I go to bed. The alarm sound is great and I wake up very naturally. However I have to ask: why did you choose that bell sound for the go-to-sleep notification?
@nscmnto Thank you for that positive feedback! We are glad you found Enough Sleep useful. We chose the bell sound, as we thought a sound was needed to make people aware of the notification, and a church bell sound was the sound that represented time (to go to sleep) best. Would you suggest us using another sound, or remove the sound completely? Right now you are able to turn of the go to bed reminder in settings. And you won't hear the bell sounds if your phone is in silent mode. However the wake up alarm will sound no matter if you have the phone in silent mode or not :)

@marius_g I totally agree that a sound is essential to make people aware of that and get into that state of mind. I like the church sound because it's effective, but at the same time it's kinda somber. Maybe using a "happier" sound wouldn't be as effective, hence my question!
@salomebdx Feel free to tell us your experience using the app, and give us any feedback! :)

I was really excited by this since I'm definitely someone who doesn't sleep enough. So I installed the app to try it...it drained my battery during the night. I believe there are some optimization needed since it used 40% of my battery in background activity.
Unfortunately this is a bummer for me. I will give it another try when this will be fix.
