Despite being initially sceptical, I have to admit my sleep has improved.
But what does it actually do?
What is the Rise sleep app?
Rise has an exclusive offer bringing you an extended free trial.
With our link you’re free to get 14 days rather than 7 free with Rise.
After that, a yearly subscription is $69.99.
So, this subscription fee is a minor dip in that budget.
I was surprised by the metrics it came up with.
Interesting but not life changing.
What really threw me was the time it was suggesting I went to sleep and woke up.
Im all for a 9:30pm bedtime but an alarm between 4:45am and 5:45am seemed a bit extreme.
But why not give it a try?
So, I trusted the app and the sleep specialists behind it and put this routine to the test.
Sticking to these suggestions has been helping me fall asleep fast and sleep through the night undisturbed.
Rather than focussing on overall sleep duration, Rise encourages you to hit bedtime and wake time goals.
Be it placebo or not, I have found the energy peaks and dips to be accurate.
I am a morning person through and through and the app has shown this with my predicted energy levels.
Ive long found myself victim to the typical 3pm dip, and the app has accurately predicted this.
And, unsurprisingly, I tend to have a burst of energy when closing my laptop at 5:30pm.
The notifications are a handy reminder to harness your energy peaks and dips.
The ‘peak approaching’ notifications have been encouraging me to get things picked off my to-do list.
It is natural for the human body to experience these energy fluctuations throughout the day, after all.
Splitting it up into 25 minutes over the week makes catching up on rest seem more manageable.
I’ve felt more refreshed this week than I usually do after a groggy day in bed.
But, admittedly, it didn’t do anything revolutionary compared to other sleep trackers.
These trackers also hold you accountable around your routine.
Instead use it as a tool for holding yourself accountable around your sleep schedule.
As my experience has shown, a weekend of little sleep can be fixed.
