Sleepy 2.0 | My Site

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep despite having the opportunity for adequate sleep. It can have significant impacts on a person's daily functioning, mood, and overall quality of life. It is a widespread issue, with estimates suggesting that approximately 10-30% of the general population experiences chronic insomnia.

Insomnia is a complex sleep disorder, and while it may not always be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can often be effectively managed and treated. The goal of treatment is typically to improve sleep quality, duration, and overall well-being. There exist both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical solutions to this problem. Medications, such as sedative-hypnotics, may be prescribed in some cases. However, their use is typically limited to the short term, and long-term use is generally discouraged due to potential side effects and the risk of dependence. Non-pharmacological interventions, including relaxation techniques, sleep hygiene education, and stimulus control, can play a crucial role in managing insomnia.

The Sleepy App is designed to assist users in winding down both their body and mind, preparing them for bedtime with soothing melodies and relaxation-inducing activities like guided meditations and exercises. In the event that sleep remains elusive and users find themselves awake, the app facilitates connections with fellow insomnia sufferers through chat features, ensuring they don't experience the challenges of insomnia alone.
