The app launched in June 2018, and its technology (developed by academic researchers before it was licensed to SleepScore) is the result of more than 12 years of scientific research. We also like how open SleepScore is about its science. Of course, if you suspect a medical issue, you should see your doctor for actual treatment SleepScore’s Doctor Report feature prints out 30 days’ worth of data that you can take to your appointment. The advice on good sleep hygiene, distilled from scientific publications and sleep textbooks and verified by an internal team of scientists, wasn’t particularly earth-shattering (for example: avoid alcohol and screen time too soon before bed), but it was nice to have some direction. (The free version doesn’t provide customized advice or a record of personal trends, and it shows you only the past seven days of sleep, so we think the premium version is worth shelling out for.) Both of us selected “perfect your sleep” as our goal in the premium version of the app, but it also offers six other options to choose from, including “sleep longer,” “wake up less,” and “sharpen my mind.” Our choice, in turn, placed us on an “improve your sleep hygiene path” and led us to a list of sleep-optimizing strategies, such as avoiding heavy or high-acidity meals. The premium version of SleepScore, priced at $50 per year or $6 per month, was also the only phone app we tested that allowed us to set a goal and advised us on how to achieve it.
