Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best part of this system is there is no additional hardware to deal with other than the app. Installing and setting up the app is very easy. The system is even better if you have a wearable device that can track heart rate when you sleep. I have been using this for about a week and it has provided valuable information about my sleep.

I am usually a healthy person but I have struggled with sleeping issues most of my life. Either because I have very sensitive ears - I wake up at the sound of anything, even a whisper -, or because I wake in the middle of the night and get back to sleep. In addition, I suffered from obstructive apnea although I have never been obese. It was never a loud snore but it did affect me badly. I fixed that over two years ago with a simple mouth guard, which improved my sleep and my life quality in a way I never thought I would experience. The reason I am saying that is that I truly believe that you not always need to spend thousands of dollars to improve your health. A simple solution might work better than very expensive ones. Maybe not for everyone but that worked for me really well. Although my sleep quality improved considerably, I still wake up in the middle of the night a few times a week and just cannot get back to sleep. I have used an app called SnoreLab and it tells me that I rarely snore. When it does happen, it lasts for less than 5 minutes a night. I also use iFit Sleep tracker under my mattress, which works really well. All that, tells me how good or bad my sleep pattern is. Therefore, the promise of a program that would help me keep asleep caught my attention. I tried this Philips SmartSleep program with the hope it would provide me with the tools to help me keep asleep or at least fall back to sleep when I woke up in the middle of the night. First, it came in a package that looked like there was something more than just a journal and a QR code. Nice but that was it. Second, I downloaded the Sleeprate app by scanning the QR code. Very easy and no issues When I used it for the first night, I was nicely surprised that it could use the iFit Sleep tracker. It also had the option to use my Apple watch but I opted for the former since I don’t have to wear it and I don’t have to worry about keeping it charged. I was expecting a lot from this program but I was quickly disappointed. In the first morning, it greeted me but there was no data available for me to see. It just submitted the data to Philips for analysis. The same happened in the next three nights. It was frustrating to wait that long to see the result on the app but I finally got it. It was detailed, including recording of sounds – I snored only twice for a few seconds in those days. It included everything my iFit and the SnoreLab apps have but that was it. Today, I opened the app and it told me there was an Assement Report. It was somewhat detailed but nothing new to me; except that I tend to overestimate the time it takes for me to fall asleep. Now, I will follow their “improvement” program and see if I will benefit from it. In summary, all the information I got was redundant although I like the fact that I have to use only one app to track my sleep now. I like the videos and instructions but again, it is something you can get free online if you have the patience. Personally, I would pay for an app that puts everything in one place like this Philips program does. Since it is coming from a big company with healthcare experience, I really wish they had included some physical monitoring tool or something to justify its purchase. I simply ignored the included journal, which looks more like something for a kid. Overall, the program is not bad but I was expecting more than what I’ve got. Even if following the program will help me in the long run, Philips should have worked in its presentation better. So far, I am not impressed.

The presentation of this product is impressive, but what really impresses is inside the box, there is only one diary and a QR code to activate the one-year subscription. The application needs to evaluate you for a week, later it will be based on what it learned during that period, to be able to help you. The app with the journal will guide you through information and challenges, in order to be more aware of the importance of sleeping well. The information is really valuable and if you have discipline, since it is important to keep the information in the newspaper and the application up to date, it may be a great help for you. I think that if Philips added some device or something that could track the dream in real time, the results could be much better. In summary, do not expect much, despite of the stunning presentation of the product, you will only have a personalized guide on your cell phone and a journal that will have to be filled out as you go. If you have a compatible smartwatch, it may be helpful.

Buying into a helpful program put together by doctors and scientists study this kind of thing That's a difference in your life. I thought I slept okay but it wasn't until I spent about a week on this program that I realized I could be sleeping a lot better. I don't have some amazing $9,000 mattress I just have a good old-fashioned bed but this program simply put is just amazing. If you have self-discipline, and you want to sleep better, this is for you. Can't wait to renew my subscription next year.

After using this program for the last month, it has helped me get into a better sleep routine. Something about having the book to go along with the app to write down my experiences instead of typing them into my phone has made me more aware of my tendencies. I honestly didn't think I would come to this conclusion when I first got it. Using this program is simple to get started.

Admittedly, this review is kind of shallow as the real "results" can't be measured until the multi-week course is complete. But, so far, this looks great. My wife has always had trouble falling/staying asleep while still feeling sluggish throughout the day. This is NOT a miracle bullet for that. This is a sort of a workout regimen for sleep helping to establish new habits/patterns for better. Just like working out, it needs commitment to measure and establish your road map. The interface is easy to use, and once her Fitbit was connected, it really laid out the truth about her patterns. I'm with her on this journey, but with what we've done so far, it has been helpful in guiding her in the right direction. So, the rating is based on the limited use, the great interface, and the exercise usefulness thus far. Happy sleeping.
