Can't Sleep: Fall Asleep Fast

Can't sleep? When your mind is racing at 3am, Can't Sleep gives you one calm thing to do right now: tap "Help me sleep" and follow a gentle 12-minute wind-down to fall asleep. No ads, no account. Breathe slowly, quiet racing thoughts, relax your body or play soft sleep sounds. Every tool is built for the dark: a warm, dim screen, chimes and soft vibration, so you can keep your eyes closed. WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP RIGHT NOW • Help me sleep: one tap starts a guided wind-down. Breathe, shuffle, settle. • Try another: if something isn't working tonight, switch to a different tool in one tap. • Get up for a bit: awake for 20 minutes? A quiet, dim reset based on the CBT-I 20-minute rule, then back to bed when you feel sleepy. QUIET RACING THOUGHTS • Cognitive shuffle, read aloud: a soft voice says one random word every few seconds. Picture it, let it go, and let your mind drift off. No reading, eyes closed. • Write it down: empty tomorrow's to-do list out of your head before bed. • 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, rewritten for a dark bedroom. • Guided imagery and candle focus, for when the cognitive shuffle isn't enough. BREATHING EXERCISES FOR SLEEP Follow a glowing ember that fills as you breathe in and empties as you breathe out. • Physiological sigh: two breaths in, one long sigh out • 4-7-8 breathing • Box breathing, traced around a square at a steady pace • Slow breathing at six breaths a minute DEEP REST FOR 3AM WAKE-UPS • NSDR (non-sleep deep rest): a yoga nidra style body scan with long, slow exhales • Eye movement reset: slow closed-eye movements for falling back asleep • Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) • The military sleep method SLEEP SOUNDS THAT NEVER LOOP Rain sounds, white noise, brown noise, pink noise, ocean waves, night forest, campfire, stream, distant thunderstorm, fan and a warm drone. Every sleep sound is generated live on your phone, so you never hear a loop while you fall asleep. Mix up to four sounds and set a sleep timer that fades out gently over the last minute.
