Sleep is a paradox: the harder you try, the harder it gets.

WikiSleep uses that paradox to your advantage. Because our content is genuinely interesting, you can easily get lost in a story and simply stop trying to fall asleep—a shift in approach that makes all the difference.

HOW IT WORKS

WikiSleep uses a simple but surprisingly effective technique called Cognitive Diversion—which is just a fancy way of saying we give your mind something better to focus on than whatever's keeping you awake.

While most sleep apps ask you to work at relaxing—clearing your mind, finding calm, etc—WikiSleep goes the other way. We draw you into stories that are easy to get lost in, and as that happens, mental noise fades, your body unwinds and before you know it, you're asleep.
