A gentler path through difficult nights
Stop making sleep another test.
Meet sleep worry, wakefulness, and tired days with a practical four-week program grounded in psychological flexibility.
RestWise Core 2.0
Step out of the struggle with sleep.
RestWise Sleep is a four-week, ACT-informed educational program. Instead of asking you to force sleep, think positively, or perform the perfect routine, it helps you notice pressure, make room for uncertainty, step back from urgent sleep stories, and keep moving toward the life that matters to you.
4-Week Program
Short daily lessons pair clear teaching with practical experiments and optional journal reflection.
In-the-Moment Support
Choose support for racing thoughts, clock checking, body tension, uncertainty, or a difficult morning.
Thought Tool
Practice seeing a thought as a thought—without arguing with it, disproving it, or waiting for it to disappear.
Private Journal
Save optional reflections, values, struggle-loop maps, difficult-night plans, and signs of quiet progress.
Guided Meditations
Train present-moment awareness and a different relationship with thoughts and sensations—not sleep induction.
Ongoing Practice
Continue after the core program with brief practices for setbacks, tired-day living, and reconnection.
No sleep tracking. No scores. No streaks. RestWise Sleep is designed to support rest, not measure it.
Open. Aware. Engaged.
Practice flexibility, day and night.
Sleep anxiety does not always begin at bedtime. Monitoring energy, seeking certainty, rehearsing tomorrow, and treating sensations as warnings can also narrow the day. RestWise helps you recognize those patterns in ordinary moments, when there may be more room to choose your response.
Open
Allow thoughts, feelings, and sensations to be present without making their removal the next task.
Aware
Notice the present, hear the mind's forecasts as thoughts, and remember that no passing sleep story is all of who you are.
Engaged
Use values like a compass and choose a small, workable action in the direction that matters—even while tired.
Independent clinical review
Reviewed with care.
RestWise Sleep’s clinical and educational content was independently reviewed by Manuel Estrada, Clinical Psychologist and ACT/CBT practitioner, for alignment with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, relevant cognitive-behavioral principles, and appropriate behavioral framing for insomnia.
Privacy by design
Your sleep journey is personal. RestWise requires no account. Program progress, journal entries, check-ins, values, and reader positions are stored locally on your device and leave it only when you choose to export a backup.
Switching from another sleep app?
Whether you used Sleep School before it shut down or you are looking for an alternative to a traditional CBT-I app, RestWise offers a focused ACT-informed path without pretending to reproduce clinician-delivered CBT-I.
