I'm sure I'm not the only one whose stress levels affect their sleep. But I've noticed that even when I'm doing "all the right things" healthy sleep can feel challenging to understand and maintain. I'm a minimalist at heart so I was looking for an easy way to learn about my sleep patterns without a multistep system or purchasing a product.
That's how I found SleepSpace, an AI-powered app that can analyze sleep patterns and provide personalized recommendations via a chatbot, called Dr. Snooze, which is a bridge to personalized care with human sleep experts.

SleepSpace was founded by Dan Gartenberg, who is the company's CEO as well as a sleep adviser at CPAP.com. While the company was founded in 2009, its first AI features didn't deploy until 2022.
The app focuses entirely on sleep, which Gartenberg says gives optimal outcomes, and it can integrate with wearables (think Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop) to provide a holistic view of sleep patterns over time.
I was curious to see how it would respond to me without the extras – no wearables, no additional products. Just me, my phone and SleepSpace's app. No additional setup was required, other than deciding where to place my phone so it could track the sleep sound disturbances, quality and any other callouts.
How SleepSpace works
You can trial SleepSpace across a seven-day period, and then choose to commit to a $25/month or $99/year subscription. Here's how to get started:
1. Download SleepSpace for iOS or Android, create an account and connect your wearables or HealthKit/Google Fit – if applicable – so the AI has your sleep data. You don't need a wearable to access SleepSpace, but you do need a mobile device.
