Say Goodbye to Complex Sleep Trackers: A Minimalist Choice for Insomnia

Keywords: Minimalism, Orthosomnia, Sleep Anxiety, Digital Detox, Opening Line

In this age of quantified self, we even set KPIs for sleep.

  • Deep sleep percentage?
  • What's my HRV?
  • Is sleep latency optimal?

This leads to a new disorder: Orthosomnia (an unhealthy obsession with achieving "perfect sleep"). We worry about bad data, and that stress keeps us awake.

Less is More

True sleep aids should be about Subtraction.

  • No wearables needed.
  • No glowing screens with charts.
  • No complex settings.

Opening Line embodies extreme minimalism. Open App -> Read today's prompt -> Lock phone -> Close eyes.

The whole process takes less than 10 seconds. No continuous blue light, no pressure from data evaluation.

The Only "Data"

While minimalist, the App keeps one unobtrusive metric: Sleep Onset Time. Using Apple HealthKit, it calculates the gap between seeing the prompt and falling asleep. This is only there so you can wake up and say: "Wow, I fell asleep in 5 mins last night!" That positive feedback is the best cure for sleep anxiety.
