Sleep Assist

Sleep Assist (formerly called Digital Sleeping Pill or DSP) is a responsive experience designed to lull you to sleep and also get you back to sleep if you wake up during the night.

With our Smart Fade technology, the Sleep Assist algorithm responds to your brain activity; audio softly fades away as you fall asleep and gently rises if you wake up to lull you back to sleep.

Customizing Sleep Assist

When you enable Sleep Assist, and select your content, you can access special controls to customize the audio and smart fade technology.

• Go-back-to-sleep - enables the all-night function. The content will resume if you wake in the night.

• Fade-Out Speed - adjusts how long it takes for the Sleep Assist to reduce the volume to silence when you begin to fall asleep.

• Fade-In Speed - adjusts how long it takes for the Sleep Assist to increase the volume to full as you wake.

• Simulate Sleep - lets you test the fade-in and fade-out speeds before returning to your session. 

  • Turn ON to experience the audio fading out at the speed you have set.

  • Turn OFF to experience the audio fading in at the speed you have set.

  • Remember to turn off Simulate Sleep before leaving the settings for your session to work properly.
     

💡Important: your settings will be saved for the specific audio content you’ve selected. If you choose different Sleep Assist content, remember to customize your settings for the new content.
