Industry: Police Officer

"I was skeptical at first how an app could help with my sleep, but I was willing to try anything. The strategies provided were not something I hadn’t heard of before (body scan, white noise, refocus), but the best part was the access to a focused psychologist. Having my sleep tracked via the app, and some guidance in implementing the tactics, I’m now at a full night sleep 99% of the time.

Getting myself registered through the sleep screener was a very easy process that was intuitive and did not require any special skills. The app is very simple to use and having tools unlocked in stages prevented information overload. Honestly, I didn’t even get through everything before my sleep was back on track (4 out of the 6 weeks).

My clinical therapist was great at hearing me out and fixing my self-diagnosed decisions I thought were helping. In hindsight, I was doing things completely wrong trying by myself to get some rest and now I know why.

If anything has come from this, my wife has commented on the change. Falling asleep has never been a problem, the real problem was always staying asleep. My wife has said many times how it’s nice to wake up with me still there. I used to get up and fall asleep elsewhere so as not to disturb her through the restlessness. Now I close my eyes, and the alarm wakes me up. I couldn’t be happier.

As I’ve previously stated, I knew of (some) strategies through my own research but wasn’t properly applying them. The HALEO program put it all together for me. Even my old practice of watching a movie in order to fall asleep was training me into bad habits. I have two shift rotations to deal with right now. I’m confident when I return to patrol, I’ll be able to apply the strategies learned to a four-shift rotation without too much effort. The fact this program has ongoing support is reassuring."
