Still Awake

Wide awake, but wish you weren't? Mind still racing after you've turned off the light? Reaching for your phone, but afraid scrolling will only wake you up more? Still Awake (未瞓) is a low-stimulation bedtime app for exactly these moments. Our one rule: never fight sleep. This app won't tell you to fall asleep right now. There are no leaderboards, no streaks, no push notifications trying to pull you back in. Its only goal is to give you somewhere quiet, brief, and easy to leave, while you wait for sleep to return. Ideally, you'll open it for a few minutes, then naturally say "goodnight" and close it. — When you open the app, it asks: "What's going on tonight?" You can choose: • My mind won't stop • Worried I can't sleep • No sleepiness at all • Not sure, just still awake Still Awake then offers a low-stimulation path suited to how you feel. Set It Down Write out whatever's looping in your head and park it until tomorrow — so you don't have to hold onto it, or worry about forgetting it. Breathing Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8 — a circle grows, holds, and shrinks in sync, helping you slow your breath. Quiet Letters A calm English word appears at random. Free-associate a simple object for each letter — a gentle way to shift your attention without asking much of your mind. Small Facts 100 short, mildly interesting facts, perfect for reading right before sleep — never enough to pull you into a rabbit hole. A Quiet World 100 quiet facts from around the world, each a small reminder: someone else is awake right now too. You're not alone. Slow Games Four unhurried games — connect the stars, pop soft bubbles, draw in the sand, and ripples on water — something gentle for restless fingers. Background Sound Light rain, ocean waves, a soft breeze, a crackling fire, a night train, a nighttime forest, white noise, and brown noise — choose the sound that carries you toward sleep. Goodnight Mode When you start to feel sleepy, choose "Goodnight" or "A little longer." Choosing "Goodnight" fades the screen to black, leaving only the word "Goodnight." at the bottom, with a double-tap to wake the screen if you need it. — Still Awake isn't trying to keep you here. It's here to walk a short stretch of the night with you, then help you put your phone down. Who it's for • Anyone who wakes at 3am and can't fall back asleep • Anyone who's been lying there a long time, still awake • Anyone whose mind won't quiet down before bed • Anyone who's anxious about not sleeping, and getting more anxious by the minute • Anyone with no sleepiness at all, who still doesn't want a stimulating app • Anyone who wants quiet company, not entertainment or productivity If you've already picked up your phone, but don't actually want to scroll yourself more awake — give Still Awake a try.
