Hey HN,

We built Sleepedy to democratize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) treatment for everyone suffering from Chronic Insomnia. CBT-I has been proven in clinical trials to be the best treatment for anxiety based chronic insomnia. Yet, prescription sleep aids far outnumbers CBT-I treatments. Our hope is by democratizing such an effective treatment, we can reduce sleeping pill dependence across our society.

One of our founders struggled with chronic insomnia and a Xanax dependency till he found a CBT-I therapist and reversed his chronic insomnia - https://www.sleepedy.com/articles/insomniac-journey


Yup! I'd say watching boring TV is pretty similar to what I did with reading a really boring book, it makes you think less about sleep and put less effort into it.


Yeah its kind of strange the amount of backlash that he is getting. Is it wrong to criticize the launch? If you read his earlier medium post he even praises the Model X as a product itself.


well in honestly he does sound entitled just because he has money. The original complaints were that he elon was late and he should have served lunch at the event. Its like going to a Mcdonalds and not wearing a shirt or shoes. If they don't want to serve you they don't have to. If tesla, feels like this guy is being a prick, they don't have to sell him a car.


Yeah, it also seems like a rather petty move by someone like Elon.


I'm intrigued to know the story here, for sure. I've seen people like Chris Roberts refund a Star Citizen heckler's order, but arguably that person was demanding over and over that SC allow backers refunds along with threatening legal action, so granting him one seemed less questionable.


Are you advertising in the app? if so do you have any revenue numbers for it?


InApp purchases and currently about 120$ per month.


do you have any advice for me?


Doesn't load on Chrome for some reason (could be on my end)


Initially I was control R spamming, now I'm just pondering what a complete apocalypse will look like.
