About this app

Fall asleep faster — tonight. Drift is the science-based
wind-down routine your brain actually needs to close the day,
quiet your mind, and transition into deep sleep.

Most people go to bed still wired: checking phones, replaying the day, unable to switch off. Drift guides you through a structured nightly routine designed by sleep science to bridge the gap between your day and deep sleep.

── HOW IT WORKS ──

Drift guides you through 4 evidence-based modules:

① Brain Dump (2 min)
Write down your thoughts, tasks, and worries before bed. Research published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology shows that writing a to-do list before sleep reduces sleep onset by up to 9 minutes by offloading cognitive load from your working memory.

② 4-7-8 Breathing (3 min)
Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. This breathing pattern activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing heart rate, lowering cortisol levels, and signaling to your body that it is safe to rest. Used by the US military to fall asleep in under 2 minutes.

③ Body Scan (3 min)
A guided progressive muscle relaxation from your feet to the top of your head. Clinically proven in multiple studies to reduce physical tension, lower blood pressure, and prepare the body for deep, restorative sleep.

④ Fade Out (2 min)
Your screen gradually dims, warm light takes over, and your thoughts dissolve into stillness. No alarm. No interruption. Just the quiet transition into sleep.

── WHY DRIFT IS DIFFERENT ──

Most sleep apps are too complex. They want you to track, log, compete, and engage. That is the opposite of what your brain needs at night.

Drift does one thing: it helps you close the day.

- No login required
- No account needed
- No ads — ever
- No subscription required to start
- All your data stays on your device, always

── AMBIENT SOUNDS ──

Choose from four carefully selected ambient sounds to accompany your session:

- Brown noise — deep, warm, and deeply relaxing
- Rain — gentle rainfall for a calm mind
- Forest — natural sounds from a quiet forest at night
- Coffee shop — soft background murmur for focus and wind down

── DRIFT PRO ──

The core experience is completely free. Unlock the full 4-module routine with Drift Pro — a single one-time purchase with no recurring charges, no hidden fees, and no subscriptions. Ever.

── WHO IS DRIFT FOR ──

Drift is for anyone who struggles to fall asleep at night, feels mentally wired at bedtime even when physically tired, wakes up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts, wants a consistent nightly ritual backed by real science, or simply needs help switching off after a long and demanding day.

Whether you have occasional insomnia, chronic sleep anxiety, or just want to sleep deeper and wake up more rested — Drift gives you a structured, calm, and beautiful path to rest.

── WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ──

Sleep is not a luxury. It is the foundation of mental health, physical recovery, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance. Yet 1 in 3 adults does not get enough sleep. The solution is not a pill or a tracking device. It is a consistent pre-sleep routine that signals to your brain: the day is over. It is safe to rest now.

That is exactly what Drift is designed to do.

Open it tonight.
Wind down.
Sleep better.
