Stop fighting sleep. Start yawning your way to rest.
YawnTime uses the neuroscience of contagious yawning to trigger your body's natural sleep response. Watch a short, calming video of someone yawning, and your mirror neurons fire — quietly forcing your body to relax, lower its heart rate, and prepare for sleep.
It's not a sleep tracker. It's not white noise. It's the involuntary sleep switch you already have, made easier to flip.

WHY IT WORKS
When you see someone yawn, your brain's mirror-neuron system triggers an empathetic physiological response. Within seconds, you yawn too — drawing in cool air, slightly lowering your brain temperature, and signalling to your body that it's time to wind down.
YawnTime simply gives you the trigger, on demand, whenever your mind won't switch off.

WHAT'S INSIDE
▸ A library of high-fidelity yawn videos — looping, gentle, and recorded specifically to provoke the contagious response. Start with 3 free videos; unlock 24+ with Premium.
▸ Ambient sleep soundscapes — rain, ocean, forest, fan, and more. 2 free, 8 in total with Premium. Mix any combination with independent volume sliders.
▸ A built-in sleep timer that gently fades audio to silence so you don't wake up to looping sound at 3am.
▸ A private sleep diary that lives entirely on your device. Log your bedtime, rate your night, watch the patterns emerge over time. No login, no cloud, no scary "your sleep score is bad" notifications.
▸ Optional bedtime reminders so you don't lose track of your wind-down ritual.
