Easy enough to use, but after a week I still wasn't sleeping (this process takes several weeks) I just wanted to get to sleep like a normal person, and this was not helping. I ended up getting the nightwave sleep assistant and it worked in 3 days. It's also cheaper. One thing that I wanted to mention is that when I bought this, I read all of the reviews (there were only 4, I think) and they were all glowing reviews. After I got this and felt that it wasn't so great, I checked the reviews again, and the people's other reviews, I realized that they only wrote reviews for lifekey products, so they obviously were not impartial. I learned my lesson and now I always check the person's other reviews! Everyone probably knows that, but this is my first purchase here. Oh well...you win some you lose some.........

I found SleepKey to be surprisingly effective! The whole package--the hand-held computer and the informative documentation--helped me create an environment and discipline myself to get the restful sleep I craved. With this product, I was able to break some old, non-productive patterns and replace them with behavior that gives me a good, sound sleep. (And I can say this months after I completed the SleepKey program.) I highly recommend it.

Note this will only work if you get up at the same time every morning.

When you get the sleepkey computer you sleep normal for seven nights. When you are in bed the device emits a tone or vibration or both, your choice. If you hear or feel the signal then you push a button.
After seven nights it calculates how much you actually slept. Then it adjusts your bedtime so you sleep for the number of hours determined in the first week. I normally went to bed around 9:30 when I started but then I had to stay up until 11:45. The device still monitors your sleep and makes the signal and you push the button when you hear the noise.

The first week I felt great and I had a lot more time to do things at night. The device moves you bed time earlier when you don't push the button by about 15 minutes. By the third week I felt tired all the time and I frequently cheated by taking naps during the day because I felt so exhausted. Gradually my bed time moved earlier to about 10:00 and I felt that I had better quality sleep. When daylight savings time came around I felt pretty messed up for about a week but then I got back on schedule. I sleep better now and I feel that it helped me but the device is more for those with chronic insomnia rather than occasional insomnia.

I have also tried exercise, sleeping pills both prescription and herbs and combinations of herbs. This device worked the best for me.

I suffered from Insomnia since I was about 17. I got into the habit of staying up late and doing work in my bed at college. It soon affected my working skills when I graduated from college and entered the workforce. I was devastated. All I wanted to do was sleep. So, I did a few searches and came across this innovative product called SleepKey. It seemed great over the web, so I decided to try it out. For the first week, I just told it when I went to bed and when I got out of bed. Then during phase two, it emitted a low tone or vibration and wanted me to press a button if I heard it. I followed the instructions and it worked great! It told me to get out of bed if I wasn't sleeping for a long period of time. It made my bedtime later so I would be more tired and....it even made me sleep more soundly. It was amazing. I can't believe I can actually crawl into my bed at my normal bedtime and fall fast sleep. I would definitly recommend this product to anyone with insomnia or sleep problems!

It's very good device. I had problem with sleep for many years and this product helped me get back on restful sleep almost every nigh. I would recommend it to anyone with sleep problem.

I have been using the SleepKey for about 60 days continuously. I have suffered from sleeping problems since I was a teen. The SleepKey has enabled me to improve my sleep efficiency from a starting value of 57% to an average that hovers around 90%. This means that I'm getting about the same amount of sleep (about 5:45 hours per night) but am spending much less time getting it. This has given me many more hours to read, etc., especially during the weekends, because I don't sleep in anymore.
One other benefit is that my wife is sleeping better, probably because I'm not waking up in the middle of the night which was disturbing her sleep.

I strongly recommend this product. It is well made and the program it uses is well thought out.
