Sleep Now is a dedicated sleep experience in the Calm Health app that makes it quick to find sleep support when you need it most. At this time, Sleep Now can only be accessed using the Calm Health mobile app.
When Sleep Now Opens
Automatically: When you open the Calm Health app between 9pm and 5am (based on your device’s clock), Sleep Now opens right after the app loads. A few things to know:
- Sleep Now opens automatically once per night. If you close it and reopen the app later that night, you can bring it back using the steps below.
- It does not open automatically if you opened the app from a link, such as a push notification or email.
- If you just created your Calm Health account or logged in for the first time, Sleep Now will appear the next time you open the app during these hours.
Any time of day: Tap the Sleep Now button on your Home screen.
What You’ll See
From top to bottom, Sleep Now includes:
- Sleep Recents and Sleep Favorites: Two cards for quick access to your recently played and favorited sleep content. These will appear empty if you haven’t played or favorited any sleep content yet.
- Sleepy You: Sleep content curated for you based on your listening history.
- Top Sleep Stories, Top Sleep Meditations, and Top Soundscapes: the most popular content in each category. Tap View All to see more.
- View All Sleep: a link at the bottom that opens the Sleep category.
Light and Dark Mode
Sleep Now uses the same appearance setting as your phone's default setting. Dark mode is recommended for sleep, since lower light can make it easier to wind down.
If you’re viewing Sleep Now in light mode, you’ll see a Learn about dark mode for sleep link under the message at the top. Tap it to learn more, then tap Update Appearance to change your setting.
You can also change it at any time:
- Tap the Profile tab.
- Tap Settings, then Display.
- Tap Appearance.
- Choose Phone Default, Light Mode, or Dark Mode.
Leaving Sleep Now
Tap the X at the top of the screen to return to your Home screen. If audio is playing when Sleep Now opens, it will keep playing.
