“As a long-time iPhone user I was enthusiastic to be the medical advisor for the team to develop this application. Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder and our aim was to create a tool that enables anyone easily detect the need for a further sleep study. Sleep Aid does not substitute a diagnosis made by your doctor but may give an alarm that one should see a doctor to find out how to sleep better. Remember that snoring may compromise the quality of your sleep. Consult your ENT-specialist to get treatment for your snoring.”

“Sleep Aid is a smart application for anyone who suspects s/he may suffer from a sleep disorder. Especially sleep apnea is a severe and insidious disease that – if not treated – may cause a number of other conditions and can in the worst case lead to death. If you find signs of sleep apnea in your recording, always consult your doctor.”

SLEEP APNEA
Sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent episodes of airway obstructions and corresponding cessations of airflow and breathing. A cessation in breathing is called an apnea.
The most common reason for an apnea is a physical block to airflow when the tissues in the throat prevent normal breathing. This is especially common among overweight people but individuals with normal weight may suffer from it as well.
Sleep Aid makes it easy for you to determine whether you suffer from sleep apnea and should consult a doctor. The application records eventual snoring sounds and creates an easy-to-read graph. By examining the graph, you can find out your snoring. You can also listen to your breathing and snoring pattern.
SLEEP AID
Sleep Aid includes samples of typical snoring and sleep apnea events. You can compare your own recording with the provided samples to determine whether there are symptoms or signs of sleep apnea. Remember, however, that only a doctor can make the diagnosis. Always consult a physician when you think you may suffer from a medical condition.

• Recording your snoring sounds

Latest reviews of Sleep Aid app for iPhone and iPad
does what it says it does. I bought this other app called sleepanalyze and all it does is crash. So I decided to try Sleep Aid out. It works perfectly! the only thing I would suggest is maybe a function where users can amp up the volume a little bit.
There is no real functionality to this app other than to record audio as you sleep. The only difference between this and the basic voice memo you already have, is a graph showing noise peaks. Save $3.
Its just a recorder and a volume graph
Very lame application. No better than the voice recorder app that comes with the phone.
Useless app! What a scam. Trust me on this. It records but you can not effectively review the recording. Recordings open up somewhere randomly in the recording and only allows you to passively listen. No forwarding, reverse or ability to choose what point you want to listen. No controls other than start and pause. .
