A 30-day course for better sleep inside Telegram — about 10–15 minutes each evening, 15 sleep methods backed by links to research, daily check-ins and a story-driven coach character. An older product whose team now focuses on the Remy app.
Sleepy is a sleep coach that runs as a 30-day course in a Telegram chat. When it launched on Product Hunt in April 2022, the pitch was simple: 15 easy-to-apply methods for better sleep, more than 150 links to research, a storyline with game mechanics, and about 10–15 minutes of attention before bedtime. A case study by the chatbot platform Flow XO, on which Sleepy was built, adds the other half: the bot sends short daily lessons based on sleep hygiene and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and asks check-in questions about sleep quality and energy, so you can see your progress over time.
In this subtopic it is the only structured programme. The other bots give you a sound, a meditation or a bedtime calculation for tonight; Sleepy tries to change habits over a month, which suits people who have slept badly for a while rather than those who just need to drift off once.
Two caveats. First, it is not new: sleepycoach.com — whose 30-day programme and "81% improved sleep" claim match Sleepy's — now promotes the Remy iOS app and does not link to the bot, so updates to the Telegram version are uncertain. Second, the numbers are self-reported: Flow XO speaks of 500,000 launches and 30,000 paid users, but we found no current price. It is a wellness course, not medical treatment; persistent insomnia is worth discussing with a doctor.

We could not confirm the current terms. A Flow XO case study mentions 30,000 paid users alongside 500,000 launches, so part of the course is likely paid; check the price inside the bot before you commit.
No. It is a habit course built on sleep hygiene and CBT-style journaling. If you have slept badly for weeks, see a doctor; the bot can be a supplement, not a replacement.
