Sleep as Droid VS. SleepBot – Improve your sleeping with these quality sleep trackers

If you are one of those people that want to improve and follow their sleeping, than this sleep trackers are interesting solution if you have an Android device. Sleep as Droid and SleepBot are probably the best sleep related apps on Google Play.

Sleep as Droid


Sleep as Droid will basically follow all of the activity in your sleep. This app uses inertial sensor in your device in order to sense when you have light sleep or when you are in a deep sleep. Thus, the app tends to not wake you while you are in a deep sleep. For example if you set the alarm from 8am to 8:30am, it will wake you in the most optimal moment, not while you are in your deep sleep, but when you start rustling around and moving. This will actually make you feel less groggy and fresher when you wake up.

Sleep as Droid will record any snoring, talking or noise that you make while you sleep, as well. For every sleep there is a graph which shows how your sleeping went. You can hear every bigger noise you’ve made, if you are interested in what you are talking and how much are you snoring. There is also interesting selection of alarms to wake you up and reminders for going to sleep.

But, there are few things that I didn’t like about this app. The UI is not good, everything is little messy and simply this is not well organized and user friendly app. Also, Sleep as Droid is not free, after 14 days you will have to buy it.

Sleep Bot


Compared to Sleep as Droid, Sleep Bot has too many less reviews and downloads. However, that doesn’t mean that it is not better or more quality. Sleep Bot has the same features as Sleep as Droid. It will record sounds, track movements, offer you different alarms, and remind you when to go to sleep. Like Sleep as Droid it has graphs that will show you when you’ve made noises.

The UI is amazing, I fell in love with the colors, smoothness and the whole organization of the features. I also liked how the app informs you which foods are good to eat to make you sleep and which foods or drinks are good to keep you awake.

Verdict: SleepBot

To be real, these 2 apps are quality and they will do their work, no matter which one you select. However, the better UI, design and the fact that is free are the reasons why I will keep SleepBot on my Android devices.
