Paid $9.99 for a sleep story app, my nightly doomscroll clock says otherwise

I pulled the trigger on that calm voice app after my fourth 2 AM wiki hole in Portland, and while the 40 minute forest rain track does knock me out, I still wake up to my phone in my hand at 3:30, so is it really worth it or did I just pay for a fancier way to ignore my own bedtime?

The app is doing its job though, getting you to sleep. Your phone being in your hand at 3:30 is a separate problem entirely, you trained yourself to reach for it the second your eyes open. Nobody's app can undo years of that habit overnight. Maybe you need to leave the phone across the room and keep the story playing on a speaker or something. That's the real fix here, not getting a refund.
