Is Hvil® a medical treatment?

Hvil® is based on cognitive activities that aim to improve sleep habits, sleep efficiency and sleep in general.

Hvil® is based on non-medical aids and consists of a combination of advice, guidance and activities aimed at providing the user with more and better sleep.

The effect of these advice and guidance therefore does not have side effects that medical treatment can cause.

Are there any side effects of using Hvil®?

Hvil® consists of tools and activities that will help you get better sleep. One of the component in a sleep program is called sleep restriction.

Sleep restriction assigns you a sleep window which typically means that you must limit your sleep for a period of time. Side effects that you may experience with sleep restriction include:

  • A temporary increase in sleepiness and fatigue
  • Decreased alertness and reaction time
  • Reduced motivation/energy
  • Headaches
  • Side effects typically subside as sleep improves.
  • Side effects typically reduce as your sleep improves.

We do not recommend sleep restriction for you where the side effects may be a safety concern (e.g. fatigue/reduced alertness in long-term drivers, brain surgeons, etc.).

Similar side effects such as temporary increase in sleepiness, fatigue and decreased alertness may also occur with stimulus control.

NOTE! When we put together a sleep programme for you, we will ask you a series of questions that will help us to assess, whether sleep restriction fits in with your lifestyle.

For who is Hvil®?

Hvil® is for anyone experiencing poor sleep and is designed to help you track your sleep history and assess your sleep quality.

What is the time commitment?

A sleep program consists of daily activities, that help you get better sleep habits.

It takes time and effort to change habits and it's different from person to person, how long it takes.

The length of your sleep program is depended on how your sleep develops, which is a mixture of establishing new habits, thoughts and behavior around your sleep.

How do I activate notifications?

The first time you use Hvil®, you will be helped to allow notifications/reminders on your smartphone.

If you want to check whether notifications/reminders are still correctly activated, open the Hvil® app on your smartphone and go to settings (click on the gear wheel at the top right) and select "Reminders" in the menu. Here you can check and update your settings.

Notifications/reminders are turned on in the app, but I still not getting any

For iPhone users

Many users use the "Do Not Disturb" function at bedtime to avoid the risk of waking up if a text message or notification ticks in during the night. This also means that you generally do not receive notifications/reminders from Hvil®.

To allow Hvil® to provide notifications/reminders even if your smartphone is set to "Do Not Disturb", do the following:

  1. Go to Settings" > "Do Not Disturb" (Can also be called "Focus").
  2. Go to "Allowed Notifications"
  3. Here you add Hvil®

For Android users

  1. Go to "Settings" > "Notifications".
  2. Find and click Hvil and check if notifications are turned on.
