How it works
The Science Behind CleverSleep®
At the heart of CleverSleep® is our proprietary *CleverSleep Sleep Assessment System (SAS™)* — developed from more than twenty years of clinical sleep practice and thousands of real-world sleep consultations.
Unlike traditional sleep questionnaires that provide a single snapshot in time, the SAS™ was designed as a structured assessment framework capable of identifying and monitoring the many factors that influence sleep over time. These include sleep initiation, night-time awakenings, return-to-sleep difficulties, total sleep time, stress, lifestyle influences, environmental factors, hormonal changes and other contributors to sleep disruption.
Built on Internationally Recognised Standards
During its development, the CleverSleep SAS™ was benchmarked against internationally recognised sleep medicine surveys and assessment methodologies, including:
- International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Third Edition (ICSD-3)
- Stanford Sleepiness Scale
- Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
- St. Mary's Hospital Sleep Questionnaire
This benchmarking helped ensure alignment with internationally recognised sleep assessment principles and symptom classifications used by sleep professionals around the world.
The CleverSleep SAS™ was most recently validated through two independent clinical research programmes, where ongoing and repeated assessments were conducted over time to monitor changes in real human sleep-related outcomes. This longitudinal approach allows the CleverSleep system to identify patterns and trends that may not be visible through single-night sleep tracking alone.
Your Personalised Sleep Assessment
When you first join CleverSleep®, your onboarding process will guide you through our in-depth SAS™ assessment. Your answers are treated with respect and confidentiality — we recognise that many people are sharing deeply personal information about their health, sleep, stress, lifestyle and wellbeing.
Once completed, your personalised sleep report is generated and made available within your profile.
The entire CleverSleep platform uses our simple Green, Amber and Red guidance framework, allowing you to quickly identify which areas of your sleep and wellbeing are currently balanced and which may benefit from greater attention. Your report is divided into ten key areas of sleep and health, each assessed individually and assigned a status — helping you understand where your greatest opportunities for improvement lie as you begin your sleep journey.
Works With the Devices You Already Use
CleverSleep® is technology agnostic. We do not have a preferred wearable device and are designed to work alongside many of the world’s leading sleep tracking platforms — whether you use Apple, Oura, WHOOP, Garmin or other compatible technologies.
Wearable devices are exceptionally good at identifying what happened during the night. The CleverSleep SAS™ helps uncover why it may be happening. Together, they provide a more complete understanding of your sleep than either approach can offer alone.
Your Programme, Delivered
As part of your membership, your expert CleverSleep® supplements are delivered directly to your door each month. Your programme is continually reviewed and adjusted as your sleep patterns, assessment results and wearable data evolve over time. As your sleep stabilises, your programme may be refined, simplified or transitioned into a maintenance phase designed to support your ongoing sleep health.
Each morning, you simply synchronise your wearable device and allow a few minutes for your latest data to transfer into the CleverSleep® platform. Once updated, your practitioner-level assessment engine evaluates your sleep using a more comprehensive and rigorous framework than many consumer sleep applications.
If CleverSleep awards you a strong sleep score, it is because your sleep has genuinely met the standards associated with healthy sleep architecture. As sleep practitioners, we believe meaningful feedback should reflect real progress — not simply provide reassurance.
Your dashboard provides an easy-to-understand overview of your night: your overall sleep performance rating, your CleverSleep score, and detailed feedback on the individual sleep phases and components that contribute to healthy sleep architecture.
Precision Sleep Intelligence
Together, the CleverSleep SAS™, wearable technology, practitioner expertise and personalised supplement programmes create a more complete picture of sleep — and form the foundation of CleverSleep’s vision for precision sleep intelligence.
Great sleep rarely changes overnight. Like many of the most valuable things in life, meaningful change comes through consistency. The more committed you are to taking your CleverSleep supplements, maintaining a realistic bedtime and prioritising your sleep, the more opportunity your body has to recalibrate and return to balance.
