Apollo Neuroscience's 2025 Year in Review
Apollo Neuroscience has recently unveiled its Year in Review for 2025, highlighting incredible advancements in sleep regulation and overall wellness through the consistent support of the nervous system. With an overwhelming success in its mission, the company reported that its dedicated users amassed an astonishing total of
143,862,300 minutes of extra sleep throughout the year, easily exceeding its ambitious target of 100 million minutes.
This monumental achievement is equivalent to more than
273 years of human sleep gained in just 12 months. Complementing this success, Apollo earned prestigious accolades, including the
SHE Media Flow Space Best Sleep Wearable of 2025, confirming the positive impact that its technology has had on real-world outcomes.
Dr. David Rabin, co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience and a distinguished psychiatrist, stated, "When you support the nervous system consistently and respectfully, people don’t just feel better—they function better." He further emphasized that thousands of users have quietly improved their health, highlighting a significant trend toward health enhancement through supportive interventions.
Measurable Impact in Daily Life
The statistics from Apollo's 2025 report reveal the deep influence of their technology in the daily experiences of its users:
- - 143,862,300 minutes of additional sleep acquired.
- - 18,989,179 automated sleep interventions executed to prevent unwanted awakenings.
- - 1,059,874,292 mindful minutes recorded.
On average, users enjoyed more than
50 hours of extra sleep, with engaged individuals in the top 25% experiencing approximately
33 additional minutes per night, adding up to
200 hours over the year. Those in the top 5% enjoyed even greater benefits with around
46 extra minutes each night, which accumulates to
280 hours annually. Dr. Rabin pointed out that this level of restorative sleep can dramatically enhance individuals’ ability to recover and combat stress-related issues.
The Innovation of SmartVibes AI
A key driver of these impressive results was the
SmartVibes AI, an innovative closed-loop system designed to automatically address sleep disruptions. In 2025, SmartVibes facilitated nearly
19 million sleep interventions, enhancing users’ sleep depth and efficiency significantly. Dr. Michael Breus, a renowned sleep specialist, praised the SmartVibes technology, stating, "It’s a breakthrough solution," that helps users stay asleep by responding to their sleep patterns seamlessly.
By utilizing five years' worth of sleep data from various health tracking devices, Apollo successfully optimized sleep continuity among its users, marking a historic milestone in sleep medicine that achieved its goals through non-pharmaceutical means.
Global Reach and Usage Patterns
Apollo's impact can be felt across over
190 countries, reflecting the universal challenges associated with stress, sleep disruptions, and the demands of modern living. The most notable concentration of Apollo users was found in
New York City, indicating a strong market in fast-paced, high-pressure settings. Users primarily engaged with Apollo for the following reasons:
- - Improve sleep: 35%
- - Reduce stress: 26%
Usage analytics revealed that sleep settings were the most popular feature, with
over 5.7 million plays logged, followed closely by focus-related functions with
4.0 million plays. Peak usage was recorded around
9 p.m., indicating a widespread need for support during the transition to a restful state at day’s end.
Recognized Excellence
In addition to the SHE Media award, Apollo secured further recognition, including accolades from the
Robb Report, which previously named Apollo the
Best Wearable of 2024. These awards serve to illustrate Apollo's commitment to working alongside the nervous system rather than resorting to overriding it.
Community Accessibility and Innovation
In an effort to democratize healing, Apollo introduced
Apollo Sessions, a freemium app that employs Apple’s haptic technology to share soothing vibrations effortlessly with anyone who has an iPhone, thus making wellness support available for free. Dr. Rabin expressed the intent behind this initiative: "Healing isn’t a luxury. It’s a human right. If this works, it should be available to everyone."
The feature allowing users to share calming sensations enhances the community-building aspect of wellness technology, fostering a sense of connectivity and support when individuals are physically apart.
Advancing the Science
To bolster its scientific foundation, Apollo published
two new peer-reviewed studies in 2025, one focused on fatigue and Raynaud Phenomena while the other examined burnout among health students. These efforts add to Apollo's 17 completed clinical studies and focus on the efficacy of timed vibrations in facilitating a shift from chronic stress states.
Apollo continues to stand out as a clinically validated technology capable of aiding users in achieving restoration and resilience without requiring substantial effort from them.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As Apollo builds on its 2025 success, users can expect:
- - New Vibes for specialized needs.
- - Advanced personalization in AI features.
- - Collaborations for new wearables and apps.
- - Continued peer-reviewed scientific advancements.
In closing, Dr. Rabin highlighted that the most meaningful takeaway from 2025 lies not in the figures but in the improved lives of users—
more patient parents, present people, and nervous systems that finally receive the nurturing they require. For further insights, readers are encouraged to visit the
