Mobile games to fall asleep Reddit

Long story short I’m a terrible insomniac. Looking for calming games that require little attention to help me sleep. Something sea or space theme preferred. I have tap tap fish, but after a few weeks it gets a little hectic. Trying fish farm 3 now. Also have tried that Koi game (can’t remember the name). Obviously idle games are preferred, or just what I assume would be best. Also tried lost and alone, a MYSTesque kind of game. But just looking for others for those nights I just can’t sleep and need something to do that will calm me down

Also thanks for all the posts saying I should just read. Clearly people who have no idea what insomnia is actually like. Tried it. Doesn’t work, spend to much time focusing on what I’m reading, I’ve literally read the entire GoT and hunger games in a month, doesn’t work. So thank you for not understanding, appreciate people who don’t know what real insomnia is putting in their 2 cents, now if anyone who ACTUALLY wants to help can’t spare some of advice I’d be truly appreciative

Bright screen in your face is the opposite to sleep and melatonin inducing 🤦‍♂️. But guess what, my whole life I’ve watched tv to put myself to sleep, I can’t be alone with my thoughts in a dark space!

Always frustrates me that doctors tell me “switch off devices at 10pm” blah blah blah, I’m like bitch, my own thoughts will keep me up for another 6 hours after that!

For me, games can stimulate me too much, I put episodes of something like family guy on shuffle, I even just listen to it with my eyes closed sometimes, or podcasts are good, something not too stimulating but overpowered my monkey brain noise!

Can anyone suggest any iPhone games that make them sleepy? I know this might mean different things for different people. I definitely want an actual game, not just a white noise machine or guided meditation app. In fact, I'd like something that doesn't rely on sound at all so as not to wake the husband, and because I don't find earbuds comfortable lying down.

I like Sextuple Word Challenge (sort of like TextTwist clone) a lot for this usually. I play with the brightness on the lowest setting and my glasses off so it tires out both my brain and my eyes and I've sometimes drifted off while holding my phone.

However, my sleep schedule is really screwy right now and SWC isn't doing the trick. Sometimes it also brings out my competitive nature and I fight sleepiness to keep playing which just defeats the purpose.

Thanks for any help you can throw my way!

I would like to say Summoner's War, because you just auto the dungeon raids and go to sleep from staring at the screen with minimal interaction for you (but kinda defeats the purpose of the game doesn't it? Quit because of that.)

But I think Neko Atsume might be better? A game about setting out toys in your yard, and placing cat food to attract cats to your yard. It's in Japanese, but there's English guide to help you along, and r/nekoatsume is more than helpful in that aspect.

Pretty niche category, but I’m looking for games that a relaxing and slow paced. Not something that requires too much timing or reflex (trying to go to sleep here).

Fallout Shelter and Ironfish are my top two games that really embody what I’m looking for. However, Fire Emblem Heroes, Game Dev Tycoon, Cardinal Quest 2, and Minecraft have all filled this need for me.

I’m looking for something that can be played for 5-30 mins (maybe longer if I can’t sleep).

I like a good sense of progression and basebuilding. The cherry on top - weird as it may be - is a game where I can put my ingame character to bed. I don’t know why, but I find it very gratifying when I put my character to bed, turn my phone of, close my eyes and go to sleep.

Any suggestions that would be great. I’m also interested in what kind of games play before bed, if they don’t go along with my specifications. Or just a general discussion of pre-sleep gaming.

Edit: Thank you all for your concern about screen usage before bed. I use blue light elimination on my devices and do not find that playing games keeps me from falling asleep.

Hi everyone i'm on the search, what are your best games to relax to when in bed?

I want something like Dear My Cat, something incremental but not deadly boring like other idle games. Any good suggestions? You can also suggest games totally different from what i explained, drop everything!!

Thanks already

AFK Arena is also great.
