How to cancel Sleep Cycle in singapore and protect your consumer rights
What Sleep Cycle is and why you might cancel
Sleep Cycle is a mobile application that monitors your sleep patterns by analysing movement data through your phone's built-in sensors. The app tracks when you fall asleep, measures sleep quality, and identifies disturbances such as snoring or restlessness throughout each night. The free version provides basic sleep tracking, whilst the Premium subscription unlocks deeper analytics, personalised insights, and advanced sleep coaching features designed to help you understand your sleep behaviour over time.
Many users find value in Sleep Cycle initially, then decide to cancel for legitimate reasons. You might discover the app drains your phone's battery significantly, prefer an alternative sleep tracker, or simply wish to reduce your monthly subscription costs. Whatever your reason, Yafee has created this guide to walk you through the cancellation process step by step, ensuring you understand your consumer protections under Singapore law and avoid common pitfalls that trap users into unwanted renewals.
When cancellation is the right decision
You should consider cancelling if you have not opened the app in over a week, rarely review your sleep reports, or feel the Premium features no longer justify the recurring cost. Cancellation also makes sense if you were charged unexpectedly after a free trial ended, or if you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play and discovered you were enrolled without clear consent. Before you proceed, Yafee recommends reviewing your most recent invoice to confirm whether a charge is imminent.
The cost of maintaining your Sleep Cycle subscription
Sleep Cycle Premium costs between S$4.48 and S$49.98 per billing cycle, depending on your chosen plan length. Over a full year, this ranges from approximately S$54 to S$600, which accumulates rapidly when combined with other app subscriptions. If you are paying for Sleep Cycle but not actively using it, cancelling immediately frees up money for services you genuinely value.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Your legal protections as a consumer in Singapore are established under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which applies to all app subscriptions purchased within Singapore.
How the consumer protection (Fair trading) act protects you
This legislation requires businesses to provide accurate information about services before you purchase them, honour any promises regarding refunds or cooling-off periods, and handle complaints fairly and promptly. If Sleep Cycle fails to clearly disclose that your free trial will convert to a paid subscription, or if they obscure renewal terms in small print, you have legal grounds to dispute the charge through the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
Furthermore, digital services sold directly to Singaporean consumers must include transparent, accessible cancellation mechanisms. If Sleep Cycle deliberately makes cancellation difficult, that may constitute a breach of fair trading practices. Yafee advises you to document all communication with Sleep Cycle, retain copies of your receipts, and keep confirmation emails as evidence should you need to lodge a formal complaint.
Your legal position
You have an absolute right to cancel your subscription at any time. The subscription must end at the completion of your current billing period unless Sleep Cycle has breached its terms. If Sleep Cycle charged you without clear consent, or if you cancelled but were charged again, you are entitled to request a full refund of unauthorized charges.
When to escalate your complaint
If Sleep Cycle refuses to process your cancellation, denies a legitimate refund request, or continues charging you after you have cancelled, contact the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) at 6100 0315 or visit case.org.sg. CASE handles disputes at no cost to you and can compel Sleep Cycle to investigate your claim within a defined timeframe. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Sleep Cycle must respond to CASE within 14 days.

If you are on an annual plan and cancel mid-year, Sleep Cycle will not refund the unused portion unless you have grounds for a formal dispute. Yafee recommends cancelling immediately after your billing date rather than before, so you extract maximum value from your payment before the service ends.
Sleep Cycle subscriptions are managed by the platform through which you purchased them, not directly by Sleep Cycle itself. Your cancellation method depends on whether you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play, a web browser, or Huawei AppGallery. Each platform maintains its own cancellation interface, so follow the steps that match your device and subscription method.
Cancelling Sleep Cycle on apple app store (iOS)
Apple manages all subscription billing and cancellation for iOS users. You control your subscription through your Apple Account settings, not through Sleep Cycle directly.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
- Locate Sleep Cycle in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Sleep Cycle and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Confirm" when prompted.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes. Your subscription will end at the completion of your current billing period.
Apple provides a grace period: if you cancel within 60 minutes of purchasing, you can request a full refund directly from Apple. After this window, refunds are at Apple's discretion based on their cancellation policy. Consequently, if you cancelled by mistake, contact Apple Support at support.apple.com within that 60-minute window for the best chance of a refund.
Cancelling Sleep Cycle on google play (Android)
Google Play manages subscriptions for Android users. You cancel through your Google Account, not through Sleep Cycle itself.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Tap "Subscriptions".
- Select Sleep Cycle from your list of subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Follow the prompts and select "Cancel subscription" again to confirm.
Google Play will send you a confirmation email. Your subscription will end at the completion of your current billing period. If you cancelled within 48 hours of your initial purchase, you can request a full refund through Google Play's automatic refund system.
Cancelling Sleep Cycle via web browser or direct payment
If you subscribed directly through Sleep Cycle's website using a credit card or other payment method, you must cancel through your Sleep Cycle account settings.
- Visit the Sleep Cycle website and log into your account.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Subscription Settings".
- Locate your active subscription and select "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel".
- Follow the on-screen prompts, which may ask why you are cancelling (optional feedback).
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription".
- Sleep Cycle will email you a cancellation confirmation immediately.
Direct cancellations typically take effect immediately, with your access ending at the completion of your current billing cycle. If Sleep Cycle does not send a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact their support team through their website to verify that your cancellation was processed.
Cancelling Sleep Cycle on huawei AppGallery
Huawei AppGallery users follow a similar process to Google Play, as Huawei manages subscription billing.
- Open the Huawei AppGallery app on your Huawei device.
- Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Tap Sleep Cycle in your active subscriptions list.
- Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Huawei will email you a cancellation confirmation.
Your subscription will end at the completion of your current billing period. Huawei's refund policy mirrors Google Play: if you cancelled within 48 hours of purchase, you can request a refund.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding refund eligibility protects you from accepting less than you are entitled to under Singapore consumer law.
When you are entitled to a refund
You qualify for a full refund if you cancelled within the first 48 hours of purchasing through Google Play or Apple App Store, or if Sleep Cycle charged you without clear consent or after a failed cancellation attempt. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you also have grounds for a refund if Sleep Cycle failed to disclose key terms-such as automatic renewal-before you paid.
If you cancelled outside the 48-hour window but Sleep Cycle continued charging you after cancellation, you are entitled to a refund of all unauthorized charges plus interest. Yafee recommends submitting a formal dispute through CASE if Sleep Cycle refuses this refund.
How to request a refund
Contact Sleep Cycle's support team through their website with the following information: your account email, the date you cancelled, your billing platform (Apple/Google/web), and the reason you believe you deserve a refund. Keep copies of all communications and your cancellation confirmation email. If Sleep Cycle does not respond within 10 working days, escalate to CASE.
What happens to your data after cancellation
Your sleep data typically remains on Sleep Cycle's servers after cancellation, but you lose access to view or download it. If you wish to preserve your sleep history, export your data before you cancel. Some users request data deletion via CASE if Sleep Cycle refuses to provide export options, which is your right under Singapore's data protection framework.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but many users make avoidable errors that result in unexpected charges. Yafee wants you to cancel cleanly and completely, so avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling Sleep Cycle does not cancel your subscription. Your payment method will continue to be charged every billing cycle unless you explicitly cancel through your platform settings. After you delete the app, your subscription remains active and invisible to you-until your next credit card statement arrives.
Mistake 2: cancelling without checking your billing date
If you cancel just before your next billing date, you may be charged one final time. Always check when your next renewal is due before you cancel. If you are charged after cancellation, contact your payment platform immediately to dispute the charge and request a refund.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Your cancellation confirmation email is your proof that you took action. Without it, you cannot prove you cancelled if Sleep Cycle charges you again. Screenshot and save your confirmation in multiple locations-email, cloud storage, and a notes app-for reference.
Mistake 4: assuming your old card is declined
If your payment method expires or is declined, do not assume your subscription will automatically end. Sleep Cycle may try alternative payment methods or contact you to update your details. Manually confirm cancellation rather than waiting for payment failure to stop charges.
After cancellation: what happens next
Your cancellation process continues beyond the moment you click "Confirm"-plan ahead for the days and weeks that follow.
Immediate steps (day 1)
After you cancel, you receive a confirmation email from your billing platform (Apple, Google, or Sleep Cycle directly). Screenshot this email and save it securely. Verify that the confirmation states your subscription has been cancelled and specifies your final billing date.
Monitoring your account (days 2-7)
Log into Sleep Cycle and confirm your account no longer shows an active Premium subscription. You should see "Free" or "Cancelled" status in your account settings. If your status has not updated within 24 hours, contact Sleep Cycle support to request manual cancellation confirmation.
Checking your billing statement (days 7-30)
Review your credit card statement or payment app to verify no additional charges appear after your cancellation date. If a charge does appear, contact your payment platform immediately to dispute it. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. In accordance with chargeback regulations in Singapore, your bank will investigate within 10 working days.
Final verification (day 31 onwards)
After your final billing cycle ends, verify that Sleep Cycle has stopped sending you renewal notices or charge attempts. If you receive a new charge 30 or more days after cancellation, escalate immediately to CASE with copies of your cancellation confirmation and billing statements.
Checklist for a successful cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure every step of your cancellation is complete and defensible.
- Before cancelling: Check your next billing date. Review your most recent invoice. Ensure you are using the correct platform (Apple, Google, web, or Huawei).
- During cancellation: Follow the steps for your platform precisely. Confirm the cancellation on-screen. Do not assume a back button or app close means cancellation is complete-explicitly select "Cancel" and "Confirm".
- After cancelling: Save your confirmation email to three locations (email folder, screenshot, cloud storage). Verify your account shows "Cancelled" status within 24 hours. Monitor your next statement for unexpected charges.
- If charged after cancellation: Gather your cancellation confirmation email, account screenshots, and billing statements. Contact CASE at 6100 0315 and provide all evidence. Request a refund of all unauthorized charges.
