Accessing Sleepstation
Sleepstation is accessible on most screen sizes and devices with access to a browser and a stable internet connection. Different browsers have different capabilities. And although these differences may seem minor, it’s common for websites to work fine on one browser but poorly on another. It’s important to keep your browser up to date for your security reasons as well as to ensure that you experience the best a website has to offer.
At Sleepstation, we don’t provide support for old browsers and we encourage people to keep their browsers up to date. You can check if your browser is up to date by visiting whatsmybrowser.org.

Text size
The browsers we recommend (as well as others) allow you to change the size of the text by using their zoom features.
To change the zoom, press the following two keys at the same time:
- In Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS:
- To zoom bigger: “Ctrl” and “+” keys
- To zoom smaller: “Ctrl” and “-” keys
- Mac OS:
- To zoom bigger: “⌘” and “+” keys
- To zoom smaller: “⌘” and “-” keys
Each browser has specific instructions on how to use the zoom functionality and can be found here:
