As our lives become busier and more hectic, it can sometimes be difficult to unwind at the end of the day. Not to mention, with so many electronic devices now being part of our daily lives, with all our emails and social activities accessible from more places, including our beds, it can become more difficult to switch off enough to fall asleep. If this sounds familiar, then there are a number of apps which are designed to better position you to be able to fall asleep. Below are ten of those apps that you might want to consider trying.
What better way to start an android list of sleep apps, then with one entitled ‘Sleep as Android’. This app is a feature-heavy app which looks to offer multiple ways and methods to help you receive a better night’s rest. The app has the ability to monitor your sleeping patterns and tries not to wake you up when you are in the deeper cycles of sleep. Not to mention, it will wake you up to natural sounds and alarms. There really is a ton of other features too.
Compared to the last option, this app looks to provide users with a much natural way to fall asleep and therefore, maximize the amount of sleep you can get before you have to wake up again. To do this, the app allows the users to compile a relaxing mix of sounds and tunes to ensure you drift off to sleep peacefully.
Similar to the last offering, Calm – Meditate, Sleep, Relax is designed to make sure you are in the best possible mindset to fall asleep. As such, this app is not only for those who need to a better night’s sleep but also for those who could do with finding more calm moments, more often.
Most android users will already be well-versed when it comes to Runtastic. They are one of the leaders in health apps for android and therefore, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that they have an app to help you sleep too. Like most Runtastic apps, this one will offer the opportunity to track your sleep patterns, cycles and general sleep behaviour with a view to helping you find ways to maximize your sleep.
For those who often use their smartphone or tablet late into the night, this might be the solution as Twilight takes a different approach to helping you sleep. This app works off the principle that certain shades of light will stimulate the brain and therefore, keep you awake longer. As such, this one adapts to the time of day and changes the coloring of your screen, ensuring that while you use your phone into the midnight hours, the colors won’t keep you awake longer than you need to be.
