Sometimes, it can just feel impossible to get a decent night’s sleep! No matter how hard we try, we end up tossing and turning all through the night and end up waking up the next day feeling groggy and tired. If you are struggling to catch a decent amount of Z’s, why not try out some sleep-aid apps – many people swear by them! Here, we’ve listed our favourite sleep apps for you to try out so that you can get that great night’s sleep you’ve been waiting for!
Sleep Cycle
This app is an alarm clock which cleverly tracks your sleeping patterns and accordingly wakes you up whilst you’re in light sleep. This way, you wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested, rather than grumpy and exhausted, which is what can often happen when our alarms wake us up in our deep sleep. The sleep phase we wake up in is extremely important with regards to how rested we feel when waking up, and this app helps wake you up at the right time to optimise your energy!
Sleep Sounds
Sleep Sounds is a soothing app which helps anyone who has trouble falling asleep. By playing soothing sounds whilst you sleep, such as rain sounds, beach sounds, and so on, this app helps you sleep like a baby! So if you are craving that night of uninterrupted and peaceful sleep, why not give Sleep Sounds a go!
Sleep Well Hypnosis
For those of us who really suffer from insomnia, sometimes sleep sounds or white noise still don’t manage to get us to sleep. Rather than getting frustrated by those restless nights, why not give sleep hypnosis a go? The Sleep Well Hypnosis app boasts audio sessions from a certified hypnotherapist, which are designed to help your mind and body relax.
Calm – Meditate, Sleep, Relax
If you think there are underlying issues which are making it difficult to fall asleep, Calm could be the app for you. This app helps to tackle anxiety and stress, which can both make it very difficult to switch off and fall asleep. By teaching you the basics of meditation, as well as featuring adult bedtime stories for relaxation, breathing exercises and soothing sounds, this app is sure to help you drift off into a peaceful slumber. With almost 100, 000 downloads on Google Play, we can see just how popular this sleeping aid has become!
Rain Sounds – Sleep and Relax
There is something about the sound of rain which can really relax the mind and make it so much easier to fall asleep after a long day! That’s why ‘Rain Sounds – Sleep and Relax’ solely focuses on rain sounds to help you sleep. This app provides you with a range of rain sounds which you can choose from – perhaps you enjoy the peaceful pitter patter of raindrops against your window? Or maybe you find heavy, stormy rain more soothing? Well, whichever you prefer, this app has it! You can also choose to customise the sounds and add piano tracks in the background for optimum relaxation.
Sleep Time
Similar to Sleep cycle, this app detects your movements during the night and from this, determines the best time to wake you up so that you wake up feeling refreshed, rather than groggy. With a wide array of alarms to choose from, your morning will become so much easier and much more pleasant with this app. It also provides you with graphs on your sleeping patterns, you know, just for fun!
