Build better sleep habits

A good night’s sleep can be elusive for many of us. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately two-thirds of adults sleep less than 8 hours per night – an issue that can really impact on your health.

When it comes to monitoring the quality of your sleep, Pillow is hugely helpful – it lets you track and understand your habits and their impact on your sleep patterns. You can also connect Pillow to the Health app to find out how your sleep quality compares to metrics like your weight, blood pressure and calories burned.

The more you use Pillow, the better – that’s when the app suggests personalised experiments, recommendations and sleep tips based on your results.

To make the most of the app, Pillow relies on you adding notes about your daily routines – all of which will stay privately on your phone and never be uploaded to the app’s servers. Knowledge is power: the more details you add, the easier it gets to unveil potential correlations to your sleep quality.

For example, if you think coffee interferes with your sleep, try tracking your caffeine intake with Pillow. That way, you can start making better choices about when to drink your last cup before it impacts your good night’s rest.

Or maybe you really enjoy reading before it’s time for lights out. By tracking each night when you read until late, you might start to see when this habit leads to trouble waking up feeling fresh.

Learning healthier habits can improve your sleep. But even if you make a bad choice and end up lying wide awake at 3am, Pillow won’t leave you alone – play the app’s soothing soundscapes to help you fall back to sleep.

With Pillow’s premium subscription you’ll be able to record each night’s sounds, such as snores or random babbling (as well as heart rate monitoring if you own an Apple Watch). Results from these parameters might show indications of sleep-related disorders and will be saved to your device, so you can further investigate with your doctor.

But working on improving your sleep is only half of it. Pillow also helps you wake up refreshed and energised with the Smart Wake Up function. By tracking the stages of your sleep through heart rate and movements, the app can pick the best time for the alarm to go off, right when you’re in your lightest sleep phase.

Along with exercise and a healthy diet, getting enough sleep is one of the pillars of your physical and mental wellbeing – and Pillow is the perfect aid to achieving those all-important sound sleeps.
