LIFE HACK
Sleep better with these 3 apps
We know how it is. You’re exhausted but restless. Maybe you find it hard to drift off. Perhaps the kids keep waking you up. Thanks to some excellent apps, there’s hope for a full night’s rest.
Settle your mind
There’s no point heading to bed with your heart racing as 1,000 tasks run through your head. Take some time to wind down with BetterSleep.
The app allows you to choose the mix of sounds that help you settle down to sleep: it could be birds chirping, a river or waterfall flowing, even thunder – whatever helps you relax. It also has meditations to prepare you for sleep.
Settle the kids
It’s 9pm and the children are still running riot and asking to go to the loo for the fifteenth time. If you can’t get a restful night because your four-year-old has other ideas, then try Moshi Kids.
These soporific bedtime stories are designed to lull your children into a deep sleep with their soothing narratives and rhythmic sounds.
Settle yourself
Sleep Cycle is a great companion that will track your sleeping patterns and give you a detailed analysis of the quality of your sleep.
Even better, you can set the alarm clock within the app and it will find the right moment, when you are in a light phase of sleep, to wake you – ensuring that you always feel refreshed in the morning.
