Top Apps for a Better Night's Sleep
How to fall asleep and stay asleep.
To write that these are
stressful times would be an understatement. The COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the
US has resulted in mass job loss and destabilized industries across the
country. In fact, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently released a statement concerning how the Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in increased
stress for many people.
One of the most effective ways to reduce your stress levels is by getting the proper amount of
sleep each night and ensuring you experience cycles of rapid eye movement
(REM). To that end, there are various apps you can use to help yourself fall
asleep, and we've compiled a list of the best options for you.
The best apps for sleep
As far as we're
concerned, you can't go wrong with any of the following apps:
Relax Melodies. Relax Melodies is an app that allows you to combine various
relaxing sounds (from nature, for example) into the perfect sleep music for
you. The customization the app offers and the fact that it's free make it too
good to pass up.
Sleep Cycle. Sleep Cycle allows you to track and analyze your sleep patterns
(oh, and it's also free). Establishing a consistent pattern is vital if you
want to get stress-reducing sleep, so tracking when and how you fall asleep
enables you to adjust your habits as necessary.
WHOOP. If you want to splurge a bit more on a tool that can provide you
with even more info on your sleeping cycle, you may be interested in WHOOP.
WHOOP is wearable tech (akin to a FitBit, but a little fancier) that lets you track your
physiology while you sleep, exercise and recover. The information WHOOP gives
you can then be used to craft the perfect sleeping pattern, exercise routine
and more. Most of these sleep cycle apps (Pillow by Apple is another great one)
also create a smart alarm that analyzes your sleeping pattern and finds the
best time to wake you up, so you never get out of bed groggy. Now that's
cool.
Relax & Sleep Well. Created by clinical hypnotherapist Glenn Harrold, Relax &
Sleep Well contains a catalog of hypnotherapy and meditation readings designed
to help you fall to sleep. The frequency of the meditations is specifically
tuned to help you fall to sleep faster.
Calm. By now, you've probably seen an advertisement for the meditation
app Calm somewhere on the internet - and for a good reason. Full of sleep
readings from notable actors such as Jerome Flynn (Bronn from "Game of
Thrones"), Calm is a fantastic app for both falling asleep and meditating.
Of course, your sleep is
only as good as your mattress. Without a mattress that supports your body and
enables you to feel comfortable in bed, you can't get the most out of your
sleep cycles.
