Without going into the debate of whether having the mobile phone near or far at bedtime is a good or bad idea, there are those who think one thing and those who think another, we are going to try to offer you a selection of the best apps that you can find on Google Play and that will help you overcome your problems at the time of going to sleep.
There are those that help you free your mind at the end of the day, the ones that allow you to fall asleep more quickly or those that simply will fight insomnia through methods such as white noise or relaxing music. Whatever the system, we hope that tonight, if you download any of them, you will have no problem falling into the arms of Morpheus.
Sleepo, custom sleep sounds
This application is one of the most interesting because it offers a large collection of high definition sounds, but the best thing is that we can create the environment we want. You can choose from 32 different types of rain sounds, nature sounds, city sounds, white noise, or instruments. We activate one or the other, until we achieve the environment that most helps us to fall asleep and, if we do not want to lose it, we can save it among our favorites. It has a timer, it works without the need to be connected to the Internet and it is also possible to use it for meditation since it has white, pink and brown noise.
Sleep as Android, sleep monitor, snoring and apnea
Sometimes we sleep badly because we have a problem, but how do we know what is happening to us while we are dreaming? For that we have this application, Sleep as Android, which takes advantage of different sensors on the phone to "radiograph" the quality of our sleep. It is capable of following a person's sleep cycles, intelligently detecting when they have fallen asleep and waking them up, offers sleep deficiency and snoring statistics, is compatible with the Pebble SmartWatch and other smart watches. It has a smart recorder for both those who speak in dreams and snorers. Two are its strengths: the first, an anti-snoring sound and, on the other hand, an alarm clock that does not turn off, for those who, on the contrary, have no trouble sleeping but to wake up, until we solve a riddle, let's use a QR card. or NFC.
Sleep Cycle, alarm clock adapted to your sleep cycles
Like the previous applications, this one has a large collection of sounds to help us fall asleep. However, it has been more focused on getting a good quality of sleep. In this sense, when we sleep we go through different phases that configure cycles. Many times, even if we spend many more hours in bed than normal, we wake up tired. This is because we have opened our eyes in the middle of one of these. Sleep Cycle is responsible for detecting the optimal time, when we are in a light sleep phase, to wake up in the morning, within 30 minutes before the alarm clock rings. Waking up in the lightest sleep phase is natural, what we do when we don't set the alarm.
Sleepzy: anti-sleeper analyzer and alarm clock
Again, we are facing an application capable not only of analyzing how we are sleeping, but also of improving the quality of our sleep time. It wakes us up in the lightest phase of while we sleep, close to the time that we have set on the alarm clock, it allows us to establish rest goals as well as the sleep deficit that we are accumulating, and it has a sound recorder to detect if we snore or we talk at night.
Tide, sounds to sleep, meditate or focus
It is not an application only for sleeping, we can use it throughout the day. That is why we selected it in this list since it presents a platform for mental and physical health, with sounds of nature and guided meditation practices. Seeks us to get rid of trivial routines, find a peaceful and quiet space, which avoids the pressure of day to day, maintain focus and calm, something that will help us, ultimately, to sleep better.
Sleep baby: white noise, so that the little ones rest better (and their parents more)
We have focused on adults, but one of the most frequent causes of lack of sleep in many homes ... is the presence of a baby. This application will help us to make the little one fall asleep. It is similar to Sleepo, in fact the developer is the same, so it shares many of its functions but adapted to the needs of a small child who is not able to sleep. White noise in the background is actually calming for the baby and resembles the kind of sounds that he would hear in the womb, to what is add sounds "Shh-shhh" to calm their anxiety they can be recorded with the voice of the parents. It does not require an Internet connection and has a timer to stop working after a while.
Atmosphere, relaxing sounds
This app uses binaural and isochronic sounds, which allows us to stimulate the mind, reduce stress is even stimulate creativity. Obviously, they also help us rest better, with functions that allow us to import our own audios to mix with the sounds and create the perfect combinations for meditation, yoga, ending stress, overcoming anxiety, insomnia or simply enjoying the sounds of nature.
Sleepy, full control of when to go to bed and wake up
With this application we can know exactly when we should go to sleep to rest better. Depending on the time we set the alarm, it will tell us the number of sleep cycles that we are going to carry out and, therefore, what is the best time to have a restful sleep, regardless of the hours we go to sleep.
Sleeptic: smart alarm clock and sleep health
Two functions stand out in this app: an anti-sleeper alarm clock that will offer us different games to get going from the first minute and not fall asleep; and a sleep monitor that is integrates with Google Fit, It allows us to know different health data of our way of sleeping, it is possible to have different types of rest to compare and it also has a selection of relaxing sounds.
Pzizz, sleep with a click
Simplicity is the keyword of this app that has three options: sleep, nap and focus. Pressing each one of the three will bring up the specific functions of each one, with relaxing sounds, "fast sleep" mode or focusing system based on the pomodoro technique. Based on clinical trials, it has a special mix of sounds, voices and effects capable of making our mind disconnect or focus on a specific task.
