It’s estimated that a huge 1 in 3 people have at least mild insomnia, many of them developing unhealthy sleeping habits and finding sleeping pills ineffective in the long-run. Aside from the obvious symptom of tiredness, insomnia can cause other more serious conditions including depression, anxiety and lack of concentration.
For many insomniacs, they see their situation as being hopeless. However, technology has responded and a plethora of innovative gadgets and apps have been created to specifically help those who struggle with sleep – some of the top options are described below.
Alarm Clock for Me
Don’t be fooled by the name, as this app is much more than just an alarm clock. Alarm Clock for Me is a free app available now on the Google App store and contains specifically-designed features to assist with going to sleep.
In addition to its customizable alarm clock and weather updates, Alarm Clock for Me features an innovative sleep timer. This can be specifically tailored to your desired sleeping pattern and will play relaxing, sleep-inducing tunes or white noise dependent on your preference. Whichever you choose, this app is a great way to start your journey to better sleep.
