Apps to Help You Sleep

Check out these three apps that will help you get a good night sleep using different audio-based techniques.

Relax & Sleep Well Hypnosis


A self hypnosis and meditation app popularized by the famous British hypnotherapist Glenn Harold, Relax & Sleep Well basically consists of recordings of Glenn Harold on multiple self hypnosis types. The free version comes with a 29-minute self hypnosis recording for falling asleep with background sounds and Glenn's calming voice.

They each cater to different self hypnosis and meditation needs like relaxing, losing weight, gaining confidence, staying happy, lucid dreams, and smoking cessation.

Relax & Sleep Well is compatible for iOS and Android devices.

Pzizz


The Pzizz app plays a different soundtrack each time you use it to help you relax and fall asleep using sounds, music, voices, and binaural beats all together. The makers of the app claims that it can solve insomnia using its unique random algorithm that generates a new sound track every time you use it. It also claims that there are more than 100 billion combinations, which means it's almost impossible for you to hear the same track twice. Aside from that, it gives full control over track duration (from 10 minutes to 12 hours) and controls individual voices/music/sounds and audio type like stereo or 3D. The best part is that the app is completely free to use now, although it was $9.99 before.
