In the world, one in every three inhabitants suffers some sleep disorder according to a report, published in 2017, revealed by the Spanish Association of Neurology. At least 10% of these experience severe or chronic disease. Insomnia is the most common pathology among Spaniards: its causes are diverse, although the predominant one, of course, is the stress to which we are subjected in our daily life. Sometimes, ‘consult with the pillow’ our problems is not the best when what we need, in reality, is to sleep and rest.
And as our phone can be one of the reasons why we have insomnia (check your phone at night can affect the sleep cycle due to the light emitted by your screen) we will try to give you a benefit. Let’s go to the Android application store and search through the best five applications to sleep or, at least, the most curious we could find.
SHLEEP
If you look closely, the name of the app is quite curious: it is formed by combining the words ‘Sheep’ and ‘Sleep’ which means in Spanish, respectively, ‘Sheep’ and ‘Sleeping.’ Based on recent scientific studies about sleep habits, Shleep wants to become your sleep coach. The application will teach you to change the harmful practices that influence you at the time of falling asleep. And your coach will be, of course, a beautiful sheep.
The sheep will ask you for personal information about your daily habits. Depending on the answers you give (for example, the sheep asks you how many times it is difficult for you to sleep. Or if you use your cell phone in your room) our sheep coach will elaborate a personalized plan so that you can start changing your habits and begin to rest as It’s due. The only bad thing about the application is that it is not available in Spanish, but you also have an excuse to put your English into practice.
Shleep can be downloaded for free from the Android application store although you have purchases inside. The installation file weights 3 MB so you can download it whenever you want without your mobile data suffering too much.
FABULOUS: MOTIVATE ME!
A complete application that tries to change your life habits, to modify your behavior to achieve small things, first, and later. Sure, with the ultimate goal of you sleeping much better. With this application you set the goal you want to achieve: it can be to feel more energized, concentrate more on your work, lose weight and, of course, sleep better, which is what interests us here.
The main attraction of Fabulous is its colorful and lovely design: it is one of those applications that enter through the eyes. Also, its operation is straightforward and intuitive. You need to register with your email account to start using a trip that can change your life.
The application has a life-changing plan that you will have to fulfill, little by little, to complete the challenges that it poses and thus be able to continue finalizing plans. The first idea we must do is to increase our energy: the application will ask us for a series of things we must do in the next three days, such as drinking water as soon as we get up, have a good breakfast, take a walk, etc.
The Fabulous application is free although there is a premium mode for 10 euros per month, with which you can save your progress. The installation file of the app is 40 MB, so we advise you to download it under a WiFi connection.
SLEEPY TIME: CALCULATE YOUR DREAM
A tremendously simple application with which you will calculate what time you should get up, go to bed or figure what time you should get up if you go to bed at this moment. It is an application with a functional interface to the extreme: you apply the time, and the app automatically calculates the best options according to that time.
For example, we tell the application that we are going to go to bed at 11 o’clock at night. Then, according to your calculations, it informs you that you should get up, for example, at 0:44 if you want to sleep only a little, or at 6:44 if you want to rest up to 5 sleep cycles. The app calculates that it will take you to sleep for a quarter of an hour, but this can be modified in the settings, in addition to acquiring the version without advertising that costs 80 cents.
With Sleepy Time you will be able to get up just when you are going to find yourself, calculating sleep cycles of 90 to 90 minutes. The application is free but, as we said before, you have the option to unlock ads. Its installation file is less than 3 MB so you can download it whenever you want.
WHITE NOISE
Hand in hand with the developer Relaxio we find a fantastic application that can help you reconcile sleep before and better. With ‘White Noise’ we have at our disposal a series of environmental sounds that can help you even with your productivity. Interference noise, cafeteria atmosphere, crackling fire, rain, sea … Also, these noises can mix with each other: for example, if you want to pretend to be in a cafe while it rains outside.
You can choose from among all the sounds which ones you want as favorites to have them at hand. This application is free but with ads inside. And its installation file weights 12 MB so you can download it whenever you want without your data suffering too much.
NIGHT FILTER
The light of the screen of our mobile phone can confuse our brain and make us think that we are not ready to go to sleep. That is why it is convenient to use an app to place a filter and dim the light. With ‘Night filter’ you can apply a light filter of the color you want (you can modify it in the settings). We recommend that you put a blue or orange screen, a few bold colors. Although the best thing you can do, directly, is to avoid using your cell phone in bed. We can also tell the application to activate the filter automatically at a specific time.
The application ‘ Night filter ‘ is free but contains ads inside. Its installation file is less than 7 MB, so you can download it whenever you want.
