There are a variety of apps to help you with sleeping problems. Sleep problems can include insomnia, sleep apnoea, parasomnias and adjusting to shift work.
- Some apps use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which can help you understand and change the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are contributing to insomnia.
- Some apps are mainly sleep tracking apps that help you to better understand your sleep patterns. Some can measure your body movements to track whether you are asleep, awake or restless in your sleep. Other tracking apps are a diary function where you can record lifestyle activities related to sleep.
- Some apps are audio sleep aids that play a constant sound (white noise) that helps to block out other disturbances.
- Snoring apps are aimed at people who snore. Most of the apps record your snoring while you sleep so you become aware of the extent of the problem. Some apps, such as SnoreGym, have exercises to help you exercise and tone parts of your upper airway.
