Are you getting enough zzz’s?
Me? I’m not sure I’ve got 8 hours a night clocked up but I am lucky when it comes to actually falling asleep – my head hits the pillow and I’m out for the night. But it hasn’t always been this way, it’s taken me time (and the help of sleep apps) to learn how to quiet my mind enough to sink into a deep sleep, and stay asleep.
Nowadays there is an app for everything, sleeping included. Sleep apps can help you fall asleep and also track your rest periods with an insight into how you slept so you can optimise your snooze time. There are even apps to wake you up gently – say goodbye to that ear-splitting alarm, dragging you out of a deep sleep!
