Relax Melodies
The trick to a good night’s rest? Getting yourself to chill out. This app lets you play doze-off DJ, allowing you to mix together 64 different ambient melodies to create a sound that hits all the right notes in your head. It’s like a lullaby for adults and beats asking your partner for an awkward rendition of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. iOS and Android
Twilight
Your smartphone is sucking up precious hours of shuteye, and not because of Twitter. The culprit: blue light. The American Medical Association’s Council on Science and Public Health says that exposure to excessive gleam can tank your chances of a decent night’s sleep. The solution? This app slowly drains the colour from your screen, fading out harsh blues to dim reds by the end of the day, stimulating the part of you that wants to sleep, and not the part that wants to stay up and disappear down the Youtube rabbit hole.
