Any Experience Of Sleep Apps? Thanks

[GE90]

Hi All

I was thinking of giving a sleep app a go. Not really interested in tracking sleep, more something to help me relax and get to sleep.

Would anyone have any experience please? One thing I’m unsure of is how to listen to it...... I wear earplugs to help sleep, and was just thinking that if I listened with say headphones, then when feeling sleepy I would have to remove and put my foam earplugs in, which will probably wake me up more!!

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated please.

Thanks.

I used to play Buckethead Chill to relax my boys and get them to sleep. It works incredibly well on me too.

May be worth a shot, it worked better than rain music, Norah Jones and various other sounds.

I'd recommend Calm, I use it to get a good sleep pre first nightshift and use the kids sleep stories with my son.

It works really well.... the kids sleep story sent my wife to sleep the other week apparently 😂😂

There is a yearly subscription but I've got my first year free through Amex

Thanks so much.

I’ll take a look at Calm. Do you use a headset?

Cheers

I've started listening to the Harry Potter books on Spotify. I set a sleep timer for 20 minutes on my phone and I'm out like a light in about 10 minutes. I actually look forward to listening to it instead of a boring sleep app.

I've got se headphones that you can sleep in. I struggle to sleep in a completely silent room. Girlfriend can't sleep unless its silent...(yet she snores...figure that one out!).

I stick Netflix on...ill be asleep within 10 minutes and generally sleep through the night. Have a blindfold on as well.

Amazon have a loads. Some are wireless and some aren't. I have a wired one which isn't ideal but im cheap!

There's a free Spotify podcast called Sleep Cove by Chris Fitton - a variety of hypnosis / relaxation podcasts to help you drift off as well as some stories. Well worth checking out.
