Here are some sleep product reviews that can help get to sleep more easily:
Sleep Cycle App for iPhone
For some people, they tend to sleep for an average of 7 to 8 hours but still feel sleepy during the day. Research has shown that this unsatisfied appetite for sleep can be caused by the time you wake up as much as the number of hours you sleep. You see, sleep is not one continuous “mass”; it tends to fluctuate in different phases.
Some phases like REM where you get to dream are associated with deeper sleep. Others like N-REM are associated with light sleep. If you wake up in REM (deep sleep), you are more likely feel grouchy during the day. The transition from one stage of sleep to another is characterized by tossing and turning. The Sleep Cycle App for iPhone has an in-built accelerometer to determine which stage of sleep you are in so as to wake you up when you are in the shallowest phase.
Pzizz App
The amount and type of sound in your environment can determine your quality of sleep. Pzizz is an app that is specially made for iPhone and Android phones so as to play the music that is relaxing. This app is made to mix over a billion track combinations so that you never have to listen to two similar tracks in the same night and probably in your lifetime.
