Have you ever gone to bed early after a long day at work, only to find that you just can’t fall asleep? Most of us assume that when we feel tired, it will be easy to drift off. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. In fact, if you are under a lot of stress, you might find it hard to stop all those negative thoughts whirring around in your head. For example, if you are having trouble finishing a project at work, it can seem impossible to stop worrying about it. This can cause you to lose out on previous sleep.

It’s not new that sleep is important to a productive life

Poor sleep quality and insomnia don’t just leave you feeling tired and grouchy

[1] – they can have serious effects on your health. A lack of sleep makes you more vulnerable to accidents, it puts you at risk of chronic ailments including heart disease, and it makes you more likely to gain weight[2]. If you suffer from depression, you should pay particular attention to your sleeping patterns, as improving the quality of your sleep will improve your mood[3]. Finally, poor sleep can even raise your risk of death. Research has shown that the mortality risk of people who get fewer than seven hours’ sleep per night is 12% higher compared to that of the general population[4].

Listening to natural sound would make it easier for you to fall asleep

Fortunately, there’s an app that will help you wind down before sleep, and allow you to wake up feeling refreshed. “Sleep Time & Nature Sounds” is an easy, effective way to get a great night’s sleep! The app lets you play tunes and soothing sounds which will clear your mind ready for sleep:

The app lets you create your own playlists for tunes and videos, or you can use its readymade lists that span a range of genres including jazz and hip-hop:

Finally, the app comes with a timer that will turn off the app once you have fallen asleep. Just program it with your desired time, and the sound will gradually wind down once the time is up.

This app is perfect for those of us who need some help relaxing at the end of a difficult day, or winding down after a tough week at work. Download it today and get ready for the best night’s sleep of your life!

Premium Membership costs $7.99 per week, or $9.99 per month. Upgrading your experience means you will no longer have to see in-app advertisements, plus you will have access to a wider range of tunes and soothing sounds.
