Now, there are several applications from the App Store that can help us relax and fall asleep by listening to the sound of nature, instruments, or other soothing sounds with timers to automatically turn-off the sounds at a pre-determined time. The applications reviewed here are Ambiance, iChillout and aSleep, all for $0.99 each. You don’t have to buy all of them. Their features are almost the same, and what’s more important is finding the sound that will help you relax and fall asleep.
Here is the summary of what each application has to offer with my rating for each.
As you can see, aSleep has the most number of sounds you can choose from, consequently, with the biggest file size. People may like the sound of falling rain or one of the meditation sound.
Some of us must have hard time falling asleep at night even when everything is quiet… maybe too quiet. When counting sheep simply does not work like Mr. Bean, listen to an audio book on iPhone like Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” or Stephen Hawking’s “A Briefer History of Time”. Usually, sleeping in about an hour into the story. The problem however is, waking up in the middle of the night with the audio book still playing and if you have to turn it off, and that brings you back to where you started—awake.
