Struggling to rest? BetterSleep will track your sleep patterns, giving you actionable insights on your night-time hours. Try the app’s soporific soundscapes (all customisable) to aid relaxation and see in-depth information on your progress towards a better night’s sleep.

What we love: A really cute chronotype – an animal mascot that represents your unique sleep habits – presents your data in an engaging way. BetterSleep uses your chronotype alongside your sleep metrics and listening history to recommend content suited to you. Use these tools regularly and the app will show you when you’re most productive, or when you need some extra rest.

Quick tip: Check out the information on your levels of melatonin (the sleep hormone) so that you know when you’ve hit the best time for bed. BetterSleep also connects with the Health app.

Meet the creator: BetterSleep was formerly Relax Melodies, the sleep sounds and relaxation app that has been downloaded by tens of millions of people to date. Based in Montréal, Québec, the Ipnos Software team launched the first version of their app in May 2009 – the first year of the App Store.
