Struggling to sleep? Don’t go it alone: Using BetterSleep every night can help you understand your slumber patterns, giving you actionable insights that could dramatically improve your sleep. With the app’s in-depth information about your progress and its soporific soundscapes (all customizable), you’ll be out like a light.

What we love: A really cute chronotype—an animal mascot that represents your unique sleep habits—presents your sleep data in an engaging way. BetterSleep uses your chronotype, alongside your sleep data and listening history, to recommend content that’s suited to you. Using these tools regularly can help you understand when you’re at your most productive or when you need some extra shut-eye.

Quick tip: Look out for information on your melatonin levels in the app (melatonin is a hormone that plays a role in your sleep cycle)—knowing when those levels are optimal for sleep will help you decide when’s the best time for bed. BetterSleep also connects with the Health app, allowing you to compile and compare your sleep data with other factors influencing your overall health.

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 Montreal, Quebec, the Ipnos Software team launched the first version of their app in May 2009—the first year of the App Store.
