Sleep Better Apps Lately, it seems like more and more people are talking about the effect sleep – or lack of sleep – has on our health.

This isn’t anything new.  In fact, we’ve talked about it before on the blog.

But technology tends to get a pretty bad rep when it comes to sleep.

This is no surprise when 95% of us use some sort of electronic device at least a few nights a week during the hour before bed[1].

Think about it – wouldn’t looking at your work e-mail right before bed potentially keep you up at night with stress?

Or maybe you can’t stop watching funny cat videos on YouTube (let’s face it – they’re pretty darn cute.  Exhibit A.)

But what if you could use technology as a tool to help improve your sleep?

Great news: you can.

We’ve rounded up some apps you can use to sleep better and smarter.  These cover everything from sleep tracking to power naps – so you’re sure to find one to fit your lifestyle needs!
