Best sleep apps for iPhone: Sleep Cycle, Noisli, Recharge, and more!

From tracking sleep to white noise makers and smart alarms, these are the very best sleep apps for iPhone!

Looking for the best iPhone apps to help you get a great night’s sleep? We all know that getting enough rest is extremely important to our overall health. Whether you just need some help getting to sleep or you want to track your activity to see why you’re so tired the next day, there are tons of apps available in the App Store that can help. Most of them don’t require the use of an additional fitness tracker either. But which apps for iPhone are the absolute best at tracking and helping you get the best night’s sleep possible?

Sleep Cycle

Sleep Cycle alarm clock is a smart alarm app that attempts to wake you up and the best possible moment so you aren’t interrupted during deep sleep. Simply set an alarm and place your iPhone at the side of your pillow while plugged in. The Sleep Cycle app will monitor your movement by using the accelerometer in your iPhone and always wake you during light sleep instead of deep sleep. Sleep Cycle can even work in the background once you close it. In the morning you can see a full sleep analysis of how you slept the night before. Sleep Cycle can even integrate with Phillips HUE bulbs if you already own them.

For complete sleep analysis paired with a smart alarm, Sleep Cycle is one of the best available.

Sunriser

Sunriser is a very unique smart alarm that instead of focusing on waking you up during light sleep, aims to get you the most out of each day by waking you up at the same time the sun rises in your area. On the main screen of Sunriser, you’ll be shown a countdown timer to when your alarm will go off. If you want, you can also tell Sunriser to wake you up at a specific time instead of when the sun rises. Either way, the simplicity of the Sunriser app may appeal to those that want a better alarm app than the built-in option.

If you want to get the most possible hours out of your day, every, get Sunriser.

Noisli

Noisli is an elegant and beautifully designed ambient noise app that lets you choose the types of sounds you want to hear and for how long you’d like to hear them. The Noisli app itself can also change color to suit any kind of situation whether you’re just trying to relax or want to fall asleep. If you have favorite noise presets, you can save those as well and access them in just a few taps. Since Noisli stores all your sounds locally, you can use it even without an internet connection.

For a simple and well designed ambient noise app, look no further than Noisli.

Recharge

All of us have messy schedules sometimes and there’s nothing we can do to avoid it. Recharge aims to get us back into a healthy sleep and physical activity schedule over 6 weeks. Not only does Recharge aim to gradually get you back to a regular bedtime interval, it also mixes in regular daily exercise to make sure that you’re as healthy as you can be in all aspects of your day. At the end of each day you can see a daily report of how you did and how on track you are to a regular bed time again.

For folks that need some help establishing a regular sleep and exercise routine, look no further than Recharge.

Dreameo

Dreameo is a beautifully crafted sleep journal that lets you log all your dreams and can help you analyze them. Along with searching for dream meanings and interpretations, you can add any notes you’d like to each dream while you remember the details so you can reference them later. Dreameo is also working on rolling out an entire social network where dreamers can comment, view, and interact on each other’s dreams.

When it comes to dream journals and interpretation, you need Dreameo.

The NSA’s mass surveillance program for phone call metadata is still going

Tech leaders unite on government data collection reform

After uniting over issues with net neutrality, tech leaders are once again coming together to protect the consumers. In an open letter penned to the United States government, AOL, Apple, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter, and Yahoo are pleading with elected officials to put an end to data collection on the Internet in the age of Edward Snowden and the NSA.

The timely letter is written ahead of a Senate vote. The U.S. Senate will decide if it wants to pass a version of the USA Freedom Act in the next few weeks that would help to keep the Internet safe and secure.

A version of the bill had recently passed in the House, but that version, according to these tech giants, still allows the U.S. government to collect metadata on the Internet. This means that in the case of emails, the government could still obtain information like who is sending the message and who the recipient is. The technology companies that signed the letter are asking for greater protections than the House bill provides.

Asking that the government restricts data collection and allows technology companies to better report what data is being requested under new transparency rules in a bid to restore confidence in the Internet, the companies say that “it is critical to our customers that the bill allow companies to provide even greater detail about the number and type of government requests they receive for customer information.”

“We understand that governments have a duty to protect their citizens,” the letter signed by Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Satya Nadella, and other technology leaders reads. “But the balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual.”

Citing that “confidence in the Internet” had been eroded domestically and internationally over the past year, these technology firms are asking that “U.S. surveillance efforts are clearly restricted by law, proportionate to the risks, transparent, and subject to independent oversight.”
