Soothing Story Apps

The Bedtime App Helps Users Fall Asleep and Tracks Nightly Activity

Most people get their entertainment through screens, be it with a streaming service, scrolling through social media, or by reading articles, and the Bedtime app is way to cut out all that light and noise and fall asleep every evening. The smartphone app uses a combination of ASMR-style story telling and proprietary sleep tracking to help users both get to sleep faster and, with practice, sleep more deeply once they're there.

Sleep tracking apps have gained popularity as fitness wearables have become common accessories, but there aren't as many apps or services dedicated to getting people to fall asleep in the first place. Many people find themselves conking out while an episode of television runs on their laptops, so the Bedtime app provides a better solution.
