YOU WILL LEARN
To better understand your sleep patterns and how your body works at night
YOU'LL NEED
Pillow (Free, offers IAPS), IOS 14 or later
A good night's sleep is essential for your general wellbeing. Adults need between seven and nine hours each day but the quality of that time in bed can vary wildly a night of light sleep could leave you feeling rather groggy come the morning.
To help, you could do worse than try Pillow which monitors how well or how badly you sleep. It came top in a recent group test, praised for providing an abundance of data. It'll break down your sleep patterns, let you record your snoring and sleep talking, create presets for naps and longer sleep sessions and, if used in conjunction with Apple Watch, track many other personal metrics. It'll work in tandem with Apple Health and ease you into the land of nod if you're having trouble.
None of this comes cheap; you need a subscription (£6.99/month or £39.99/year) to make the most of it. You're also providing a lot of data. But don't worry. All personal data is retained on your device (and, optionally, in your iCloud account). Hopefully, that'll help you sleep better. David Crookes
