As our lives become busier and more hectic, it can sometimes be difficult to unwind at the end of the day. Not to mention, with so many electronic devices now being part of our daily lives, with all our emails and social activities accessible from more places, including our beds, it can become more difficult to switch off enough to fall asleep. If this sounds familiar, then there are a number of apps which are designed to better position you to be able to fall asleep. Below are ten of those apps that you might want to consider trying.

There really is a ton of other features too.

Twilight
For those who often use their smartphone or tablet late into the night, this might be the solution as Twilight takes a different approach to helping you sleep.
