A good night’s sleep can be all that stands between you and a positive, productive day. Not getting enough, on the other hand, can seriously affect your ability to perform. These handy apps will help you get forty winks.

Sleepmaster – Pop your phone under your pillow and this sleep monitoring app will track your shut-eye through the night, displaying the results in a graph. When it’s time to get up, the app will wake you in the lightest part of your sleep pattern.

Sleep Bug – Ambient sound mixer Sleep Bug creates soothing soundscapes designed to make you feel calmer and take your mind off the day’s concerns. With twelve scenes to choose from, you can decide whether you want to be whisked away to the beach or outer space!

Sleep Recorder – Perhaps what happens while you’re asleep could reveal more than you think? The sound-activated Sleep Recorder app is designed to capture any monologues you happen to make during the night. Listen back to yourself for an eye-opening insight into what’s on your mind.

Fitbit Companion – If you have a Fitbit, you can monitor your sleep as well as your daily steps and calorie intake. The app tracks how many hours you were in bed, how many you were asleep for, how many times you woke up and how long it took you to fall asleep.

Snore Killer – if your partner is keeping you awake by snoring, why not get your own back with snore killer? Snore Killer will start making a noise to disturb the snorer – payback for them disrupting your sleep! Perhaps not a long-term solution but a fun idea for the weekend!

Sleep Better – 6 hours? 8 hours? 10 hours? Depending on how many ZZZs you need to catch, this app calculates the perfect time for waking up or going to bed.
