If you consistently have trouble falling asleep at night, this insomnia app could be the answer to your problems.
Sleepstation is developed by one of the United Kingdom's foremost sleep authorities Dr. Kirstie Anderson and uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people sleep better. The insomnia app offers a six week therapy program that Anderson feels is more effective at curing insomnia than sleeping pills. The customizable app can be personalized to the user, making it even more likely to work.
While the $100 price tag of this program might be hefty, compared to free apps that provide a one size fits all solution to sleep problems, it is likely worth it. This is especially the case when you consider the cost of seeing a therapist in person for six weeks.
