iSleep Easy – Meditations for Restful Sleep [for iOS]

“As a nurse I have told my patients about this wonderful option for insomnia!” (Review) — Drift off to sleep and sleep more deeply with a wide variety of guided meditations. Create your own sleep program using a Playlist feature which allows you to listen to up to six meditations in one session. Listen voice alone or voice with music or nature sounds, choosing how long the background will continue after the voice guidance stops. If you prefer to listen to music or nature sounds alone, a Sound Mix feature allows you to listen to a combination of music plus a nature sound, or two nature sounds together.

“This beats any chemical sleep aids hands down.” (Review)
