9. Sleep Partner - Simplifying Your Nighttime Routine
No, Sleep Partner isn't the latest in a long line of casual-sex dating apps (plenty of options out there), but an app designed to make those crucial human routines of getting to sleep and waking up that bit easier. Similarly to Twilight, Sleep Partner works partly by filtering out the blue light on your smartphone screen in the hours leading up to your bedtime (which you set yourself). This reduces glare and prepares your eyes for resting by giving your screen a warm reddish-brown tint. The app helps you out with the excruciating process of waking up too, as it offers its own alarm system that includes the soothing sound of birds chirping to ease you into the new day - a refreshing change from the cacophony of abrasive sounds that often make up the default alarms on Android phones. If you miss the bedtime you set for yourself in Sleep Partner, then you'll be greeted by a bunch of sheep on your screen (the more missed bedtimes you have, the more sheep), pushing you to go to bed. Kind of cute, though admittedly a bit annoying considering they appear over whatever you're doing on your phone...
