Individuals suffering from insomnia are increasingly turning to tech for assistance.
Sleepio has a virtual sleep assistant called "The Prof". Powered by AI software, he aims to help users get to sleep more easily.But despite the positives of all this technology, there can be a downside to using your device in the middle of a sleepless night, according to Lisa.
The potentially stimulating effect of technology is also a concern for sleep expert Alison Francis. "The whole idea of giving the mind a rest from technology, and turning technology off, goes out the window," she says. Headspace is an app that aims to help users boost their mental wellbeing through meditation. Chief product and design officer Leslie Witt says it very much includes a focus on helping people improve their sleep.
"Workplaces are seeing that sleep is critical," adds Ms Witt. "But there's still progress to be made on getting bosses to see how demands on a global workforce can raise sleep-disrupting stress levels."
