3 sleep analysis apps tested for you: Femme Actuelle Le MAG


After 55 years, the human need for sleep remains unchanged (7-8 hours per night) but its quality deteriorates. Some people take longer to fall asleep, others have nocturnal awakenings. To improve your nights, it is important to understand your own sleep mechanisms through mobile applications that capture our movements and breathing on the bedside table. Completely free and available on iOS and Android, they offer complete monitoring as well as solutions to improve your nights and thus leave the little sleeping pill in the closet.

Sleep Better, to make a complete assessment of your nights (editor’s choice)

Was the day rather stressful? Athletic ? Have we been drinking alcohol? Do you sleep in your own bed? Before each bedtime, we must complete a short questionnaire on the app to determine the state of our body. Based on this information, the app analyzes sleep patterns and cycles as well as light and deep sleep cycles, the number of sleep interruptions and the time awake. We can then find all the statistics of our nights and ad hoc advice. We then realize that the quality of sleep often depends on factors preceding bedtime.

iRonfle, to fight nocturnal purrs

Sometimes it’s your snoring (or your partner’s) that is responsible for your poor sleep. Whether chronic or occasional, they are not to be taken lightly because they can be the cause of sleep apnea. The iRonfle app measures the frequency and intensity of snoring. Based on additional information such as bedtime and wake-up times, the app categorizes your type of snoring and then suggests several ways to solve the problem without having to make a separate room.

Alarm clock Hello, to wake up on the right foot

For this app, it is first of all its waking routine that must be revolutionized in order to sleep better at night. Alarm Clock Bonjour calculates the best time to wake up during a phase of light sleep. Thanks to all the data it collects on your sleep, the app is even able to suggest relaxing or invigorating music depending on the type of night – restless or deep – you have just spent. Only negative point: it is essential to leave your smartphone less than 50 cm from your pillow.

Available on AppleStore.

These apps provide access to sleep data and do not replace the advice of a specialist in cases of deep and chronic insomnia.
