Deep Sleep: a cure for insomnia and a relaxation for yoga by Ghat/VersaCom helps you get that much-needed rest by lulling you into a deep sleep.

If you have problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting a deep restful sleep, then this is the app for you. It uses deep relaxing sounds to put you into a deep relaxing sleep. Features of this app include high-quality sounds that feature natural sounds, binaural beats, music, environmental sounds, and voice.

You can choose to listen to a pre-made session or create your own by browsing through the 100 sounds available. Your session can last five minutes to 60. There is volume and mixer control, French and English versions, the ability to save/name/replay your favorites, a timer and alarm, and you can share your favorites on your social networks.

In the latest update of the app new sound tracks were added if you choose to upgrade. There are a few in-app upgrades available that vary in price.

Deep Sleep: a cure for insomnia and a relaxation for yoga was updated on Feb. 16, 2013 and currently has 20 customer ratings with an average rating of two and a half out of five stars.

I liked that you could use this app to help you fall asleep, perform relaxation exercises like yoga, or even just use it as white noise in the background. The app is simple enough to use but doesn’t have a large selection of sounds unless you’re willing to spend money on the in-app purchases.

Pros

• Choose from pre-set or customize your own sound set
• Choose the length of time of the set (five to 60 minutes)
• Easy to use

Cons

• Not very much variety unless you’re willing to spend extra on a number of in-app purchases

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.1 or later. Deep Sleep: a cure for insomnia and a relaxation for yoga is optimized for iPhone 5.
