Sleeping is one of humanity's great constants. No matter how much coffee you drink or encouraging songs you listen to, you'll eventually give in to the desire to sleep.
However, for some, sleeping is one of life's great difficulties due to sickness or a drastic change in sleeping habits. As such, lacking or having too much sleep for a prolonged period will be detrimental to your health, per Premier Health.
Here are some apps that could help you sleep better at night easily and quickly.
Oura
One of the most accurate sleep trackers on the market, Oura uses a ring that detects body signals through the highly sensitive arteries in your fingers, allowing the app to learn about your heart rate, temperature, and sleep activity, per Good House Keeping.
After tracking your daytime and nighttime activities, the app will help you identify what you need to do to sleep better easily and quickly. These include getting more daily exercise, or spending a few extra minutes in mind-clearing mindfulness, like slow, deep breaths, per Web MD.
The app is free to download, but for it to properly function, you'll need to buy the ring mentioned earlier for $299.
BetterSleep: Relax and Sleep
For those who want to listen to a particular melody to help them sleep, BetterSleep: Relax and Sleep will help users customize and mix different sounds and melodies to lull them to sleep, per Healthline.
The app also comes with a sleep-inducing program called "Sleep Moves" that feature guided exercises with a pillow to help you enjoy restful sleep, which is approved by health and sleep professionals.
The app is free to download, but it has optional in-app purchases that can further expand the app's capabilities.
Pzizz
Another melody-based sleep app, Pzizz lulls you to sleep with music that includes a soothing, movie-style soundtrack that fades out over time, per Mashable. You can set the time you want to listen to these soundtracks for as long as 24 hours, if you so wish, according to the app's official website.

Pzizz also offers narration in both male and female voices that you can turn on or off anytime. These narrations change each time you use them and are based on proven clinical sleep interventions, along you to sleep more soundly.
The app is free but also offers in-app purchases to unlock everything in it.
Slumber: Fall Asleep, Insomnia
Similar to the apps previously mentioned, Slumber: Fall Asleep, Insomnia features a collection of audio tracks that helps you beat insomnia or difficulty in sleeping so you can catch those zzzs quickly.
However, instead of using music or melodies, Slumber uses sleep-inducing stories and meditations designed to put you into a state of deep calm, helping you sleep faster and easier.
You can also add background noise like nature sounds and effects to create the perfect ambiance while you sleep.
Slumber: Fall Asleep, Insomnia is free, but with optional in-app purchases.
Calm
Much like Slumber, Calm is another app that includes bedtime stories for kids and adults that are read aloud by people with soothing voices, such as Matthew McConaughey.
The free version of the app features a few stories, but a subscription unlocks a lot of bedtime stories as well as guided meditations, breathing programs, stretching exercises and relaxing music that aren't included in the app's free version.
Calm is free to download, but has in-app purchases that unlocks its full potential.
