"I have had acupuncture treatments with great success, but they can be costly."

"This stuff really works I use it all the time and it helps relieve the pain I have from a chronic medical condition."
"As a believer in taking a more holistic approach to healing (herbals, aromatherapy, yoga and Tai Chi), I'm rather surprised that I've enjoyed a great deal of relief from acupuncture and yet never thought to try accupressure!"
"This seems like an okay app, except that there's no warning that you need a little experience to do this without getting frustrated with the somewhat vague instructions."

"The fact that you can change the sounds to fit your mood ,and set the timer to shut it down automatically is really a PLUS!"
"Okay, I confess that I got it when it was the free app of the day, but before I got the free paid app I had the free one which I replaced. It's still a great price, and if free is more your style (like mine), the free app is still out there."
"There is music, surf, white noise, fire crackling, frogs (although this one is spooky), and you can mix and match to your specification (Frogs in the fire might be weird)."
"The app has a wide variety of sounds ranging from static noises to natural noises to the din of civilization."
"I recently purchased a pair of Sleep Headphones, and remembered this app. I'm a light sleeper, and used to always be aware of the A/C starting and stopping, the icemaker in our fridge in the middle of the night, dogs barking in the neighborhood, my husband's intermittant snoring, and even when all noises stopped, the absolute quiet disturbed me! This app on my tablet, and my soft Sleephones-Pajamas for your Ears- (also purchased on Amazon, look for my review of them too) together have changed my life! I finally know what it's like to fall asleep quickly, and even if I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I go right back to sleep. Use one for meditation, or yoga, or to help mask those very annoying eating noises at the dinner table... yes, I have that Soft Sound Sensitivity thing, and will find a lot of uses for this app!"
"As a very light sleeper and a person that thinks too much, this app allows me to relax and sleep peacefully when I need to."
"It had so many sounds and musical loops you can make a truly unique mix each time. The binaural waves can be accessed separately and added into whichever sound mix you choose."

Find Best Price at Amazon"HOWEVER: UPDATE 01/30/2013 - PROBLEM WITH LOOP - REMOVED FROM KINDLE AND THEN RE-LOADED - STILL A PROBLEM. Recently I upgraded from the Kindle Fire 1st Gen to Kindle Fire HD and this App no longer functions properly. - This sleep aid app has gone back to being the all time favorite of my wife and me."
"You can then select time durations for the sounds to play ranging from 1 minute to continuous. At the end of the set time the volume slowly faded in the last 10 seconds to then shut off. Permissions: * Read phone status and identity. * Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage. * Full network access. * Prevent tablet from sleeping. The app contains Millenial adware which can collect personal data from your device and share it with the developer such as IP address and device data."
"Overall, the app itself is good and well made, but sound apps are only as good as their sounds, and I didn't really care for the sound quality in this one, unfortunately. I hear a lot of background static and noise in nearly every sound clip, including white noise, which I'd expect to be very clear."
"Highly recommended as an aid to lulling small children off to sleep, and getting some much needed peace and quiet... Includes sounds like rain, thunder, birds, heartbeat, white noise, train, engine, waterfall, fan, beach and many many many more!"

When I am ready to go to the doctor's office I just email myself a list of all my B/P readings since I was last at the doctor's office. Everything I mentioned above is listed for each B/P reading."
"This app makes it really easy to keep track of, I haven't found any others that I like better yet, although I would like to find one that would pdf my chart in an easy to read format that she could read in her office."

"When it was working, it did a wonderful job of keeping track of things for me."
"I was looking for an APP like this to record my blood pressure."
"My only complaint...and it a small one, is that on the android version I can't include MAP and PP on the chart. In Android, MAP and PP are always displayed on the Log."
"Before this app I recorded daily on paper but these graphs make it so much easier to view what is happening, and I just take my kindle to my doctor appts."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It is AMAZING to see how my son's sleep habits have changed, I can tell when he was sick how much more he napped, I know when I gave him medicine last, and I can look back to see if side effects he has might be from food or medicine. It also helps remind me which solid foods we have tried so I know what food he is OK to eat- and which foods he is sensitive to. I originally gave this a 4 star..."
"I got the app because our daughter was underweight and I wanted to follow her eating and sleep patterns. This app helps me to remember when I last breastfed, track how much formula she's eating, see how her growth is matching up, and see how much she slept and when. There is oodles of functionality in this app, and lots of ways to read your data once you collect it."
"Unfortunately, most of the free apps didn't sync between multiple devices, or didn't have all the features we wanted."
"Tons of other things you can track as well as nursing, pumping, diapers, medical, moods, and activities."

Best Sleep Tracking
This application is a guided meditation intended to help you overcome insomnia and get to sleep. "Deep Sleep recording has made it possible for me to fall asleep in 15 minutes instead of 2 hours of tossing and turning - I am most grateful! Going to try the Quit Smoking one; now that my sleep cycle is regulated, I am more physically and mentally ready to kick the butts. We all need to slow down sometimes, to relax, to unwind - yet after a hectic day at work, a terrible commute, or a nightmare shopping trip it may seem impossible. The vast majority of people have never had any relaxation training and therefore find it difficult to switch off, be still and fall deeply asleep.

"The only negative for me really is that in the back of my mind I think that my Kindle is still on draining the battery which makes it hard for me to stay asleep."
"With problems falling asleep and staying asleep, I've recently bought a new bed; made an effort not to eat or drink within three hours before bedtime (recommendation of a doctor); and tried a prescription sleep aid that leaves me groggy and dry-mouthed."
"I really didn't believe that this app would help me fall asleep."
"The narrator has an enjoyable Scottish accent but there are bits where his intonation on certain words can be giggle worthy. Maybe the wake feature would be useful for power naps but the entire program with all rotations is only a couple hours so if you wanted it for a full nights rest, I can't see where the wake message complete with birdsong would be at all useful or desired."
"I got this when it was the faotd, I was having a very hard time getting to sleep and the sleep aides at the store weren't helping and left me groggy in the morning."
"Awesome!!"
"After reading other reviews I decided it was a good idea to try my alarm out to check for conflict instead of laying there worrying about whether or not it was going to work in the morning."

""White Noise" v. 5.6.3 Good selection of sounds and you can download more. Playing with buffer size, as one person commented, does not lengthen the sound loops, so something like chimes repeats in a way that's noticeable, but for something like white or pink noise it probably won't matter. There is a setting called "prevent interruption" that allows you to shut off ringer, notifications, etc. My experience with Android apps from Amazon vs. ones from GP is that you periodically need to update the Amazon Appstore app or you will (temporarily) lose offline access to some things."
"The loading of the web offered files was quick and seamless, I didn't have to do anything save to select the well described audio files."
"I've been using this app for years."
"It allows you to set the pitch and volume of the mixed sounds so you can get it just the way you want it to sound! It runs in the background ( with or without the sounds ) so you can use it as a 24 hour reminder clock. You can pick the sound you want it to wake you from a large selection of sounds. I like the fact that it will display a large set of numbers to show you the time."
"For as long as I can remember I've been a very light sleeper....if my partner breathes too loudly it'll wake me & then be unable to fall back asleep."
