Everyone with a smartphone has heard time and time again that looking at your phone before bed is a bad idea. According to the National Sleep Foundation, “The use of electronic devices in the bedroom further disrupts the natural pattern of the sleep-wake cycle” primarily because of the blue light emitted from the screen. While most scientific data pertaining to sleep recommends you place your phone in another room overnight, those who toss and turn regardless of phone location might benefit from using technology rather than tucking it away. Here are three FREE sleep apps that might help you get to dreamland faster.
3 FREE APPS TO HELP YOU CATCH THOSE Z’S INSOMNIACS UNITE
Pzizz While there are many apps that claim to help people fall asleep quicker, very few are programmed to prevent sleepers from growing bored of the same monotonous soundtracks. Pzizz combines music, sound effects, and binaural beats, and an embedded algorithm generates a slightly different track each time you use it.

Many troubled sleepers who are able to fall asleep are jolted awake shortly afterward.
SHOWING OUR APPRECIATION FOR LIFECARE INNOVATIONS A Safer Community for Its Most Vulnerable Members
Have You Heard the Good News?
BrightStar Care of Central DuPage has had the pleasure of working alongside organizations in our area with similar missions and passions, and we think it's fitting to show our appreciation for the work of one of these organizations in particular: Lifecare Innovations. Lifecare Innovations serves people who, because of age, psychiatric conditions, or developmental disabilities, cannot manage day-to-day life on their own. They are made up of around 25 social workers with a wide variety of responsibilities, including coordinating care, managing health care issues, and arranging for support and services that contribute to safety and independence. In situations where there are no other candidates for the role, the staff members of Lifecare can also act as a power of attorney or a legal guardian. The expertise and collective knowledge of Lifecare’s highly experienced staff helps customize their approach to each individual’s specific needs and find solutions to a myriad of highly complicated problems.
BrightStar Care partners with Lifecare to provide nursing and non-medical care for some of their guardianship clients. Lifecare fills an increasingly necessary role in today’s society. The adult children of our aging clients often live far away and aren’t always available to provide their loved ones with support and guidance. They are relieved to know that a professional clinician can fill the role of caregiver to their parents or other elderly relatives. Ultimately, Lifecare’s services make the community safer for its most vulnerable neighbors. We at BrightStar Care of Central DuPage look forward to continuing our partnership. If you have questions or are interested in Lifecare Innovations, please contact Martha Kerns, Chief Marketing Officer at 630-953-2154.
Romans 15:13 — May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 10:13 — No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 — But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
