Respiro

Respiro helps you to slow your breathing rate as you drop off to sleep. Using any phone, you project a circle of light on to the ceiling, which will grow and shrink in time with your breath. Close your eyes and let the gentle light provide gentle cues to the brain for gradually slowing your breathing. Respiro is designed to mimic a natural breathing pattern to allow you to move from regular breathing to slow breathing for sleep.

You can set how long you want to run for, and a start and end breathing rate, and the app will do the rest, lowering your breathing rate to a relaxed level. When you reach the end of the time, your phone screen will turn off to allow you to sleep naturally in the dark.

When it's time to wake, Respiro will give a gentle sunrise, changing from orange through to bright white, ending with an optional alarm to make sure you wake up.

Respiro is the full sleep aid to allow you to feel refreshed the next day.
