Résumé
Commercially available smartphone apps represent an ever-evolving and fast-growing market. Our review systematically surveyed currently available commercial sleep smartphone apps to provide details to inform both providers and patients alike, in addition to the healthy consumer market. Most current sleep apps offer a free version and are designed to be used while awake, prior to sleep, and focus on the enhancement of sleep, rather than measurement, by targeting sleep latency using auditory stimuli. Sleep apps could be considered a possible strategy for patients and consumers to improve their sleep, although further validation of specific apps is recommended.
