Study: Dream-shaping app ensures restful night

A dream-shaping app can help ensure a restful night, research has shown — and the best time to use it might be when there is a full moon.

The free iPhone app monitors sleep patterns and plays carefully constructed sounds designed to evoke pleasant dreams.

Results of a new mass- participation experiment show that the “Dream:ON” download really does influence dreaming, helping people to sleep peacefully and wake up happy and refreshed.
