Having barely slept in January and struggling to get back into a pattern of having several hours sleep in one go, waking up groggy and disinterested in life as a result. In the beginning of March I decided to buy an iPhone app to monitor my sleep (or lack of), something that I would say I was quite pessimistic about to start with but would the app have any effect?

Why I Would Choose Android OS over iPhone OS

Back in January I renewed my mobile contract and got a HTC Desire HD smartphone with the android operating system.
