Pzizz: Coaching Your Life One Nap at a Time
There are many apps out there that promise to improve your life in one way or another, but it’s certainly not often that an app actually does so by getting inside your head and fundamentally altering your brainwaves. Relax, this isn’t some crazy brainwashing scheme. It’s the “life coaching” app Pzizz.
At its very core, Pzizz helps relax you into a sleep state, and once you’re there, helps you sleep better. This may seem silly, but there is much scientific evidence to support that napping, especially in the middle of the day, can help increase productivity and mood. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of complex science behind Pzizz – neuro-linguistic programming, binaural beats, sleep-state induction, etc. – but the great part is that it’s transparent. Once you find the settings you like, just click a button and Pzizz does its thing. And with all its dozens of sound effects, musical pieces, and vocal suggestions, you’ll literally never hear the same nap twice.
Pzizz currently offers two modules – “Energizer” and “Sleep.” The key difference between these is the amount of sleep you get. The Energizer module will create a refreshing nap that wakes you up after a defined period of time, anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and a half, with a gentle alarm. The Sleep module generates a different soundscape designed to help you drift into a deeper sleep state and stay there for a full night’s sleep, so it doesn’t wake you up.
I’ve been using both Pzizz modules for a few months now, and I have to say, they really have helped me. I’m not an insomniac, but the Sleep module has certainly helped me get to sleep faster and easier, and the morning after using the Sleep module, I wake up more gently. The Energizer naps are great as well, and even when I don’t actually fall asleep, a quick 20- or 30-minute session is a great rest, and I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start on more work.
Sure, Pzizz may seem hokey to some people, but there’s really no reason not to give it a try. There’s a trial here, so check it out – if you like what you get, leave a comment on this post, because thanks to our friend Edward Laing at Brainwave Limited, we’re giving away two Energizer module licenses for Pzizz. If you’re not one of the lucky ones, Pzizz is $29.95 for the Energizer module and $29.95 for the Sleep module, but it’s well worth it.
Ooo, I wouldn’t mind the energizer module! I’ve got the sleep one already.
I’d like the energizer module.
My friend has pzizz and she let me listen to it and I love it. Too bad I can’t afford to get it right now I’m out of work. I guess I’ll keep borrowing her iPod (which she might kill me for if I take it for to long). But pzizz is great.
This would *seriously* help out my wife, who’s expecting our second baby any day now and is having a difficult time sleeping.
Sounds really cool. My girlfriend would love that for at college. Napping really does increase productivity.
I’d love to get one !
@Damien
Believe it or not, I’ve actually heard that the sleep module, minus the voice, is really helpful in getting babies to sleep as well, and I can believe it. You should give it a try!
I’d like the Prizz Energizer
Might as well try.
Zzzzzzz,
I’d love the license to 
I haven’t had a good nap for a while. Can I get one of the modules?
For those of you who are students, Pzizz is offering you a $20.00 discount on each module, bringing down the price to just $9.95. To sweeten the deal more, they also have a student affiliation program meaning for every classmate you refer will give you $5.00 commission for every module they purchase.

Like the author, I have used the sleep module since obtaining it from Edward @ the recent MWSF ‘07. It helps to sleep and rest better during those exams/midterms days. I highly recommend it.
cool. maybe I’ll sleep better.
Hmm, I’ve read about this app forever, and I have yet to try it. I have real trouble sleeping until I’m so completely exhausted, maybe it’s time to give it a go. Hopefully my wife can deal with this experiment
I go to sleep late enough that I fall asleep instantly but this is still a really cool app, even though I’m not sure if it works.
I’d love to have one.
This is certainly an interesting concept. I’d love to try it out.
With statements like “neuro-linguistic programming, binaural beats, sleep-state induction”, how could I not give it a try?
wow, i’d like to have them both
Who couldn’t do with some extra energy?
Pzizz – The modern way to fall asleep…
Every people need to sleep to regain back their energy after doing so lot of works in a day. Some people can fall asleep easily but some of them can’t get into sleep and need to drink warm milk or maybe counting sheep like you saw in one of Mr Be…
i would love the sleep license!
I think your blog is so nice.So I impressed your beautiful expression.I just bookmarked you…keep up the good work!!!!
