My daughter has the best bedtime ritual, in that she likes to read. I have found the joy of E-Readers by simply downloading my first book on the Kobo app on my PlayBook. Like I needed a reason to keep my PlayBook near, I now use it more than ever. I just downloaded my fourth book on my Kobo app. YEA PLAYBOOK!

My BlackBerry 9930 and its wonderful BBOS 7 BEDSIDE MODE (sorry kevin) helps me stay asleep without interruption, I am also able to wake up using my own music (Rovin' Gambler - Dierks Bentley) using the alarm function that hasn't failed me yet.

Found a great app for my PlayBook and Dev Alpha (of course works on Z10s also) called RelaxBook Nature. It's a free app that makes 10 different soothing sounds to help you sleep or meditate. This free app is an intro to the company's other paid apps which are also nice, BUT this one is all you need!!!! Here's a link to the webstore....

BlackBerry World - RelaxBook Nature

I am a semipro mountain biker. Unfortunately, I have asthma. Not only do I use my playbook's calendar to remind me to use my inhaler, I also use the plethora of fitness tracking apps to keep track of my jogging (cross training), use of my spinning machine, and my calorie intake.


I also use it to watch videos about how to ski better.

At night I usually use my BB to listen to a motivational or spiritual podcast I have downloaded during the day. I also use my Playbook and BB to access the FitBit mobile website to see my sleep results from the night before. I am hoping FitBit will come out with a BB10/Playbook app real soon!

Today I signed up for a health coach!!!! Now I know this is not exactly rest related, but maybe. The coach will call me several times over the next year to discuss diet, and other health issues. I'm sure rest and stress management are going to be among the topics we talk about since I have high blood pressure.

I use with the website mapmyrun.com

I find the best way is to sit back on the couch and play games on my playbook

I would like to workout with my White Z10 when AT&T gets it in North Carolina

I use y 64gb playbook to play some thunderstorm music that I had downloaded. The speakers are perfect because they put out just the right amount of sound to help me sleep and not wake me up. I also have tv shows like the walking dead scheduled in my phone with a new resting yoga pose to use while watching. This helps me relax while also stretching my muscles to help me get a good night sleep!

Music bedside while sleeping

Car dock plus some good tunes!

I make sure naps are no longer or shorter than 90 minutes so that you wake up at the best part of your sleep cycle. Sleep calculator is a great app to help figure out when you should wake up to optimize your day!
