To Fall Asleep… Just click ‘Play’

Technological gap it seems has not only come to distinguish the tech savvy from the silliterate, but also the insomniacs from the well rested. With ever increasing lineup of gadgets and influx of applications that only claim more and more of our eyeball time, sleep deprivation seems to be the order of the day.

Alarmingly this harmful trend is affecting the adults and children alike. Warnings about the blue light emanating from the screens keeping us from falling asleep, or about radiation being harmful have only done so much in making us turn off our smartphones, tabs and computers.

Enter Napflix

A new streaming service that has taken it upon itself to lull its viewers to sleep has been launched this week. Armed with a host of 'monotonous' and 'repetitive' videos that promise to make you snooze 'NapFlix' guarantees to fix your naps!

The USP here is to bore you to sleep! With video footages that are two to three hours long the menu includes un-enticing and sleep inducing titles such as -
