Pzizz - A truly original application

Steven @ Sat, 2006-05-20 18:09

Pzizz is one of those truly original pieces of software. Designed as a audio relaxation tool, it aims to maximise the benefits obtained from napping. Not to be consruted as new age, it combines Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP, or suggestive thoughts), and binaural beats which operate to induce the optimum brain-wave cycle for resting. You can download a 60 minute trial for both Windows and Mac.

Growing research indicates that an afternoon nap is beneficial for health and productivity. Indeed, an afternoon siesta is common in a number of European countries, and a frequently discovered trait in well-known individuals (Beethoven, Da Vinci, Dali, Einstein, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, Napoleon Bonaparte, Johannes Brahms, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher). 

This all sounds great, but at the end of the day you just want to know if it works. The general consensus of user reviews [1, 2] is that it does, and very well at that. From personal experience, I think it's great. The naps I've taken while using it have made me feel more refreshed than usual.
