Talking Tech: Last app you open before sleep?

VENICE BEACH, Calif. — We use smartphone apps all day to check the weather, take photos, catch up on the news and find love. But what's the last app we look at every day before we close our eyes?

For Steph Jackson of Seattle, the choice is easy: Hautelook, (free; Apple, Android) the Nordstrom fashion app offering daily discounts.

Reason: sweet thoughts through the night.

"I dream of shoes," she says. "A room filled with shoes that are all mine, that are all my size."

For David Brozzis of Portofino, Italy, his last app is the dating website Tinder (free; Apple and Android), the one that matches men and women based on their photos. He likes to look at pictures before he goes to bed? "Of course," he says.

Valerie Wasveiler of Los Angeles likes Medium, the iPhone app from a Twitter co-founder that offers personal essays.

"It's people writing stories about their lives," she says. "It gives you a good perspective on things going on in the world."

Interesting fodder, but what could be beat waking up to tons of likes?

For Jae Beas of Long Beach, Calif., and surely thousands others like her, that app would be Instagram, the photo sharing app for Apple, Android and Windows.

"I post a picture, go to sleep, wake up, check my likes," he says. Sometimes that can be in the hundreds, which, she says, "makes me feel a little loved."
