Pzizz is a Mac and Windows software application that generates random soundtracks which help you regain your energy or sleep better at night.
Great for the home worker
During the day the pzizz energizer module will clear your mind, deeply relaxes you, and leave you feeling rested and energized. The sleep mode helps you relax you and clear your mind so you can ease into deep, calm sleep.
I’ve only tried the energizer mode so far. I’m a WAHM (work at home mom) and have used pzizz during that mid-afternoon lull – around 2 p.m. – when I’m fried from working on the computer all morning.
What’s very cool about the product is that I can customize it for my needs. I can change the voice/music balance, eliminate the voice over, or only have it during the beginning and end. Also, I can change the length of my nap or the alarm delay.
Best of all pzizz works with iTunes. Once I’ve made my custom sleep, energizer or meditation soundtrack, I can export it into iTunes and download it to my iPod. Love that! Downloading the software and exporting to iTunes was very easy. However, it does take awhile to export a pzizz track to iTunes, sort of like when you download a one hour TV program. The pzizz website also provides great support and screencasts on how to use it. Try a free download.
Use pzizz at home or while traveling
You can use pzizz for a power nap at the office. Or try it on your commute home in the van pool, bus or train. (Warning: do not listen to pzizz while driving!)
pzizz is also terrific for traveling. I’ve listened to meditation podcasts on flights before to help me sleep, but they were never long enough. With pzizz that’s not a problem. Just download a few sleep soundtracks on your iPod of varying lengths depending on your flight. The maximum length is one hour, so do a series of sleep tracks if you're flight is longer. Also, you may want to download some energizer soundtracks as well to pep you up just before landing as well as to use during your trip. Try a free download.
pzizz is great for parents, too
Here are pzizz’s top five tips on how to squeeze in a power nap while your children take their naps:
- Make sure you understand how much you deserve this “time out.”
- Use pzizz as often as possible so that your subconscious becomes accustomed to it and you are able to nap quickly and effectively.
- Make yourself nice and comfortable so that relaxation is easy
- Enjoy your “time out.” Make the most of your own time and let go of all the stresses of the day
- Make sure others understand what you are doing and how important it is for you ESPECIALLY your children!
Remember a relaxed, happy parent is a good parent.
pzizz makes a great gift
This is a great gift for a new mom, a work at home freelancer, an office worker, a college student or anyone who is stressed out and needs to sleep better.
(Bosses: this would make a great holiday gift for everyone in your office as well as your clients. We all want happy employees and customers, don’t we?)
The pzizz bundle (both the sleep and energizer modules) is $39.95. You can order online and they email you the instructions on how to download it. If you’re giving it as a gift, you could copy and past it into an ecard or email.
If you prefer, pzizz also comes as a box set for $49.95. Each additional box set is 30% off, but remember there are shipping/handling services, too.
