Nigella Lawson Solves Insomnia With iPhone

Nigella in cake form, by Paul Harvey

Everyone’s favorite yummy mummy and sleb chef, Nigella Lawson, has just “succumbed” (as she puts it), and bought herself an iPhone.

To store recipes, perhaps? No.

To take photos of her magnificent meals and upload them to the net? No.

To Twitter her celebrity lifestyle to fellow celeb Twitterers? No.

No, none of these. It turns out that Nigella’s fave app is White Noise, which she uses to lull herself to sleep.

Says La Lawson:

“Since I’ve been insomniac pretty much from childhood on, I’m grateful for anything that takes the stress out of those lonely wakeful hours, and even more ecstatic to find something that actually sends me off on mornings when I wake unhelpfully at two, three or four.”

It turns out that White Noise has quite an impressive range of sounds to choose from, including Hair Drier, Vacuum Cleaner, and ticking Grandfather Clock. And I’m not kidding about the Vacuum Cleaner.

Back to Nigella. Right at the end of her post, she teases us with:

“I rather feel an App coming on myself.”

Ah. That’ll be the recipes, then.
