Startup creates streaming service to help people fall asleep

The events of recent months have caused many people to spend their nights tossing and turning, getting far too little shut-eye. If there was ever a time to start a business that helps people fall asleep, it’s now.

Enter Restflix, a Lakewood Ranch-based streaming service that offers relaxing, sleep-inducing video content. The company, launched in July, has an app and is available on Google Play, Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV. Users can select specific content or watch more than 20 channels that play calming videos and music.
