WHAT THIS MEDITATION AND SLEEP APP DOES:
Headspace teaches you how to meditate, breathe, and live mindfully. It’s even been proven to improve focus. There are exercises on topics including managing anxiety, stress relief, breathing, happiness, and focus. Don’t worry if you’ve never meditated before. There’s a free Basics course that will teach you the essentials of meditation and mindfulness.
As part of the Sleep by Headspace experience, there are sleep meditations, sleep sounds, and specially-designed sleepcasts to guide you to a place of rest. Sleep by Headspace was built around the needs of restless sleepers so the screen is darker and the buttons are easy to find. After all, no one wants to look at a bright screen at night. It’s perfect whether you have trouble falling asleep, or you wake up in the middle of the night.

User Reviews :
- If you’re like us, you need all the help you can get turning rare quiet moments into true meditation. Headspace’s rich, accessible lessons gently explore how to improve mindfulness. Oh, and we love how Headspace’s Apple Watch app lets you hit a literal panic button when extra-stressful situations arise.
- I’m a speech language pathologist and love this this app for both personal use and as a recommendation to patients. A growing body of research is showing correlations between practicing meditation and better health outcomes for individuals recovering from traumatic brain injury. I’ve used this app with mTBI patients and it’s been a quick and easy way to add meditation to their therapy regiment. They find it easy to implement. Andy is a fantastic guide and a huge part of what makes the app more than a tool – it’s like being taken on a personal, scaffolded journey into the world of meditation. He’s kind, generous yet simultaneously specific and full of helpful feedback – these a qualities that are rare and can’t be manufactured. As a result, my only recommendation is in regards to the upbeat female host who they’ve recently added guiding recording of. I find her energy overwhelmingly upbeat, energetic and even annoying. Patients and colleagues have shared similar feedback. It would be unfortunate for a patient to try a meditation with this host once and decide against future use. I am sure there are other great potential hosts out there – this particular host just starkly contrasts the ‘brand-like qualities’ I’ve come to associate with this app and why I have recommended it to many patients.
