What this meditation and sleep app does:
○The Headspace meditation app teaches you how to breathe, sleep, meditate, and live mindfully. These guided breathing exercises have even been proven to improve focus. There are mindfulness trainings on everything from managing anxiety, stress relief, breathing, happiness, feeling calm, and finding 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 training.

In the Sleep by Headspace experience, you’ll find guided meditations for sleep, relaxing music and sounds for sleep, various sleep melodies and music, and specially-designed sleepcasts to relax your mind. Guided sleep meditation 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 if you have trouble falling asleep, or if you wake up in the middle of the night.
