Stress

I’ve coped with insomnia for as long as I can remember. It got much worse about 10 years ago with big life changes and a hormonal transition. I usually get enough sleep two or three times a week and a full night’s sleep only once a month.  Since trying this meditation app, I’ve had good sleep EVERY night for the past 19 nights. I don’t remember a time in my life that I slept this consistently. I feel like my night-life has done a 180 degree turn and now I can count on good sleep and might occasionally suffer a night of insomnia. Scientifically that’s a significant outcome. Personally, it’s a game changer.

The app is Synctuition. It’s marketed as a meditation app. I find it more passive than other meditation practices. Its difficult to describe the experience, but it’s like a power nap, while on a beach vacation plus a sound-bath! They call their meditations “journeys” and each day is a progression to a new journey. There are currently 100 journeys available and an additional 20 in the works. Journeys are 25 minutes of binaural beats in 3D with nature sounds, one instrument and some soft chanting in a variety of languages. It sounds busy, but it all comes together for a deeply relaxing experience.  Somewhere around the halfway point I drift off to another dimension. I come back to earth about 5 minutes after it ends feeling super relaxed. Science explains this experience as a lowering of the heart rate through the ignition of the parasympathetic nervous system. This leads to a deep relaxation state, which encourages lower breathing, hence maximizing the quality of a good night’s sleep.

I never realized an app could change my life. They call it a MindSpa and I agree! I’m so excited by it, that I became an affiliate and I plan to share it with my insomnia patients as a behavioral tool. Also good for anxiety, stress and depression. I think it would make a great addition to acupuncture sessions and am considering turning the treatment room into a sound bath experience. I give Synctuition five stars and I wish I could give it more than that!
