Thanks to this brain-sensing meditation device, I'm calmer and sleeping great
Muse
I've tried lots of things: giving up caffeine (that was hard!), giving up alcohol (even harder), getting up at 5:30 a.m. to work out (brutally, insanely hard).
My latest trick has been easy, fun and unbelievably effective: I've been using a brain-sensing device called Muse to meditate for 12 minutes a night right before I go to sleep.
Mediating is when you turn off your thoughts - stop worrying about the future, or fretting about the past - and concentrate on the real world around you, such as how your breath feels as it enters and exits your body.
While, there are lots of documented health benefits to reducing stress through meditation, Muse isn't making claims as insomnia-curing device. I started using it for this by accident. I tried it before bed one day, and was so relaxed, I fell right to sleep. For the past three weeks of using it, I've slept great.
