Meditation for Sleep

Kevin Cador

- £0.99

Description

This breathing technique is designed to put you to sleep in less than 60 seconds.

With this app, we aim to give you a simple and fast tool to practice this breathing technique.

Launch the app, start breathing...
- Inhale for 4 seconds through your nose
- Hold your breath for a count of 7
- Exhale for 8 seconds through your mouth
- Repeat

It can be used to help you fall asleep but it's also useful to calm yourself down.

I like it!

Really enjoying using this app. The minimal design is very much to my taste plus it talks to the Health app. I also like that you can either have it announce the instructions or just look at the display / feel the haptic touches with no sound.

My enhancement requests would be:
- 1 a configurable daily reminder function and
- 2 an iOS 14 widget that I can tap “1 minute” (for example) and go straight into a breath.

Not sure how this can be classed as a meditation for sleep...

...when you have to hold your phone and stare at the screen to keep count. Unless you expect people to fall asleep holding onto their phones??? Was expecting some kind of spoken/guided meditation, counting you through the breaths, given that it’s marketed as a sleep meditation app. Not worth the £0.99 right now.
