Not a cure but a helpful tool
I've had LIFELONG insomnia, managed mostly with meds. I also work in sleep medicine so i know a lot about sleep and have pretty good sleep hygiene. I've tried meditation for years and usually have an opposite response (Blame ADD). I can feel myself getting stressed as I'm "emptying" my mind. I faired better with guided meditation, but often I'd fall asleep just to wake up seconds later because some distracting pan flute would come on. This product let's me avoid that. It's blessedly silent. It's not too bright. If you get distracted it's no big deal, you pick up on the next cycle. Watching the blue light ebb and flow is relaxing and I don't have to turn it off and when I feel sleepy I can just close my eyes and go to sleep. I don't have to envision any fluffy clouds. This is a very useful part of any isomniac's arsenal. It's also super portable and wouldn't disturb a bed partner.
