Lay down your head, and put your mind to rest. The night is inviting you to sleep deeply tonight, my love, so you can awaken to a new, fresh beginning tomorrow morning. Where the weight of today has vanished and anything is possible.

I noticed I'm really tense, particularly late at night, and I think this session helped me relax. I also think that my breathing was very unsteady, since it was very late and I was having a bit of insomnia. The session helped me eventually slow my breathing and chill out.

I need eight hours of sleep. I only woke up once in the middle of the night which is an improvement.
Once in the middle of the night which is an improvement. My neck is stiff. I don’t like being asked to write more - I’m not a wordy person in the morning. This is all you get.

I eventually fell asleep towards the end of the track. Found it difficult to sleep next to Bill again. Will probably sleep in separate beds when we get back home.

Prefer not to hear again
I don’t like the sound of this music. Meditation didn’t work for me.

No thanks
I don’t like the narrator’s voice. It sounds cheesy, and I don’t like her calling me “my love”.

I don’t like talking. I just want ambient music. Water is fine.
I learned I don’t need the coaching. Just sound. I found I was waiting for the voice and it became distracting.

Mind racing
My first time using Aura to help me sleep. Day 1 of 25 sleep program. I tried so hard to focus on not thinking about other things I thought about them more. Wasn’t asleep at the end. Will keep trying though.

Worrying thoughts
I noticed that it takes a little while for my worrying thoughts to calm down and that it takes more than the time of the guided meditations to get past them. Sudden urges to do other things that have themselves “gone to sleep” constantly arise. It’s going to take a bit for this practice to work.

Very Sleepy
I was able to relax and fall asleep while listening to the meditation exercise.

Saturday Night, January 8, 2022, while listening to the exercise, my busy mind was able to settle don enough to get sleepy and fall asleep.
I learned that substituting something pleasant to interrupt my thought process allowed my body to relax and fall off to sleep. Looking forward to tonight’s session.

First Session
I learned that substituting pleasant speech and instrumental backgrounds allowed my busy thoughts to become interrupted and settle down to a relaxed state and fall asleep. Looking forward to tonight’s session.

Cleansing!
An amazing mediation that gets right deep down! I love this one when I am feeling very overwhelmed sometimes because it resets my body for a new day! Such a powerful message soothing voice and it makes you feel so good about yourself after!!!

Slept well
I definitely had no trouble falling asleep and only woke up once, which afterwards, I was able to fall back asleep pretty easily, without the usual struggle of feeling hot and uncomfortable.

1st time using sleep program
I fell asleep quick and don’t remember waking up until sometime early morning (it was still dark out). I kept the app on all night and it probably took 5-10 min to fall asleep again until my alarm clock

Day 1
I was able to settle down after feeling restless. I woke up once, replayed meditation and was able to go back to sleep for the rest of the night.

It wasn't very helpful. All meditations seem and sound the same..
Not much other than every session is practically the same just with changed words

First time using Aura
I’m still feeling restless, but I know I need to improve by whole night time routine in order to feel relaxed. It’s a work in progress and this is the first step.

Day 1 - Sleep Meditation
My allergies had flared up, so I wasn’t feeling well and was struggling to sleep. I listened to this track and felt more relaxed and ready for sleep. I think with daily use, my sleep will get even better. The background music/sounds are very soothing to me.

I tried…but failed to stay asleep.
I listened & was only able to sleep an hour. Unfortunately will have to return to sleep medicine…
