I’ve been using the app “Relax Melodies” for years and it has saved me from the occasional bout of insomnia numerous times.
When I started using it, it was just a sleep mix app, but it was the best one I found. The app contains a collection of sounds (thunder, ocean waves, rain on a tent, ect.) which can be combined to create the atmosphere and sound you want. You can save all the mixes you make, so I have more than 15 of them. My two favorite mixes I’ve created are the sound of a distant thunderstorm while rain falls on a tent and a campfire at night, complete with the sounds of frogs and owls.
Shortly after installing, I paid for the next level up (at the time it was $2.99 and never expires), which unlocked all sounds. I found the money definitely worth it, especially since new sounds are added fairly often.
Meditations were added fairly recently. For the level I have, almost all meditations are locked, and I’m not willing to pay more for all of them because I’m not really into meditation. These meditations range from life coaching to meditations for commuting. I can’t say how effective any of them are considering that I can only access a few of the introductory meditations, but the idea of a meditation designed for commuting is really intriguing, since it’s not recommended to listen to those kinds of things while driving.
I definitely say the app is well worth downloading on the free level. If you do have a lot of trouble sleeping like I used to, I would really recommend the second tier. I have certainly discovered some soft and sublime sounds that have led to many a sweet dream.
