Effective

The 7th of the sleep lesfons has been very effective, but moving through the first part and genuinely focusing is necessary.

Relaxing

couldn't finish. I was asleep in 5 . Exactly what I needed it to do.

Relaxing, despite narrator

Great meditation, I always fall asleep before it ends. The narrator is pretty bad. Buy this is still helpful.

Weird

The music was so weird that I couldn’t sleep and I stayed up for half the night because of that music.

Did not help me relax or fall asleep.

Liked background music. Did not like approach. Sounded to me like a list of orders to follow. Instruction “do not move” make me want to move. It is like being told not to visualize a white bear.

Not for me

The voice was not relaxing. it was more like giving you orders. Background music was distracting.

Probably a wakeup meditation

Of the seven episodes of Sleep Better, this episode, A Tranquil State: Meditation, was probably the most unbearable. The background music was panicky and miles away from relaxing.

In this episode, Jade says to think of kidneys being still then intestines, then spleen. She also says to feel the blood. Sorry, but I can't. May be some might enjoy this kind of imagination, it was truly stressful for me, specially at bedtime. Listening to this episode I became so alert and stressed, I literally had to play 6 other relaxing audio books of bedtime stories and sounds to be able to even relax. I do not seem to enjoy or relax with Jade's meditations.
