BrainWave: 37 Binaural Series™

I don’t know how many years I have had this app but I can say that I have used it frequently over the past 3 years. I have the most miserable and debilitating insomnia, and I know so many people have this as well. By the second or third night of waking at 1:30-2:00 AM and never returning to sleep, my day functioning is wrecked. Since truly utilizing binaural beats, I keep my phone and watch in another room charging on silent and only use this from my ipad so no alerts, vibrations, etc disrupt me. I set it on any of the sleep settings that I’m desiring -typically deep vs dreamy- I have it plugged in for battery life and I use direct line ear plugs since no battery concerns, it goes straight in my brain and muffles any other environmental noises. I also, in this state of early morning desperation, add an eye mask to also block out all ambient light. Success! Somehow, this auditory stimulation eventually shuts down the committee meeting going on in my head at this time and enables me to fall asleep! So much appreciation!! Also, I love the feature that it wakes me gently with a change in vibrations in the time frame I set. AMAZING! This is primarily what I have used the app for but one addition is that no matter how fatigued I am, I have never been able to nap but quite frankly almost never desire to. But, on the occasions in the past few years that I have the luxury of an hour to rest when I desperately need it, the nap setting is also fantastic. I either fall asleep and wake up exactly in the designated time frame or at least it brings me to a theta state with transition to full alertness as needed. I haven’t used the other settings but can’t rave enough about this app improving my sanity and daily function! Thank you!

This thing blows my mind! The first time I used it I was like "No way!" As I kept using it I discovered that it is literally the only way I am able to fall asleep nights when my mind is so full of thoughts and my anxiety is running rampant! I hate the way sleep aids make me feel like I've been run over by a freight train. I recently switched from using "Deep Sleep" to "Dreamy Sleep" and had the craziest dreams! I normally can't remember my dreams and I was actually able to recall quite a bit of them. Unfortunately last night, I dreamt that I faked the death of my dog last year and I felt like it lasted the whole night so I think I'll be switching back to "Deep Sleep" :( Awesome product though. My *only* complaint is that I wish there were more ambiance options or the ability to use it with Pandora. You can use your own music but I don't have much personal music on my phone so I am limited to using the app's ambiance tracks and they get old after a while. Highly recommend!

I've had this app on my phone for sometime, with the intention of using it as an aid for parasympathetic body work. I finally started using it yesterday. I've been listening to it now for a few hours (Deep Relaxation with Peace background), and so far I'm impressed with how well it works. I typically feel overwhelmed by the numerous things that need to be accomplished, which leaves me feeling anxious and rushed. This particular combo has really helped me to slow down today and not feel so uptight, which sadly, is not easily accomplished. I use other modalities to shift my body into parasympathetic mode, but I can't seem to stay there. This program seems to be helping dampen down triggers that cause my body to shift into sympathetic state inappropriately. I look forward to trying the other programs. I hope the results are as impressive and useful. Even if they aren't, the results I'm experiencing today made downloading this app one of the best tools I've acquired to step away from the perpetual, health destroying, running myself ragged mindset that our culture has ingrained in us.
