Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use headphones for sleep meditation?

Headphones can enhance the experience but are not required. If you use them, choose comfortable ones designed for sleeping, or place your phone on your nightstand with the volume low.

What if I fall asleep before the meditation ends?

That's the goal! The audio will stop automatically when the timer ends. Falling asleep during the session means it's working perfectly.

How long should a sleep meditation be?

A 10-15 minute session is ideal for sleep. It's long enough to guide you through relaxation but not so long that it keeps you awake. This session uses 15 minutes with rain sounds.
