Calm

“Any meditation practice first thing in the morning. It’s grounding and now it feels necessary to me. I use the Daily Calm but anything works. Just 10 minutes of quiet breathing.”

“The collection of sleep stories for kids is pretty wide-ranging & effective. My 7-year old’s favorite is Frenchy, about a suburban French bulldog lost in Paris, read by Wanda Sykes. My 11-year-old loves Humphrey, a fancy tuxedo cat, who does travel travelogues of cities all over the world. Mama Bear is read by Maya Rudolph. Yawny McDawny stories never fail at helping them fall asleep quickly. I use yoga nidras on Waking Up, but these are great for the kids”

“The best way to do it”

“I have used this app for sleep for several years now. Some favorites: Deep Sleep body scans (with rain sounds) with Tamara Levitt Rainy Paris Night - city sounds, church bells, soft rain. Terms of Service where a guy literally reads the terms of service of the app in such a soothing way?”
