  • Summary

  • 7 audio-guided sessions.

    By now you know that getting enough sleep is one of the fundamental keys to overall health and well-being. But, achieving optimal shuteye and truly winding down at night are skills that few seem to have mastered.

    Aaptiv’s Sleep Better program includes seven classes led by meditation and mindfulness expert Jade Alexis. On day one of the program you’ll begin with ten minutes of relaxation and focus on your breath. As the week progresses you’ll graduate to a 30-minute session and incorporate techniques that train your body to release tension and prepare for deep sleep including breathwork, body scans, and yoga nidra - a type of meditative state achieved before sleep.

    This program is designed to be taken as many times through as you wish and can be referred back to as often as you need.

    Please note: all Aaptiv audio-fitness programs, including those in your Audible library, will become unavailable after Sept 5, 2019.

most stressful guided meditation.

too many quick variation of background noises. the breathing exercises are going too fast.
the lady speaks in a stressful and quick way instead of being assertive and calming.
this gave me more anxiety than what I started with

It's a great sleep aid, but the voice :(

The aid helped me sleep, but I had to get used to the voice for this one. Not a good fit.

Did the opposite

Not sure what they were thinking the music is way too fast, and changes every minute. And the voice is horrible, she is too stern and talks too fast and too loud. If being aggressively talked to sleep is your thing this is perfect but the rest of us not so much. I want a soothing relaxing voice to lull me to sleep.

Puts me to sleep, meditation that clears stresses.

Sometimes going to sleep really is difficult. You think about your day and then suddenly remember things that you've forgotten. The more you have tackle during your day, the more difficult the sleep. This meditation based series really gets you to get to clear the table that is your mind.

Yikes, so choppy and narrator sounding agitated

I thought I had to listen to believe it. kinda like a boot camp style. It sounds like its A I talking, not a real voice.
