How Neera's Vibroacoustic Bed Helps You Fall Asleep Faster"If you sleep this way, you wouldn't want to sleep another way.”When Igor said this, I had to go and try out the Neera bed myself, and afterward I interviewed Igor about the innovative science and technology behind Neera. It is a device designed to improve sleep through vibrational frequencies and personalized algorithms. In our conversation we explore how this technology can transform sleep quality and overall well-being.Topics:* Science of vibrational frequencies and sleep* Personalized algorithms for sleep optimization* Acoustic and mechanical engineering in sleep devices* The role of frequencies in regulating nervous system and chakras* User experience and self-reporting in sleep tech* Future developments in vibrational sleep technologyTimestamps:* 0:33 Who Igor is and what Neera does* 1:19 Why he built it: devices measure, apparatuses act* 2:57 Why sleep is the highest-leverage longevity target* 4:05 “See how it feels” and the phrase that sold it* 5:30 Where standard sleep advice runs out* 6:32 The mechanism: frequencies through touch, not ears* 9:48 Do solfeggio frequencies and brainwaves connect?* 11:24 Making 2 Hz on a mattress without a giant speaker* 12:38 Composing a state, and AI programs on request* 15:02 Personalization: wearables, self-reporting, onboard sensors* 17:23 Nina's session, and the cat purr program* 20:12 Chakra frequencies and the 96% blind test* 21:54 Inside the mattress: actuators and waveguides* 24:57 Validating with EEG and the cost of clean sleep research* 27:05 Day programs vs night programs* 28:43 Who it works best for: athletes, NSDR, day reboots* 29:58 Sleep inertia and the 3am wake-up* 32:53 Catching micro-wakeups and returning you to sleep* 35:06 The first week, and napping vs the 20-minute program* 39:12 Hardest part: hardware or software?* 41:15 The one non-responder* 42:09 Launch & Founders ClubABOUT IGOR:Igor is the co-founder of Neera.

Episode Description: You are probably taking melatonin wrong and it is almost certainly not your fault. Most people take it like a sleeping pill every night, wake up groggy, and eventually need more and more to get the same effect. That is not a melatonin deficiency. That is melatonin being used for something it was never designed to do at a dose your body would never produce on its own. The amount of melatonin your brain actually releases at night is about 3 tenths of 1 milligram. Your gummy says 10. The research is humbling and the label may not even be accurate. Researchers tested 30 melatonin products off store shelves and found the real content ranged from 83% below the label to nearly five times above it. In roughly one out of four products they found serotonin, a compound that was not listed on the label at all. In this episode, you will learn: •  Why melatonin is a timing hormone and not a sedative, what it is actually designed to do in the body, and why taking a giant dose expecting to be knocked unconscious was never how it works •  Whether long term melatonin use shuts down your body's own production, why the answer is no, and what the real risks actually are •  Why Dr. G never raises the dose when a patient says melatonin has stopped working, what he does instead, and the specific scenarios where melatonin is genuinely the right tool Plus the warning every parent needs to hear before giving melatonin to a child. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn't an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

There's something about a warm summer night that just makes it easier to let go... fireflies drifting, crickets humming, that particular stillness in the air once the heat of the day has finally broken. In this one, I walk you down a quiet stone path into a hidden clearing, somewhere just for you, where you can set everything down and finally rest.It's slow and a little dreamlike, best enjoyed lying down with the lights off. If summer nights have always felt peaceful to you, or if you just need to borrow that feeling tonight, I made this one with you in mind.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Sink into peaceful sleep with the soothing sound of gentle ocean waves rolling onto the shore. These calming sleep sounds create the perfect atmosphere for deep relaxation, stress relief, meditation, and natural sleep. Simply press play, breathe deeply, and let the ocean carry you away for 3-hours. Love,

Your sleep is not “just sleep.When nights get choppy, it is easy to blame stress, age, or bad luck. I see something else again and again: small, fixable habits that keep people stuck in a tired and wired loop, then they wonder why they wake up at 3 a.m. with a brain that will not shut off.I walk you through 3 specific, practical sleep protocols I use personally and with clients to improve sleep quality fast.Yoga Nidra (also called NSDR), a simple brain dump journaling practice, finally, we get concrete about nutrition for sleep: what to eat for dinner to sleep through the night like a baby.If you struggle with insomnia, racing thoughts at bedtime, frequent wake-ups, or early morning waking, this is a one-week experiment I'd recommend. Listen, try the three-step routine tonight, then share this with a friend who needs better sleep and leave a review so more people can find the tools.What is the biggest thing ruining your sleep right now?Yoga Nidra: https://youtu.be/M0u9GST_j3s?si=W_gIDXa-auRwSGwCText Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

This calming bedtime meditation helps children relax deeply through gentle breathing, mindfulness, and peaceful relaxation techniques designed to encourage sleep. Perfect for restless nights, bedtime anxiety, stress relief, and falling asleep faster. Love,

If your body simply will not switch off tonight, if you are lying there with your jaw clenched, shoulders up by your ears, and a racing mind that just won't settle, this session was built for exactly this moment.In tonight's episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin guides you through a deeply soothing Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) session. Designed specifically to ease nighttime anxiety, this classic tense-and-release body scan sends a powerful message of safety to your nervous system, slowing down your heart rate and allowing your whole system to transition into a state of deep, restorative sleep.If you struggle to fall asleep, find yourself tossing and turning, or wake up in the night with anxious thoughts, let this guided sleep meditation be your ultimate bedtime ritual. Turn down the noise of the day, uncurl your thoughts, and allow yourself to drift away into a peaceful, healing rest.Enjoying the show? Don't forget to hit Follow so tomorrow's session finds you automatically! If this practice brings you comfort, please share it on your social media to help others find their calm.⏱️ Time Chapters00:00 – Cold Intro & Channel Welcome Meet your host, Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist and former Paramedic), and settle in for tonight's deep rest practice.01:06 – Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Body Scan A guided, physical wind-down from your feet to your face, contrasting tension and release to teach your body how to truly let go.04:48 – Deep Sleep Affirmations Calming bedtime affirmations repeated silently to help shift your brainwaves into a safe, deeply tranquil frequency.08:01 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Better Sleep Practical, science-backed lifestyle cues to lower your core temperature, clear mental clutter, and anchor your nervous system.09:18 – Outro & Community Call to Action A gentle fade-out with a reminder to protect your peace, share the gift of sleep, and be kind.

This one's basically a night out in the backyard, but way more relaxing... crickets chirping, that steady ancient hum they do, and a slow body scan laid right over top of it. You start at your feet and just work your way up, letting go of tension you didn't even know you were holding, until your face, your hands, everything just softens.It's less "fall asleep fast" and more "unwind completely," so it's great for anyone who needs to actually feel their body let go before their mind will follow.

Send us Fan MailRecently I've noticed a trend on nighttime videos about trivia or theories to help people fall asleep. As someone who watches media to go to sleep, this was a change in trends that I wanted to hop onto and experiment with. Since this is an experiment to work with there are some parts that stick out for how it was edited to be fixed. It just means next time will be a smoother process but nonetheless I'm proud of how this turned out. VIDEO VERSION - https://youtu.be/9g6uWFuhAiM?is=6otgSqcAEN8MMUGiIf you want to see more types of episodes like this, def let me know @thequeenofthescreen.And for now.

As the day draws to a close, there is no greater gift you can give your heart than to be reminded of the unchanging love of Jesus Christ. If your mind has been racing, your soul feels weary, or you've simply been longing for a place of quiet rest, I invite you to listen to this special episode of Grace Before Sleep. These aren't merely words intended to help you fall asleep—they are gentle reminders of who you already are in Christ and all that He has accomplished on your behalf. Find a comfortable place, take a deep breath, and allow the finished work of Jesus to become the final message your heart hears before you drift off to sleep. My prayer is that His grace will calm every anxious thought, silence every accusation, and fill your heart with the peace that only He can give. Simply press play, and let's end this day together resting in the unfailing love of our Savior.

A bonus episode from our friend Tyer Brown at Sleep Escape

Do you have trouble sleeping? An occasional late night or early morning is probably not dangerous, but too many people get too little sleep on a regular basis. How does that affect their health? Even more importantly, what can they do to change the situation? You'll want to listen to find out if you need a sleep reset. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment. How You Can Listen You could listen through your local public radio station or get the live stream at 7 am EST on Saturday, July 18, 2026, through your computer or smart phone (wunc.org). Here is a link so you can find which stations carry our broadcast. If you can't listen to the broadcast, you may wish to hear the podcast later. You can subscribe through your favorite podcast provider, download the mp3 using the link at the bottom of the page, or listen to the stream on this post starting on July 20, 2026. The podcast will be available on Monday (July 20, 2026) Do You Need a Sleep Reset? Why is sleep so important for good health? Our guest is a sleep medicine specialist who uses a metaphor of Disneyland. Crucial maintenance on the theme park happens at night, when there are no visitors. Streets are cleaned, flower beds are weeded, and rides are inspected and, if needed, repaired. None of that can happen while the park is open for business. Our bodies and brains also need time for maintenance and repair, and some of that happens while we are sleeping. When we don't get the rest we need, we may find ourselves at increased risk for diabetes, cardiovascular problems, cancer, cognitive challenges and even premature death. Unfortunately, anxiety about not sleeping can keep people awake all on its own. How can people break that cycle? We'll also discuss ways that people can get help avoiding screens at night. That is an important part of a sleep reset. Blue light from the screen signals the brain to be alert instead of relax. Scrolling social media can often be emotionally upsetting, which also makes it more difficult to fall asleep. Is Your Diet Keeping You Awake? Most of us recognize that a big midnight snack, á la Dagwood Bumstead of the Blondie comic, is probably not conducive to sleeping well. How does nighttime eating affect our circadian rhythm? Are there diets that we should avoid because of their impact on sleep? Dr. Seheult describes a study in which volunteers had their sleep stages monitored closely during the time they were consuming different diets (Obesity, July 2023). When they followed a high-fat, high-sugar diet, it disturbed the pattern of their brain waves during what should have been restorative sleep. How Do Sleep Problems Affect Eating Habits? A lot of us are aware that when we are sleep deprived, we are more inclined to become hangry and we may be less discerning about what we eat. A recent study shows that the sleep deprivation can have an effect even if it is fairly mild and short-term. Scientists recruited people who normally sleep seven to eight hours a night and asked them to stay up an extra hour and a half (Annals of Internal Medicine, July 7, 2026).  During the six weeks of that part of the experiment, people were less active during the day. They also ate more, so they gained about a pound, on average, during those six weeks. Presumably, disrupting sleep for a longer period of time would result in greater weight gain and metabolic disruption. Would a Ketogenic Diet Help with a Sleep Reset? A ketogenic diet, in which the body relies on ketones rather than glucose for energy production, may be helpful. In particular, fasting overnight for at least 14 hours helps the body do what it must during sleep time. To figure out when you should stop eating, identify when you usually start to feel sleepy. That should be your bedtime. Having your last meal of the day about three hours before that will generally offer enough time for digestion so that you don't experience reflux in the middle of the night. Morning Light and Afternoon Naps Your sleep reset may depend on getting your own circadian rhythm to synchronize with the rest of the world. That is where early exposure to morning light comes in. It's beginning to feel a bit like The People's Pharmacy is on repeat: get morning light exposure! It sets your system up for feeling awake and alert during the day and starting to feel sleepy as the light fades in the evening. Obviously, this is most helpful for people who work during daylight hours. Those working overnight shifts would have to organize their days differently. People who have trouble falling asleep may be tempted to take a nap in the afternoon to make up for the lost sleep. That could be a mistake, as it relieves the sleep pressure that helps people fall asleep without trying. Learning to Fall Asleep If you interact with parents of very young children, you may have heard of sleep training. People have strong feelings about this, both pro and con. Adults rarely need sleep training, though. What we are more likely to need is “not-sleeping un-training.” Too many people approach the bedroom as though it were a stage, and sleep is the performance. No wonder they may develop some performance anxiety about sleeping! Other individuals have learned to associate the bedroom with tossing, turning and watching the clock. Consequently, their bodies tense up instead of relaxing when they get between the sheets. There is no easy quick fix for this problem, but cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia has been proven effective for most people. How About PM Pain Relievers? Even though there isn't an easy fix for sleep troubles, many people want one. They reach for the PM pain reliever and hope it will offer them a good night's sleep without a prescription. The “PM” part of that pain reliever is an old-fashioned antihistamine called diphenhydramine. You might be more familiar with its brand name: Benadryl. You'll also find it in Tylenol PM, Advil PM and all the other PM meds because it tends to make people feel drowsy. What's wrong with that? To start with, it isn't clear that it remains effective after a week or two. In addition, people with restless leg syndrome often find that it makes their condition worse. Other folks report that diphenhydramine can result in an unpleasant “hangover” the next day, in which they feel drowsy though not asleep for a good part of their waking hours. What Wakes You Up at Night? If your sleep problem is waking in the wee hours and having trouble getting back to sleep, you should consider the possibility that you have sleep apnea. The REM sleep of those early morning hours is not as deep as some other sleep stages. Consequently, an alarm signal from your brain saying you haven't taken a breath for 20 or 30 seconds may be more likely to wake you. Sleep apnea may be treated by providing air so that the pressure props the collapsing airway open. We discuss this in greater detail along with a new alternative to a CPAP machine in the podcast for this week.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. This 3 hour guided sleep meditation is designed to help you overcome insomnia and enjoy deep, uninterrupted sleep. Perfect for anxiety, racing thoughts, and restless nights. Love,

Tonight marks the completion of our first week together. Over the past six days, we've explored awareness, letting go, acceptance, trust, compassion, and balance. These aren't simply ideas to understand—they are experiences to embody. In tonight's meditation, we'll reflect on the journey you've already taken and explore the theme of embodiment: allowing wisdom to move from the mind into the body and heart. You'll discover why neuroscience suggests lasting change happens through repetition and experience rather than insight alone, learn an ancient teaching about living wisdom rather than collecting it, and hear a relatable story about someone who spent years searching for peace before realizing it had been within them all along. As your body relaxes and your thoughts settle, you'll be invited to stop striving for growth and simply become the calm you've been practicing. Perfect for: Overthinking at bedtime Anxiety and mental restlessness Reflecting on personal growth Deep relaxation and restorative sleep Ending the week with peace and gratitude   A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART Dear Friend, Tonight marks one week of showing up for yourself. Before anything else, I hope you'll pause for a moment and acknowledge that. So often we focus on how far we still have to go that we forget to honor how far we've already come. Over the past week, you've practiced awareness, letting go, acceptance, trust, compassion, and balance. Maybe some nights felt easier than others. Maybe your mind still wandered. Maybe sleep didn't come as quickly as you hoped. That's okay. Growth rarely happens in dramatic moments. More often, it happens quietly—in the small choices we make again and again. The choice to return to our breath. The choice to be gentle with ourselves. The choice to keep showing up. Tonight isn't about learning something new. It's about recognizing what is already growing within you. You don't need to become someone different to find peace. You simply need to trust what you're already becoming. I'm grateful you've shared this journey with me. And I'm so glad you're here. With love, Mary This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud. This seven-day guided sleep meditation series is designed to help you gently step out of repetitive thinking, release the mental weight of the day, and create a more peaceful transition into sleep. Each evening introduces a different calming practice, including visualization, affirmations, slow breathing, mudra, chakra meditation, layered relaxation, and a Yoga Nidra–inspired weekly review. Together, these practices guide you through a soothing emotional journey: Release. Rest. Ground. Protect. Nurture. Balance. Embody. Throughout the series, you'll explore a blend of modern mindfulness, gentle nervous-system support, ancient yogic wisdom, reflective storytelling, and compassionate encouragement. This is not about forcing your mind to become blank or making sleep happen on command. It is about changing the way you relate to your thoughts—learning to notice them without following every one, softening the urge to solve everything at night, and allowing your body to remember how to rest. Over the course of the week, you'll be invited to: Release unfinished thoughts and worries Give yourself permission to rest Ground your awareness in the breath and body Create a sense of emotional safety at bedtime Meet overthinking with compassion instead of criticism Bring multiple calming practices together Reflect on what helps you feel most peaceful and supported Each episode also includes a daily reflection question and a supportive Message for Your Heart to help you carry the practice beyond the meditation. You do not need to finish every thought tonight. You do not need to solve tomorrow before it arrives. Let this series become a gentle evening ritual—a place to set down the day, quiet the mind, and return to yourself. Press play, settle into a comfortable position, and begin your seven-day journey toward deeper rest and a calmer relationship with your thoughts. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE NIGHTSTAND SURRENDER RITUAL Each night, write the thought taking up the most mental space.

I invite you to consider the gentle middle path between effort and surrender. Many of us carry the weight of unfinished tasks, unanswered questions, and endless mental to-do lists into bed. But sleep does not arrive through more effort. It arrives when we allow ourselves to rest in balance. In this episode, you'll discover a fascinating insight from neuroscience about the brain's nighttime processing systems, learn an ancient wisdom teaching about the importance of rhythm and moderation, and hear a relatable story about someone learning that not every problem needs to be solved before sleep. As your body softens and your mind quiets, you'll be guided into a peaceful state where balance replaces striving, allowing sleep to come naturally. Perfect for: Racing thoughts at bedtime Anxiety and overthinking Difficulty letting go of unfinished tasks Deep relaxation and restful sleep A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART Dear Friend, As we arrive at Day 6 of our journey together, I want to remind you of something important: You do not have to carry everything. So many of us believe that if we think a little harder, plan a little better, or stay awake a little longer, we'll finally find peace. But peace isn't found by doing more. Sometimes it's found by allowing ourselves to stop. Tonight's theme is balance. Balance isn't having everything figured out. It's knowing when to set things down and trust that tomorrow is another day. If your heart feels heavy tonight, give yourself permission to release the pressure to solve every problem before sleep. The unfinished tasks can wait. The unanswered questions can wait. You have done enough for today. You deserve rest, not because everything is complete, but because you are human. As you listen tonight, may you find the balance between effort and surrender, between doing and simply being. I'm so glad you're here.

Place a hand over your heart. It's time to be gentle with yourself as you turn in for the evening. Visualize a soft green or rose-colored light, and respond to worried thoughts with warmth instead of criticism. You'll also hear an approachable explanation of self-compassion, ancient yogic wisdom connected to the heart center, and a relatable story about setting down the need to remain constantly on watch. Tonight's practice is not about forcing the mind to become silent. It is about reassuring the part of you that has been working so hard to protect you. Let this meditation help you soften emotional tension, feel more supported within yourself, and prepare for peaceful rest. Tonight's reflection question: What might my overthinking be trying to protect me from, and what reassurance does that part of me need tonight? Daily Message for Your Heart "I want to remind you that you are not doing anything wrong because your mind feels busy. Sometimes overthinking is simply a tired part of you trying to feel safe. Tonight, meet that part with kindness instead of criticism. Place a hand over your heart and gently say: "I am here with you. You do not have to keep watch. We can rest now." You do not need every answer tonight. You are doing the best you can, and you are worthy of rest exactly as you are."

Midweek Milestone Note: Look at how far you have come since Day 1. In just a few short days, you have actively retrained your nervous system to step out of survival mode and find its footing. Hitting the middle of the week is often when external demands peak, making tonight's practice the perfect opportunity to witness your own growth and resilience. You are doing an incredible job sticking with this commitment to your inner peace—keep going. Are you arriving at bedtime feeling completely depleted, over-stimulated, or emotionally exhausted from absorbing the stress of your environment?  Tonight, our developmental arc is Protect. In this session, we explore the somatic neuroscience of energy conservation and sensory overload—revealing how high-stress days create subconscious tension loops in the lower abdomen that block deep sleep. Tonight, we introduce a high-performance physical seal: the Shakti Mudra. By closing specific nerve circuits in your fingers and directing your focus to your core, you actively signal your nervous system to drop its armor, halt cortisol production, and build an unshakeable boundary around your sleep. Turn down the volume of the world, lock your protective seal, and drop into deep, restorative rest. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Porous Nervous System: The biological reason why high-achievers absorb environmental anxiety and hit a wall of nighttime sensory burnout. The Shakti Mudra Protocol: Step-by-step instructions on how to use this hand seal to soothe the pelvic plexus and trigger a parasympathetic shift. Somatic Shielding: A guided bedtime integration to help you stop over-functioning for the world and reclaim your absolute sovereignty over the night. A Message for Your Heart "I know how deeply you care for everything and everyone in your orbit. You are constantly holding up a massive vision, managing complex timelines, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because your heart is so big, it is incredibly easy to let the chaotic energy of the outside world bleed into your personal sanctuary when the lights go out. Tonight, I want to remind you that protecting your peace is not selfish—it is an act of supreme inner sovereignty. You cannot serve from an empty well, and you do not have to be a sponge for the stress of the world to be successful. By holding the Shakti Mudra tonight, you are safely sealing your borders and declaring that your rest is non-negotiable. Step back into your own power. You are doing an extraordinary job." This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 3521-3527.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY A Seven-Day Journey into Rest, Release, and Inner Calm When the day grows quiet, the mind can become surprisingly loud.
