[quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of people recommending the Calm app. I downloaded it to help me fall back asleep when I wake up 2 hours after going to bed. My mind goes into overdrive and 2 hours later I’m still lying there reliving every past decision in my life.

I am still in the trial phase, and I’ve tried it for a few nights so far and it’s good but I don’t LOVE  it. It seems like most of the sessions are the body scans which I can’t get into (mind wanders). Also the stories (wonder by McConaughey) don’t keep my attention and my mind still drifts.

How do you breathe with the guided breathing exercises? I do better with in through nose and out through mouth. I’ve tried out through nose as well, but my breaths are shallow when laying on my back and it’s hard to go the entire count. In -2-3-4-hold-2-3-4-out-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.

Also it’s distracting at 1am even with earbuds in my breath gets synchronized with my husband’s sleeping beside me instead; or as I’m relaxing he makes an abrupt move shifting in his sleep and makes it harder to really focus. I am considering moving to guest room as a test. Right now, I’m getting up most nights anyway when I cannot go back to sleep.

I have 3 more nights of the Calm app trial before the annual subscription auto charge. Should I just give it more time? Or Try something else?
