Can't sleep? There's an app for that...and you shouldn't feel bad about using your phone to lull you to sleep.
insomnia create a chicken-egg problem. The more you scroll—the blue light activating the retinal ganglions in your eyes that signal daylight to your brain—the harder it is to sleep, and the harder it is to sleep, the more likely you are likely to zone out and scroll.
It was during one of these zombie-like doomscrolls about six months ago that I happened upon a targeted advertisement for a $59.99 annual subscription for the aforementioned sleep hypnosis app. I’ve fallen prey to a few of these self-help fixes over the years—if you’re scrolling at 4 am, the algorithm knows you’re vulnerable—and I didn’t have much hope that this would help.
After a few weeks of relative success with the audio recordings , I considered that hypnotism was the magic bullet I’d been waiting for. But actually—hadn’t I tried hypnosis before? And found it pointless? Were these recordings even real hypnosis? I’d long since experimented with several meditation and wellness apps to wind down at the end of the day without effect.
“Turn off all distractions,” Teri instructs me as I close my eyes. But the app doesn’t allow me to download her recordings. I have to keep my phone online just to channel her voice. Inevitably, I wake up to dozens of messages.
