My wife keeps suggesting meditation and I'm skeptical but I downloaded Calm last week for like $80/year. Did 3 sessions so far and honestly the 10-minute ones actually help me wind down before bed. Not a miracle but cheaper than therapy and I can do it at 9pm without leaving the house. Wondering if anyone else uses it or if there's a better app out there.
I was skeptical too but $80 a year is literally nothing compared to what I spend on coffee so I figured why not. Been using it for like 3 weeks and honestly I can tell a difference in my sleep even.
Your wife is right and you know it deep down. I resisted meditation for years thinking it was too 'woo woo' but turns out sitting quietly for 10 minutes actually works on the nervous system.
Not a waste at all. I use the sleep stories more than anything and it's been genuinely helping with my insomnia. The meditation stuff is solid but those stories are the real MVP.
Calm is solid but have you looked at Headspace? I switched from Calm because I liked the interface better and the sleep stories hit different for me personally.

I'll be honest, I downloaded it, used it for like 3 days and then forgot about it. But I know other people swear by it so maybe you'll have better luck. Give it a real shot though, not just one week.
