AIBU to want an app like headspace but not cost £10 a month?!

[Janus]

I’ve had headspace for about a year now but have recently switched to audible for dropping off to sleep. Sometimes I do wake up and out on headspace but it’s becoming less and less.
Is there something similar, control your breathing, help to node back off, that’s free?
Thank you!

Crikey, excuse spelling!!

I've heard of Calm but not sure if it's free.

Headspace does have some free meditations which you still have access to after cancelling subscription, but they're limited in number.

Insight timer is fab. All free

Calm is good, I think I paid £35 a year.

I agree insight timer is free and really varied.

I have buddhify on my phone which costs a few pounds initially but has a selection of meditations that you don't have to pay more for. I've also downloaded petit bambou which was free and I think you can access quite a bit without paying.

Insecond Insight Timer,

Another vote for Insight Timer: thousands of meditations to choose from. I love it.

I second

Listen to paulmckenna I can make u sleep
It’s soothing rhythmic and dp swears by it
Free on u tube

Insight timer. It’s a mixed bag because it’s so huge, but I have some sleep meditations and some simple recordings of waves, rain etc that I use most nights to get me to sleep.

Calm is really good and there’s a 40% discount at the moment, so I paid £17 for the year. I use it loads.

Try Smiling Mind. It's been developed by an (Australian?) Charity and completely free.

If you have an AmEx, calm is free for the first year and 50% the next year. Chat with them and they’ll activate if you’re eligible.

I fall asleep to crime podcasts 😂

Fantastic! I used to have Calm but I think I paid for that too but will look into if I can get it free but will also look at insight too as there’s so many mentions.
To be fair, I’ve even just googled ‘wave sounds’ and found I nod off to that! I either get back to sleep pretty easily or am up for hours!
Moly both my teenage daughters nod off to that too, I don’t how it’s relaxing but it seems to work for them too!!

Buddhify

Decent people that run it a proper training in meditation.

£10 a month for headspace is a SHOCKING rip off.
