The Insomniac's Sleep Trainer

This is the sleep aid designed by insomniacs that uses light to employ cardiac coherence training (CCT)—a breathing technique designed to lower your heart rate for a better night's sleep. Its metronome light system projects a hypnotic blue light onto the ceiling that slowly brightens and dims to help you synchronize your breathing. Relying on the same breathing techniques taught in yoga for relaxation and stress reduction, the device prompts you to take deep, slow, regular breaths to relax your muscles, slow your heart rate, and help reduce the body’s production of cortisol. Ideal for combatting jet lag or for those with irregular sleep schedules, the device offers an effective alternative to drugs without any side effects. With 8- or 20-minute sleep cycles, automatic shut-off, and adjustable brightness. Includes three AAA batteries.
