Trippy!
This thing blows my mind! The first time I used it I was like "No way!" As I kept using it I discovered that it is literally the only way I am able to fall asleep nights when my mind is so full of thoughts and my anxiety is running rampant! I hate the way sleep aids make me feel like I've been run over by a freight train. I recently switched from using "Deep Sleep" to "Dreamy Sleep" and had the craziest dreams! I normally can't remember my dreams and I was actually able to recall quite a bit of them. Unfortunately last night, I dreamt that I faked the death of my dog last year and I felt like it lasted the whole night so I think I'll be switching back to "Deep Sleep" :( Awesome product though. My *only* complaint is that I wish there were more ambiance options or the ability to use it with Pandora. You can use your own music but I don't have much personal music on my phone so I am limited to using the app's ambiance tracks and they get old after a while. Highly recommend!

It works really well but it's not your guru or ambien
I went to a weekend meditation seminar and resolved to meditate more often. I also wanted to sleep better. I purchased Brain Wave, Mind Tuner, Perfect Sleep, Tranquil Mind, Brain Beats, MyCalmBeat, Perfect Sleep, Deep Sleep, and My Meditation. I tried them all and, to some extent, they all work. However, Brain Wave, Tranquil Mind and Perfect Sleep are, by far, the best for me. Banzai Labs has done a good job. You can select any of a variety of binaural applications from Morning Coffee straight through 20 routines to Deep Sleep. I tried Power Nap for 20 minutes and dozed off. However, instead of being a little groggy or spaced when I awoke, I was alert and oriented. You can also select a background ambient noise and the sound level. Unlike all of the other programs, you can select how long you want it to run. I now meditate every morning and Brain Wave and Mind Tuner have been reliable and helpful. Perfect Sleep has been very effective. I have been getting up twice or three times a night and sometimes it difficult to fall back to sleep. Now I listen to Deep Sleep for 15 minutes, take it off when it's done and immediately fall asleep and stay asleep for at least 3-4 hours. If I awaken, I easily go back to sleep. Although I like Deep Sleep, the hypnosis simply is not as effective for me as the binaural beats of Perfect Sleep.

Maybe Placebo, Definitely Don’t Care
I’m not sure I buy the science behind this app. I’ve read one peer reviewed study from the early 2000s that did note improvements in anxiety after subjects used brainwaves for 30 minutes a day. There were no adverse effects, so I thought I had nothing to lose. This seems to work for me. Works well for anger issues, increasing positive attitude, and helping induce relaxation before bedtime. Placebo effect is powerful, and that could definitely be at play here. But that’s fine with me since the app is relatively cheap and I’ve got nothing to lose. Just please note that I DO have anxiety and I work continuously with mental health professionals to care for myself. I also exercise, eat well, and practice all self care that’s recommended. This is NOT a cure all. This definitely would NOT work on its own, not for me. But, as a part of a whole, it is helpful.
