Sleep Awareness Week 2026

Navigate chronic insomnia, racing thoughts, sleep medication anxiety, and revenge bedtime procrastination with AI-guided meditation that understands sleep struggles—without repeating useless sleep hygiene advice.

Sleep Awareness Week 2026 has passed

You've tried everything: blackout curtains, blue light blockers, melatonin, magnesium, sleep trackers, weighted blankets, white noise machines, meditation apps that tell you to 'just breathe.' You've read a thousand articles about sleep hygiene. But you're STILL awake at 3am with racing thoughts. StillMind doesn't repeat the same tired advice—it helps you navigate the psychological reality of chronic sleep struggles.

😫

Racing Mind at 3 AM

"I wake up at 3am every night with racing thoughts about work, money, and everything I did wrong today. I can't shut my brain off..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that addresses racing thoughts—acknowledging the anxious rumination without 'just relax' pressure, guiding gentle thought diffusion techniques, and honoring that your nervous system is hypervigilant, not broken.

💊

Sleep Medication Dependency Anxiety

"I've been on Ambien for 2 years and I'm terrified I'll never sleep naturally again..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that explores medication relationship—acknowledging the fear without judgment whether you stay on meds or taper, guiding compassion for your sleep struggle, and validating your needs without 'natural is better' moralizing.

📱

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

"I'm exhausted but I scroll TikTok until 2am because it's the only time I have control of my day..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that addresses autonomy—acknowledging this isn't laziness but reclaiming stolen time, guiding exploration of gentle sovereignty, and helping you honor your need for control without shame about the pattern.

😴

Insomnia Performance Anxiety

"I'm so anxious about not sleeping that the anxiety keeps me awake. I'm in a vicious cycle..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that works with the sleep paradox—acknowledging that the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive it becomes, guiding practice of effortless wakefulness instead of forced sleep, and helping you release performance pressure.

🌙

Shift Work Sleep Disorder

"I work night shifts and everyone tells me to 'just get blackout curtains' but my body is wrecked..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that honors circadian disruption—acknowledging your sleep struggle isn't personal failure but biological warfare against natural rhythm, guiding body awareness for shift work stress, and validating the real harm of disrupted sleep.

😰

Nightmares and Sleep Terror

"I have PTSD nightmares every night and I'm afraid to go to sleep. Sleep feels dangerous..."

AI Creates:

Personalized guided meditation that provides trauma-aware sleep support—acknowledging that sleep IS scary when full of terror, guiding safety establishment before bed and nightmare processing after waking, and validating you're not dramatizing real trauma responses.

How AI Meditation Adapts to Sleep Reality

Generic sleep meditations tell you to 'relax and breathe deeply'—ignoring that effort makes insomnia worse. StillMind's AI tailors sessions to YOUR specific sleep challenge:

🧠

The harder you try to sleep, the more elusive it becomes. AI guides paradoxical intention: practicing effortless wakefulness instead of forced sleep. No performance pressure.

💊

Whether on Ambien, trazodone, or melatonin—medication use framed without 'natural is better' moralizing. Your sleep aid isn't moral failure; it's survival tool.

Shift workers, parents, caregivers—your sleep disorder isn't personal failure. It's structural violence against biological rhythm. Meditation meets you in circadian chaos.

😰

PTSD nightmares, sleep paralysis, night terrors—sleep isn't safe for everyone. AI provides safety establishment practices without minimizing sleep-related trauma.

How It Works

2

Receive 10-25 minute personalized session with sleep effort paradox awareness, medication compassion, and circadian validation.

3

4

Track sleep struggles without self-blame. Your insomnia isn't laziness or weakness—it's a complex biopsychosocial challenge.

How is my data kept private?

Your journal entries and meditation data are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored. Your thoughts stay private. We never sell your data, show ads, or share your information with third parties. You're always in control of what stays private.

Can I meditate with friends using StillMind?

Yes! StillMind includes optional social features to connect with friends and support each other's practice. You have complete control. Social features can be disabled entirely, and you choose exactly what gets shared. By default, journal entries stay private. Nothing is shared without your explicit permission.

What platforms is StillMind available on?

StillMind is available on iOS (12.0 or later) and Android (8.0 or later). Download it from the App Store or Google Play Store. We also offer a lightweight Chrome extension (just 42KB) for quick meditation sessions from your browser.

Yes! Your meditation journal belongs to you. Export your entries anytime as PDF, plain text, or CSV. Take your practice history with you, create backups, or analyze your patterns in your preferred tools. We believe in data freedom.

Does StillMind track meditation streaks?

Yes, but differently. Instead of anxiety-inducing streak counters that reset on rest days, we show your most encouraging metric: whether that's total sessions, longest streak, or recent consistency. Life happens; we celebrate practice without punishment.

Can I use StillMind offline?

Absolutely. Your meditation practice shouldn't depend on WiFi. StillMind works completely offline: time sessions, write journal entries, capture voice notes. Everything syncs seamlessly when you reconnect.

How does StillMind help build a consistent meditation habit?

Through compassionate momentum tracking, personalized session presets, and optional friend accountability. We remove decision fatigue (preset your favorite durations), show encouraging stats (never shame you for gaps), and let you share milestones with friends (if you want). Consistency through support, not guilt.
