Muse Lesson 2

The prevalence of sleep disorders has become normalized in the 21st century, as increased stress in our daily lives, sedentary lifestyles, physiological changes, and declining mental health impact our ability to unwind at the end of the day. In Lesson 2, we will learn more about sleep training sessions in the Muse app and explore methods of using the Muse device to build healthy, sustainable sleep habits.

Before begining Lesson 2, put on your Muse headband according to the steps outlined in Lesson 1. After the headband is properly fitted, access your Muse app and connect your device to the app. Remember, the Muse device has seven sensors. Each sensor is represented by a geometric icon. All six geometric icons on the screen must be filled in and illuminated indicating each sensor can detect your brain activity.

Info

As you complete sleep sessions with the Muse device, you will benefit from responsive sleep experiences that help train your mind and guide you into a deeper, more restful sleep.

Each sleep experience features a coach to guide users through the sleep journeys, sounds naturally occuring in nature, and some feature the addition of orchestral instruments.
