You can create day scenarios, such as “Weekdays,” “Weekends,” or “Emergency.” Each scenario can include activities and a schedule for each. Using scenarios allows you to quickly set up your plan for the day. The app includes built-in activities: "Falling Asleep," "Meditation," and "Calm Down." Using vibration, they help regulate your breathing. Just follow the assistant’s instructions, and you’ll be able to fall asleep in 15 minutes, even if you don’t feel like sleeping. If you’re irritated, start the "Calm Down" activity and deeply relax. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
