I bought this for myself. You heard me. I’m 82 and have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Pills are not my thing so I thought I would try this galaxy projector, never expecting the results I’ve gotten. But the price was right.
Years ago, I tried a couple of less sophisticated devices that didn’t help. They both lacked the many important features that this little beauty has: a remote control, two power off settings, speed and brightness control, a gorgeous wide-coverage display, a very small footprint; and a USB connector.
When I’m ready to sleep, I turn it on with the easy to use remote control, set the timer to 45 minutes, change the nebula to the softest green, and set the star and nebula speeds to the slowest settings. I lie back and watch. I have never seen it actually turn off because within 10 to 15 minutes. I am sound asleep and miraculously stay asleep (that part has never happened before).
I’ve thought a lot about why this little inexpensive device has had such a powerful effect on my decades-long sleep disruptions, and have come up with a few theories: the calming green colors, the soothing slow motion, and the fact that I’m not going from bright light to being plunged into total darkness. I’m not a sleep expert, but I know how refreshed I feel in the morning.
Are you looking for a great gift for an insomniac?
