It isn’t a secret I really struggle to sleep well. I sleep 12 – 14 hours a day, however, I never wake up refreshed and it takes me hours to drop off at night. As such I’m always interested in new sleep aids and how they might just help me get into a better sleep rhythm.
Last month I heard about Morphée, a new sleep aid, which offers some really unique features.
What is Morphée?
Back in 2016, two flatmates in the heart of Provence; Charlie and Guillaume, came to find they had more in common than just a shared living space. Together they decided they wanted to combine their shared experiences and passions and help others discover the benefits of relaxing and meditation.
After two years of research and consulting with sleep specialists, sophrologists, doctors and sleep centres, Morphée was born.
The idea behind this non-digital device is to soothe us into a good night’s sleep by combining meditation and disconnection.
Since the original conception, the idea has grown to include the My Little Morphée for kids and Morphée Zen which is a portable pebble alongside the original device.
How Does it Work?
The original Morphée is a simple-to-use device which is charged via USB and used wirelessly. This specific device includes 210 audio sessions of 8 or 20 minutes in length. You can also choose if you wish to have a male or female speaking voice talking you through the process.
Choosing your audio session is done by turning the three pegs to your choice of settings. The first peg chooses a theme which includes; nature sounds, breathing, movement, visualisation, body scan and cardiac coherence. The second peg chooses your specific session from within that theme and lastly, you choose the time length.
The included booklet goes into what each theme is meant to help with, for instance, breathing sessions focus on relaxing your breathing which can in turn help calm the mind and let you focus on the here and now.
It also tells you a bit about each session, for some themes a different session is read by both the male and female voice, while for others the same is told by both narrators. As such it is worth using the booklet to help familiarise yourself with what is offered under each setting and give you an idea of what might help you.
My Thoughts
I can admit that I am quite jaded by my teen years experiences when it comes to relaxation techniques. Back then it was all about visualisation, but when all you see is blackness it really does not help. However, things have changed now and it has been recognised that different people respond to different techniques.
Personally, I was really happy to find the body scan included. I find a body scan where you feel the weight of your body laying down or pressed against something, rather than where you are tensing and releasing muscles is something that can help me. However, it is also something I need guiding through and having to try and find it on YouTube via my phone app and thus waking my mind up doing so isn’t so helpful. But now all I need to do is set up my Morphée before time and turn it on when needed.
For me I also find some of the nature and white noise sounds useful as well.
Allowing you to listen by connecting a pair of headphones or via the built-in speaker, you can really listen anytime to any place. In fact, there is a “nap” theme which is great for use in the daytime.
Personally, I was really impressed by the range of meditation and relaxation themes available. You can instantly tell a lot of research and thought has gone into the product.
Does it help with sleep? Well it was never going to be a fix-all, however, if you put in the time and effort with the sessions you will most likely find them helpful. They are after all a tool, which needs your input to work. If you are worried whether it could help you or not, well right now they do have a 100-night trial going on, which could be worth looking into.
Morphée comes in at £79.95 and can be bought from their website (where you can choose to buy in English or French) and also Amazon (affiliate link) among other stores.
What do you think of the sound of Morphée, do you think it could help you?
Pin It!
I’ve never heard of this product but it sounds excellent. Pleased to read that it’s been helpful for you. I’ll be checking it out further.
Definitely worth having a look into they have some great features.
I like to read at night, makes me sleepy.
I seem to go through periods of time where certain things help me to sleep, then they stop and I need to seek something new. Keeping away from laptops or phones are definitely a step forward though!
Definitely I think for many people just letting their brain calm and settle before bed can be a huge help.
I struggle to sleep and use youtube but agree sorting phone or laptop, ad’s get in the way. This sounds really interesting
It’s hard isn’t it – plus there’s the blue light from devices which never helps.
Falling asleep is not usually a problem for me But I often wake early with the problems of the day going round. Setting morphee up with headphones then would be disturbing
This is really good for people who want to steer away from technology and wants help on sleeping. I do love how there is a lot of customisation too to suit you
Definitely – I love that there are so many choices on it to help you get it right for you.
This is interesting! I’m sure this might help someone struggling to sleep.
This sounds really great. Would love to try this and see how it goes.
I hope you get to try them out – they are a really interesting product for sure.
I have so much trouble sleeping i might give this a go!
If you do give it a try I’d love to know what you think of it as well.
This sounds good – I want to try it – I am always tired!
I am so sorry your always tired as well – it is a hard state to live in.
I’d love to hear how many purchasers of this device finds it works for them I often struggle to sleep so listen to sleep podcasts – I’m curious to know how this compares
It would definitely be different to listening to podcasts, it might be worth looking up similar exercises on youtube and seeing how they work for you? The Body Scan is my favourite, I just find bring it up on YouTube when your struggling to fall asleep wakes me personally up even more so having it like this is a huge help.
Thank you for this. I really struggle with my sleep and there are lots of ideas here to help me.
It is a really good device, I would love to know how you find it if you decide to buy one.
This looks great and also really unique, I’d love to try this
It is a really good item I was really impressed by how it worked and how simple it use I found it as at first I thought it might be a bit confusing.
This sounds like it might help my other half who struggles with sleep. I’ll definitely be looking into finding out more about the 100 night trial
I hope it helps a bit – do let me know if you decide to get one, I’d love to know how you find it.
Oh wow this sounds like it could be a wonderful thing to try for me.
I understand what you mean about visualisations. I find it very hard to visualise anything and when I do its unmoving and in 2D so I’m pretty rubbish at it!
I would love to be able to sleep more than 4/5 hours a night. Unfortunately that is mostly down to my disabled son and I don’t think the morphee could help with that!
Oh no, I am so sorry you struggle so much with sleep – if I could send you some of mine I would!
I struggle to get to sleep at night, and am then awake from about 4am. I will definitely look into it!
Oh no that’s not good at all – it is so horrid when you struggle with sleep be it too much or too little.
It certainly sounds interesting and gives a variety of visualisations instead of the 3 that I use
There has been so much thought and research went into it and it offers so many ideas. I love that it offers different types of ways to relax and calm down.
When you struggle with sleep it is worth trying anything
It really is – I used to really struggle with sleep (I still do at times) but I also sleep a lot because of my fatigue I just wish I would sleep well.
This would be ideal for my husband who never wakes up feeling refreshed even though he has slept for 8 hours
It is such a horrid thing to have to deal with when you sleep but just don’t feel refreshed after.
This makes complete sense. Before you introduced this to us, I’ve only seen baby sleep aids. I even have one for my kids. It plays nature sounds or nursery rhymes and it only make sense for there to be one for adults but with more complex choices. This would make a wonderful gift for those with sleeping problems. I, too sleep around 11-12 hours if I nap as well but I never feel awake
It’s an awful way to be – I feel like I am missing out so much on life but if I don’t sleep that much I’m even worse off. I just wish there was some way to feel different.
