TV for insomniacs: Netflix's Headspace Guide To Sleep
Nodding off in front of the telly is a time-honoured ritual which has over time evolved from waking up to the crackle of end of hours broadcast, to Netflix beadily asking, “Are you still watching?” (an irritating feature that is mercifully in the trial stages of being switched off).
Given the soporific nature of TV it was perhaps inevitable that streaming platforms would branch out into programmes intentionally designed to help the viewer sleep – and, more importantly, to get their slice of the growing meditation pie. Netflix has three series this year in collaboration with the popular Headspace app – the second, Headspace Guide to Sleep, landed this week.
