Headspace/Calm Global Access: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This initiative provides access to digital tools designed to help people manage sleep and mental wellbeing through mobile applications.

👤Who it's for

This service is available to the general public, meaning anyone can sign up to use these digital resources. It is particularly useful for people whose professional lives involve constant travel and changing time zones, making it difficult to maintain a consistent sleep schedule or access traditional healthcare services while moving between different countries.

🎁What you get

Users receive access to various meditation and sleep aids through specialized apps. These digital tools are specifically designed to help with jet lag management, providing guided sessions to help your body adjust to new time zones and irregular rest patterns. The goal is to provide mental health support and sleep assistance that can be used anywhere in the world.

💰What it costs you

Accessing these tools typically requires paying a subscription fee to the app provider. However, you should check with your employer first, as some companies offer free access to these services as part of a professional development or employee wellness package. If your employer provides it, you may be able to bypass the standard subscription costs.

⚠️The catch to know

Because these are digital applications, you need to plan ahead regarding connectivity. You must have a stable internet connection to download your preferred meditation or sleep sessions; once they are downloaded, you can use them while offline, but you cannot access new content without a connection.

📝How to apply

1. Research the specific meditation or sleep applications you wish to use.
2. Contact your employer to see if they offer free access as part of your benefits.
3. Download the chosen application onto your mobile device.
4. Create an account and, if necessary, pay the subscription fee to unlock the full library of sleep and jet lag management tools.
