    Yeah so the spa music and eye mask don’t make you relax a bit it

    absolutely definitely the stickers that are a completely genius new invention. Tale worthy of Hans Christian Andersen

    Of course it's just a sticker. Only the “quantum biosignal AI processing discs” really work. Can't believe they missed out on both "quantum" and "AI", what amateurs.

    Turning off my phone reduced my anxiety tremendously and it's free.
