I posted this earlier on another thread, but;
If you have an Android phone, I highly recommend two apps;
First one is Mindroid. You have to use this with headphones/earphones. Basically, it flashes light at your eyes and plays soothing sounds accompanied with some voodoo sounding shit. It's positively confusing how effective this is.
Pair this with Sleep As Android. This is an alarm app that actively tracks your sleep cycle and wakes you up at the most optimum time either at or slightly before the time you set your alarm. I have woken up feeling fresh AF everytime.
Is this worth buying as just a more comfortable cardboard?
I'm looking for something to use with Mindroid which I can wear while relaxing or taking short naps. Is there any other device which is softer and more breathable than the Daydream for this purpose?

The developers have another app called Mindroid that helps you meditate, wake up, relax etc. That's pretty great as well.
So, for context, this was a video I snapped while I was preparing the next step in Bambi's brainwashing for that night. The VR brainwashing she was undergoing was both acting as sensory deprivation/distraction during setup and softening her mind up for the induction I would do with her once I took the headset off and she was helplessly staring at herself on the screen.
In terms of tech for the VR stuff, I'm afraid I can't remember exactly which VR brainwashing app I had running for Bambi in the headset at the time (and, naturally, she can't remember herself), but the VR setup itself is a simple Google Daydream headset with a basic Android phone. The Daydream system has been discontinued by Google, but you can find similar Google Cardboard compatible headsets on Amazon for relatively cheap. For Android, I recommend the Mindroid app, and for any platform, I recommend Heptamind's excellent Mind Massaging Machine.
For the spiraling words overlaying the webcam feed, all the tech credit there goes to Nimja's extremely impressive public library of customizable web visuals. The specific visual I'm using here is Spiral Words, customized for this session with Bambi, but I'd certainly recommend checking out the other visuals there as well. Beyond that, the tech is fairly simple - just a laptop using it's embedded webcam, hooked up to a larger TV via HDMI. In the future, I plan to experiment more with ways to dim the lights in the rest of the room while still keeping the live webcam feed of Bambi bright and vivid - potentially by using a ring light or an external webcam with a built-in ring light.
Have you tried AVE aka audio-visual entrainment? Basically flashing lights and sounds at specific frequencies that get your brainwaves into certain patterns, e.g. the ones you have when sleeping.
If you have an Android phone, you can try out mindroid for cheap to see if it'll have any effect as opposed to buying an expensive machine. The only downside to it is having to balance a phone on your face while trying to fall asleep. It worked well enough for me that I eventually got a sleep mask with built in LEDs. You may have to adjust the settings, like I use red instead of blue for the sleep program, dim it, stretch the timing out, etc.
Academic stuff so this doesn't come off as total quackery:

I have been using one of these for years in conjunction with my magick practices.
It is a perfect short cut to a trance state.
I have experimented extensively with a couple of different frequencies and their uses.
12 Hz is perfect for relaxed problem solving and listening to music. Like a slight meditative trance where you are nicely focused but not spaced out. This is the frequency I use when I am working out my intent and exact wording for a sigil, for example.
7 Hz is excellent for visualization. When I am visualizing the exact outcome of a working and when I am preparing to make a sigil.
4 Hz is where the magick happens. There is a load of research that shows that this is the frequency that shaman use all around the world to induce the trance for journeying to the other worlds. If I am tired it will put me to sleep, so I have found that rhythmic breathing keeps me focused and not falling asleep. Once you reach this state of trance, which is pretty fast when using a mind machine, it is quite profound, and when combined with drumming, low lights, incense and breathing or mantra, is as powerful as a psychedelic, in my opinion. This is where I would launch a sigil from. It is a liminal state that feels like my mind is half in this world and half in the unconscious world. I have tried to use it for shamanic style journeying but the flashing lights stop my immersion, so I still just use a drum or drum track for that.
This is the one I use.
It works on android phones, old and new and the pro version, which allows you to write your own frequency profiles is only $4.99!
But, the catch is, you need the glasses to go with it.
I bought the glasses for $99 about 5 years ago and they were cheap pieces of shit. After they fell apart I took them apart completely and made a new set using the leds and wiring and put them into a decent pair of old safety glasses, and they still work well and now they look pretty sharp too. :)
These are the ones that they are currently selling for $119, they still look like a cheap build, but they are still probably the cheapest mind machine that you can get, and the software works perfectly.
I also use VR in my magick practices.
There is an app called tilt brush which is good for doing sigils in VR. And I have an old oculus rift that allows you to place images from your pc in virtual space around you. So I will place my protective circle below me, whichever gods or sigils I am using around me and I can still use tilt brush at the same time to work on and launch the sigil.
I have experimented with combining these ideas. I made a sigil as an image. brought it into gimp, made an inverted copy of it and turned it into a gif that strobes between the normal version and the inverted version at a 4 Hz rate. Then put that in front of me in VR. So the sigil is itself promoting the trance state while you stare at it. Powerful stuff.
Technomancy is fun.
Mindroid, it is more than white noise.

There is one which runs off android called Mindroid. The app is free and the led glasses are $119. This is probably the cheapest one you can get and its what I use. My one complaint is that the glasses are extremely cheaply made, they feel like $10 worth and I had to break the nose pads off to make them fit comfortably, but they work really really well and I have been using mine daily for over a year now.
Or.. You can build the old school equilivent which is a "Dream Machine" Which can be made from cheap second hand parts. I built one of those too but with a cool lampshade I found at ikea which is more compact and looks cooler. PM me for instructions if you are interested.
I cant emphasise enough how amazing these are for attaining trance states. I am planning to experiment with using it for lucid dreaming next.
