Thanks Colleen @colleenyoung ring from the stroke was a life changing experience, learning to walk, speak, all the physiotherapy involved, the most important lessons I learned, I treat sleep like a medicine today, I learned to turn off my phone 2-3 hours before bed time, same with TV, I was always interested into meditation.

But I started the daily meditation after the stroke, and I notice it helped a lot. One meditation tool I use 2-3 times a week is a Meditation App called Tripp, and I run the app inside the 3D device called Oculus.

There are two kinds of Tripps (there so a lot more inside) that I use the most
Focus Tripps and Relaxing Tripps, the Focus trips are amazing.

If you already own the Oculus device, try the Tripp app for free, and if you like, I suggest getting the lifetime one time payment option.

I tried in 2020, I loved it...I signed up for the month to month, but after month 2 it was clear I was hooked,,, and at least in 2020, there was not easy way to switch from month to month to Lifetime...so I had to cancel and signup again.

Also on the latest App Update, a new feature was introduced, something call Elysium??? not 100% on the spelling, but basically the more you use the app, they give you some amazing virtual objects, that you can place in your virtual meditation room, which you create and overlay over the space you are using the app, so image an amazing candle (the timer) burning on the top of you real table....then some colorful butterflies....will stop here not to spoil.

There are some other meditation apps available, but this one is my favorite, my daily routine still focus on a regular meditation session < 20 minutes, but when time allows I have an amazing Oculus Tripp right after the meditation.

Yes there is a learning curve, I had to learn the Oculus Device first (lots of Youtube videos about) then the Tripp App, I use in recline mode, so if a fall sleep, the weight of the device will not hurt your neck.

I will check the other 2 threads you mentioned.
