Using devices and gaming before bed can be stimulating but Pillow is a new mixed-reality app for Quest and it creates a calming and immersive environment conducive to relaxation to support more restful nights. This app created by YouTuber Lucas Rizzotto offers four unique experiences to help people unwind and each one is designed to be used while lying down in bed. With Sky Fishing, users will fish for user-created voice messages and make new discoveries every day, and Stargazing turns a ceiling into an interactive night sky. There are also choose-your-own-adventure [Bedtime Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtimefable-ai) and rhythm-based, [breath-tracked Meditations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blissland) to help the mind and body slow down.

Additionally, Pillow offers a multiplayer mode so that friends, or couples, who are separated by distance can connect from afar.
