Is driving stressing you out? Turn on the Headspace experience on Waze

Is the thought of commuting back to work or driving for interstate travel stressing you out? Waze has a limited-time Headspace experience to help drivers deal with traffic. — ZHAFARAN NASIB/The Star

Back on the road to work? Find yourself increasingly stuck in traffic jams and feeling your stress levels rising? Waze wants to help mitigate that with a new mindfulness and meditation experience on its app.

Available for a limited time, the Drive with Headspace feature – the result of Waze’s partnership with Headspace, a meditation app – aims to go beyond countering the negative effects of being stuck in traffic for too long (like worsening blood pressure, sleep, back pain and risk of depression) and help drivers actually enjoy their time behind the wheel by offering custom navigation prompts.
