My form of meditation is to go for a run, no music, no distractions. It usually takes me half an hour to finally reach a point where my mind goes quiet, I "solved" everything that would otherwise keep repeating in my mind while trying to sleep. I don't have to come up with a solution but at least it feels like I spent enough time on it to let it go.
Especially long runs do wonders, I get into a relaxed trance like state which sticks even after running. Maybe it's the exhaustion or the fact that the energy is spent somewhere other than my brain, but I don't care, it feels nice.
Every now and then I do one as well, while lying down in bed. Based on Wim Hof: 30 quick breaths, breathe out and wait until you get the urge to breathe (can take a while), inhale fully and tense all your muscles for 15 seconds, release your muscles and breathe out.
It can cause fainting. Maybe I don't sleep, maybe I just faint for 7 hours.
Reminds me of some research I once did in order to reduce typos on low-end Firefox OS devices. The capacitive touchscreen had horrible limitations, especially for typing. It had bands across the screen where it could only detect one finger at a time. Once you picked up typing speed it ended up in similar misses you see in the YouTube video, albeit even worse (you end up with a letter between your two fingers).
Eventually found two simple but effective ways to improve autocorrect/typing performance. First build a personalized and adaptive touch model trained on the device itself, mainly to fix simple typos.
Second to fix low end screen limitations, use simple heuristics based on touchstart, touchmove and touchend [1].
Anyways, I'm no iPhone user but interesting to read. It would drive me nuts.
In Amsterdam,NL we've had these for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canta_(vehicle)
And the more recent, fancier Biro:

You're allowed to drive them with a moped licence, available for 16 y/o. Don't think they cause many accidents though, I'd say safer than a moped.
They're causing issues as you are allowed to park them on the sidewalk (which is already crowded by bikes).
