Sleep meditation

Prepare for sleep and make falling asleep easier

Sleep cannot be commanded. Watching the clock and trying harder often keeps the mind awake. A bedtime meditation does not force sleep; it creates calmer conditions that allow sleep to arrive.

Sleep

Move gradually from daytime into night

01

The brain benefits from repeated cues that the day is ending. Softer light, less stimulation and a stable routine support this transition.

02

A body scan shifts attention away from mental activity and toward simple sensations. Every area does not need to become perfectly relaxed.

03

If sleep does not arrive, the session is still a period of rest. Removing the need to succeed can reduce the tension surrounding bedtime.
