Practice Guided Sleep Meditation
Guided meditation is an excellent mindfulness habit to help you relax and go to sleep. With guided meditation, you are eased into a meditative state by a person who has recorded a meditation sequence.
This guide will walk you through the process step by step, so that you don’t have to do any of the mental work (except following instructions). You can simply listen, let go, and relax into sleep.
As you listen to the guide and follow the relaxation and sleep-inducing instructions, you will be less focused on your own thoughts and worries—thoughts that can keep you from falling asleep. The soothing effects of guided sleep meditations often result in you falling asleep before the meditation is over.
