What if you didn't have to try to sleep at all?
No forcing,
No struggling,
No overthinking.
Just lying down and slowly,
Naturally,
Drifting into sleep.
Because sleep is not something you do.
It's something that happens when you stop doing everything else.
And tonight,
You don't need to try.
You just need to allow yourself to drift.
Now,
Lie down comfortably.
Let your body fully rest.
Legs slightly apart.
Arms relaxed beside you.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And exhale completely.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
And exhale,
Letting go.
One more deep breath in.
And slowly release.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your body.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Supporting you completely.
Allow your body to sink deeper and deeper.
Now,
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Slow,
Gentle,
Effortless.
You don't need to control it.
Breathing is happening on its own.
Now,
Feel your body becoming heavier.
Your legs completely relaxed.
Your arms soft and still.
Your shoulders melting down.
Your face completely relaxed.
Your eyes resting deeply.
Now,
Imagine,
With every exhale,
You are drifting deeper and deeper.
Into rest.
Like slowly sinking into a soft,
Comfortable space.
There,
Everything is calm.
Everything is quiet.
There is nothing to do.
Nothing to think about.
Nothing to control.
Now,
Gently repeat in your mind.
I am drifting.
I am relaxing.
I am moving into deep sleep.
With every breath out,
Feel yourself going deeper.
Further away from thoughts.
Closer to sleep.
Now,
Allow your awareness to become softer.
No need to stay fully alert.
Just gently floating in awareness and sleep.
If thoughts come,
Let them fade away.
Like distant echoes.
Becoming quieter and quieter.
