Sleep Meditation To Relax Into Deep Sleep

This gentle guided meditation will help you relax fully so you can drift effortlessly into deep sleep. You’ll begin by releasing tension throughout your body. With every slow breath, your muscles loosen, your body feels heavier, and you settle into complete comfort. There is nothing left to do, nowhere to go — only this moment of deep relaxation.

From there, your imagination carries you into a beautiful evening garden. The soft grass beneath your feet, the scent of flowers on the breeze, and the warmth of the fading sun all invite you to let go even more. At the center of this tranquil space, you’ll discover a strong, welcoming hammock. Step by step, you climb in and sink into its cocoon of safety and ease.

As the hammock rocks gently side to side, waves of calm wash over you, soothing every part of your being. The rhythmic swaying cradles you deeper and deeper, like being held in loving arms, until you drift naturally into peaceful, nourishing sleep.

I often struggle to reach deep sleep, waking up through the night, but with this track I stayed asleep longer and woke up feeling more restored
