Close Down. Switch Off. Let Go. Drift Into Deep Sleep

If you struggle to get to sleep, wake during the night and can’t get back to sleep, or lie awake with racing thoughts, this relaxing sleep meditation is designed to help you switch off, let go and drift naturally into deep sleep.

Perfect for bedtime, broken sleep, interrupted sleep, middle-of-the-night waking or those early hours when your body is tired but your mind won’t settle.

You’ll be guided slowly around the body, relaxing each area in turn and allowing everything to close down, switch off and let go. There’s no need to force sleep or stop your thoughts. Simply listen as the body becomes heavier, calmer and more relaxed.

Soothing ocean waves continue after the guided section, helping you remain settled before fading into silence.

Spoken slowly in my soothing British male voice, this 90-minute sleep meditation is ideal for trouble falling asleep, insomnia, an overactive mind, restless nights and especially waking during the night and needing help to fall back asleep.
