Get Back To Sleep – Naturally

Awake again in the middle of the night? If you have trouble getting back to sleep, lie awake with racing thoughts or find yourself dreading another broken night, this spacious sleep meditation is designed for those restless early hours when sleep feels harder the more you try.

Instead of chasing sleep, you’ll be encouraged to stop trying altogether. Rest quietly. Let the body grow heavy. Allow thoughts to come and go. Let time take care of itself. Whether sleep comes quickly or not, resting is enough - and releasing the pressure can make it easier to drift back to sleep naturally.

Ideal for broken sleep, interrupted sleep, nighttime waking, early-morning waking, insomnia, sleep anxiety and an overactive mind.

Spoken slowly in my soothing British male voice, with gentle rain sounds throughout, this calming sleep talk-down helps you settle, rest deeply and allow sleep to return in its own time.

If this sleep meditation worked for you, please let me know in the comments... tomorrow.
