Awake Too Early? | Back To Sleep Meditation

Woken earlier than you’d like, with your mind suddenly wide awake? This gentle 20 minute back-to-sleep meditation is designed to help you settle after early waking, soften racing thoughts and return to a sense of rest.
Using simple breathing, longer exhales and soothing suggestions, you’ll be gently guided to let go of whatever your mind has started bringing up and allow your body to settle naturally.
After around seven minutes of gentle guidance, calming Delta Frequencies continues, giving you space to remain comfortably in bed and drift towards sleep or deeper rest.
Perfect for early waking, interrupted sleep, racing thoughts, sleep anxiety and difficulty getting back to sleep.
Best time to listen: during a nighttime wake-up, especially when you wake earlier than you’d like.
